Miscarriage at 7.5 weeks

[Nina2018]

I'm having a miscarriage at 7.5 weeks. I'm 29 and it's my first pregnancy. I knew this was a risk but I wasn't quite prepared for how this would feel emotionally. I'm worried that I'm not bleeding enough and that I may not miscarry fully naturally. Part of me also feels that I want to try for another baby as soon as possible but I'm not sure I could cope if this happens again. If anyone has any thoughts or advice, I'd really appreciate it.

So sorry to hear your news.

It's an awful time but you'll get over it and move on. Your hormones and your dreams of a famous my will be making you really sad (in my experience) but honestly it gets better .

Personally I never stopped trying, had lots of miscarriages, four at your sort of timing, about 5-6 earlier - I now have two healthy crazy bonkers children ... any they're forcing me to watch Captain Undrrpants right now!!!

Grieve, do something nice like let a balloon go to say your Goodbyes then start again when you're ready
Good luck

Family! iPhone!

Hey! So sorry to hear that :(
I had a mc at 11 weeks about 6 months ago!
I was so emotional for a week, and then all I wanted was to try again.
I’d say just try and relax at home.
I past everything naturally when I was worried sick for about a week as you are now.

Have you been to the EPU? They can examine you and make sure everything is as it should be. If not they have alternatives to help you along. It can be a slow process sometimes so be patient with it. I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks, last November. It was mt first pregnancy too. It took course over 3 4 hours. EPU gave me a scan and (as heart breaking as it was) confirmed there was no sign of anything left. I accepted the whole situation mentally, but emotionally I found myself crying at the most random moments even months after. So just let yourself feel what you need to and don't think you're being weak for whatever reason.

They recommend that you wait 3 months, but they admit it's mostly for dating reasons and knowing your last period date. I waited a few months before TTC again only because I wasn't emotionally ready to take it all on again, but everyone's different. If you think you're in the right place to try again, then go for it and see what happens. I'm now 16 weeks, every twinge still has me thinking the worst but hopefully it's a healthy pregnancy.

I wish you all the best

My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 7.5 weeks. The bleeding got heavier & heavier & then lessened before stopping. I’d leave it a week or 2, take a pregnancy test. I’d Make sure you get a negative one before trying again. Then you know all the hormones have settled & your system has recovered. At that point you can think about what to do. It’s completely normal to want to be pregnant again. I gave myself a whole cycle to recover before trying again. I then got pregnant & had my son. Just give yourself some time & talk to your partner. It’s heartbreaking x

I’m so sorry that this has happened to you . I had a miscarriage in April (I’d been for a scan and discovered that the babies heart had stopped beating at 7.3 weeks) and started bleeding very lightly on the day of my scan, I was bleeding lightly for a week before passing the baby and a lot of blood.

Have you contacted your EPAU? They were fantastic with me at what felt like the darkest time of my life.

It is completely natural to want to try again straight away, please remember that you did NOTHING wrong, just because you lost your first baby it doesn’t mean that it’ll happen again. I waited for a period after my MC (which took 5 weeks) and am now ttc again.

Be kind to yourself, the miscarriage board on here is fantastic.

Thank you very much for all your kind words and advice - I really appreciate it and it’s very helpful.
Best wishes to you all.
