Anyone NOT had a miscarriage? Please tell me happy tales!

[teady]

Does anyone have some happy, positive pregnancy stories which don't involve miscarriage experiences?

I am newly pregnant and am just so petrified of losing the baby. Time is dragging and the relative safety of 12 weeks feels like forever away.

I know there are no guarantees but I've read so many sad stories about miscarriages and so many statistics etc that I've worked myself into a state. Almost everyone on here seems to have miscarried previously.

Please tell me some good news stories!

Thank you again everyone for sharing, it's really kind of you and reassuring.

@CL1982 thank you for posting. I am by no means suggesting that miscarriage stories shouldn't be posted. I've personally learned a lot from reading them, and the ladies who have had those heartbreaking experiences no doubt appreciate the support from these forums. I wasn't intending to disrespect or offend anyone, and I'm so sorry if it came across that way. I just wanted to hear some happy stories involving no heartbreak to balance the many traumatic and very sad things I have read, and to help convince myself to be less anxious in my (first) very early pregnancy. I'm sorry you experienced miscarriage, but pleased for you that you had a positive outcome 

Loads of people dont have miscarriages. I didn't twice, my mum didn't twice and my daughter didn't once so far. Sadly it is common but its not everybody.

This is my first pregnancy and I'm due on Saturday!!! I've been sick as hell through it (vomiting/nausea) but baby has been absolutely fine.

I was pretty stressed in the first trimester. It's normal to be anxious but that doesn't make it any easier. Odds are in your favour though. There's like a 95% chance of a successful pregnancy after a heart beat is seen at 7-8 weeks. Hope your pregnancy goes smoothly

Two pregnancies and two big bouncing boys. I know I am very very lucky and count my blessings. My sisters were both not so lucky so I was well aware of what might be but I thoroughly enjoyed both pregnancies. All the best. Xx

Have tried to get pregnant twice and did each time, quickly and with no issues, no bleeding, no miscarriage, no problems at all. Pregnant again currently though and feel like I'm pushing my luck... I honestly feel like no-one can be this lucky, surely, to have three healthy straightforward pregnancies! So I still worry as much as anyone might about things going wrong, I think its only natural

@teady Thanks :) no offence taken at all.

My SIL had two with no problems and Loads of my friends had babies with no issues :) The odds are in your favour. Be as positive as you can!! And don't be afraid to be excited.

I've been pregnant four times and have four children to show for it. My youngest was born yesterday.

We are very fortunate. Two babies, both conceived within a fortnight of deciding to try, both born full term and healthy.

Now I just get anxious about something bad happening to them or me. I don't think the anxiety ends

2 pregnancies, no problems at all- 2 healthy lovely children 👶

My mum and her sister had multiples, well into the teens between them. I knew this from an early age and convinced myself I would be the same.

I'm now expecting no.2 and have had two fairly stress free pregnancies. I was very very stressed initially with no.1 and didn't enjoy it at all as I just expected it to go wrong.

I've 1 dc. Fell pregnant naturally after a year of trying aged 39. Had an early scan just so I could believe I was actually pregnant. Also did the blood test at 10 weeks to check for T21 etc. All fine! 20 week scan, all fine! My whole pregnancy was pretty textbook. If I could go back and do anything differently, I'd just enjoy it more. I did nothing but fret and worry when I should've been so happy.

I've had 2 pregnancies and no miscarriages that I know of. With both DC there were at least a few days before the 12-week scan that were symptom-free and I was convinced I'd lost them. I hadn't.

I got told by GP "don't expect it to last" 9 months later ... I think miscarriage is higher as we know much earlier but don't worry 💐

@CL1982 oh absolutely. What I meant was that because no-one in my immediate line has had a miscarriage (and seems to become pregnant with no problems or really trying) I think that was the reason I never thought about possibly having a miscarriage. Same with DH's family. Sorry if what I said came across wrong. Didn't mean to cause any problems.

Congratulations Teady :)
I am a happy story, I currently have 4DC from 4 uncomplicated pregnancies. I am now about 8wks with number5 and have raging paranoia - so good luck to us both!

Pregnant twice and two beautiful, healthy DC's as a result. No miscarriages though I totally understand your anxiety OP. I was a 'geriatric' and fat mum both times (34 and 36) meaning the risks were higher....I am extremely lucky to have had my DS and DD with no complications.

Congratulations on your pregnancy OP.

I've had 4 children. All in my 30's. I have never had a miscarriage.

But even if you do miscarry, many women go on to have a healthy baby so try and remain positive.

@DeadDoorpost No probs :) That is wonderful to hear. I think it's natural to be anxious-it's great so many people on here have such positive stories to tell!

I have had a miscarriage, but just because they happen doesn't mean one is going to happen to you and it shouldn't put a damper on your experience with this pregnancy. I've also had two lovely healthy pregnancies (currently 20 weeks) that were perfect. Even having had the mc (a month before I got pregnant with this baby), I wasn't worried and it's not affected how I feel about pregnancy. Shit happens, but most pregnancies are healthy and lovely and you can't spend your time worrying about the what ifs and missing out on having a positive experience when everything is going great. If you are worried, book yourself a private scan. It took a tremendous weight off my shoulders and really helped me put any worries behind me and move forward feeling relaxed and comfortable.

I'm on my third pregnancy. No bleeding, no miscarriages, no complications at all with any of them.

I'm 24 weeks with baby #4. I've been very lucky. All 4 babies in the first month of trying (#4 was an accident though). And no miscarriages. Every time I've thought statistically it's my turn not to work out but I have been lucky to never have a problem so far.
