Miscarriage tips.

[Delilah7]

Hi ladies

I've just had my first ever pregnancy and first ever miscarriage I was 5 weeks. Feeling seriously shocked numb and in pain.

Me and OH are considering trying again but when is too soon? obviously I'm going to rest for a few weeks.

Any advise would be great.

I got pregnant with my rainbow baby straight away after my miscarriage you are more fertile around the time after a miscarriage

I had 2 early loses before having DS. I know ta really hard at the minute but try to stay positive. Early miscarriage is very common and it doesn’t mean you are more likely to have difficulty next time. Try again whenever you feel ready.

I got very maudlin after my missed miscarriage and drank a lot of vodka for a couple of months after, then got very healthy, lots of rest, loads of the right vitamins n five months later tried again for our rainbow baby, caught first try, turns out she's our only for a few different reasons. You never get over it but its like any bereavement no matter how early on you were x

Thank you ladies. So sorry you've had to go through this too.
I feel bad thinking I want to try again. I know it was only a little poppy seed in size but I still felt bonded. :(

So sorry for your loss, and it WAS a loss no matter how far along you were.

My first pregnancy also ended in a miscarriage back in April. I was supposed to be 12 weeks but a scan revealed an empty sac. I had to have an operation.

I'm now eight weeks pregnant with my rainbow baby. I'm still terrified things will go wrong, but trying to stay positive.

Take care of yourself

Never feel bad for wanting to try again so soon. After telling people after our loss I was really surprised by the number of freinds and family that had lost their first pregnancy, apparently its very very common.

So sorry for all your losses too.

Thank you for the advice. Defo feels a loss! :( lots of pain at the moment.

So sorry for your loss . The consultant told my DP and I to be kind to ourselves after our second missed miscarriage last year, that stuck with us. We hankered down in bed for a few days both times and binge watched Netflix. I cried a lot and he was there for me which helped.

As for TTC, we never bothered using protection afterwards and I was pregnant after two cycles both times. Currently 26 weeks with a healthy boy I never thought would happen. It can and it will. I wish you all the best.

I'm on my own and it's just happened. My other half has just gone to work so he literally just missed being there when it all came out. So hard to deal with when you're at home alone.

So sorry for your loss and sorry that you're alone whilst it is passing. It does get better, but right now it's perfectly ok and healthy to mourn your lost little bean. I am so sorry. We had an early loss in January and I was devastated, particularly in the 10 days or so of bleeding, I felt so empty. I am sorry you are going through this and hope it encourages you to hear that I am 22 weeks pregnant now. We waited a month before trying although the dr did say we could try again straight away. In all likelihood, you too will have a healthy pregnancy soon if that is what you want. Xx

@antipodeankat thank you so much for your post. Congratulations. Hope everything's well. I hope I will fall again this year but I just want to take some time for me right now xx
