2 miscarriages now 4 weeks pregnant scared

[Tia2005]

I had 2 miscarriages about 18 months ago both ended about 4 weeks 2 days after I took the test , now today is 2 days after I took my test and I'm scared it's going to happen again because I've had 2 miscarriage are the chances more likely for it to happen again x

Two miscarriages doesn't increase your chances of losing this one at all. I had two DCs followed by two miscarriages, both around 8 weeks. I'm now 38 weeks pregnant. The first trimester was extremely nerve wrecking but unfortunately there's nothing you can do except stay positive and hope the time passes quickly.

Book an early scan for around 8 weeks and try to keep busy before then so time flies. Best of luck!

Hi Tia. As babyblabber says, two miscarriages doesn't increase your risk of a miscarriage this time. However that knowledge doesn't alleviate much anxiety in my experience. If you want to, feel free to join the thread 'We're posifrickintive" in this section. It's full of people at different stages of pregnancy following one or more miscarriage(s). We're all anxious together - it's so much easier in friendly understanding company!

I had two miscarriages in a row in the summer, I'm now 23 weeks pregnant after getting pregnant again straight after. The odds are the same I think so just stay positive :). And congratulations.

I know it's hard to stay positive and allow yourself to have hope, and truthfully no comments will stop you worrying. You see so many people jumping for joy at a positive test when for me it filled me with fear as I was terrified of loosing this one. Like you I had two miscarriages before this pregnancy, and now I have three weeks to my due date and I'm being kicked in the ribs as I type so please don't assume that it will happen again. I know it's hard and your scared to dream of what could be, but just get through one day at a time and the weeks will start to go by. Sending you my best wishes x

As the others have said, your two previous miscarriages don't mean the same will happen again but I can understand how you feel. I had 2 early miscarriage one after the other - both at 5+2. When I fell pregnant again I didn't even tell my partner until 6 weeks and I kept expecting the worse to happen at every scan and appointment.

Once I could feel her kicking I began to relax but I always still worried.

She's now 7 weeks old and fast asleep in my arms so please try and stay positive and not worry which I know is easier said than done!

Oh and do get an early scan if you can -I had one at 7 weeks and it did help put my mind at rest.

I'm so sorry for your losses.

There's nothing you can do other than try and take it easy, don't stress and book yourself an early scan for 7/8 weeks. Please don't go for a scan earlier than that...I know from bitter experience that it can cause more worry than reassurance.

I hope you have a very happy and healthy pregnancy
