Pregnant straight after miscarriage & worried!

[chubbychipmonk]

Hi, I had a MC at 7 & a half weeks in June and am now 7 weeks pregnant again. Hadn't planned on getting pregnant again so soon but must've conceived in the 2 weeks following my MC, I didn't have a period in between. Obv am very happy after devastating MC but worried its too soon & am worried am going to MC again. I have a son who is 2 & had a MC before him so don't know if it's my bodies way of preparing for pregnancy? Feel as if I can't relax at all & also feel guilty for wanting this baby, feel as if I'm almost cheating on the one I lost since i got pregnant so quickly after miscarrying. Anyone else been in same situation? Thanks

Hi chubbychipmonk - congratulations on the pregnancy.

I had this exact situation last year. I had a MC at about 9 weeks when pregnant with no.4 - got pregnant straight away afterwards without any period inbetween. DC4 will be 1 next week!

I was also pretty worried until I had a 12 week scan, which turned out to be fine, and I think I started to settle down a bit after that! I have never had any other MC, and am now 26 weeks with an unplanned DC5 - so I think that these things just happen sometimes, not for any particular reason.

I did read that the only reason the medical people don't like you to get pregnant straight away after MC is that it is harder to date? It certainly never affected me. Good luck and fingers crossed everything will turn out ok with this pregnancy.
