Hi all

We have been through 2 miscarriages this year and have found out we are pregnant again 😄
We are both thrilled to be expecting but I can’t stop thinking that I will miscarry again. Has anyone been in a similar position and been 3rd time lucky? X

I’m 15 weeks and hoping this is 4th time lucky... good luck!!

Dancer31 · 15/08/2018 18:50

Thank you.
Fingers crossed for you. X

How early were your mc? Can you have an early scan?

MarmiteTermite · 15/08/2018 18:52

Yes it was lucky third (and fourth) time for me - hope the same for you Flowers

Dancer31 · 15/08/2018 18:52

They were both 6 weeks.
I have an early scan booked for next week when I should be 7 weeks. My EPAU were very good in letting me have an early scan. X

I had 2 MMC's and found out I was pregnant again a few month ago, I'm now 22+2 weeks pregnant with a healthy little girl, I was so convinced that things where going to go wrong again, but it seems I was so wrong, fingers crossed for you!! SmileFlowers

TheMotherofBears · 15/08/2018 18:55

Yes! Currently bfing my little one born after two miscarriages. The terror of losing the pregnancy didn't go away but it did ease. I tried to follow the advice that you shouldn't let a miscarriage steal the joy from a subsequent pregnancy. Not sure I managed that tbh but good luck to you op. Really hope this is your take home baby Flowers

thisismadness77 · 15/08/2018 18:57

My three were all at six weeks but the last two I only found out at a 12 week scan. This time I had a scan at 6.5, 9, 11 then the regular 12 week one. Sonographer said 6 week mc are usually just not viable ie duff egg or genetic issue. I’m hoping having had a normal 12 week scan that everything is still going fine, but I doubt I’ll last till 20 week scan, I’m going to ask at 17 weeks. I can’t help but feel fatalistic about it. Mc really does steal the joy from pregnancy!

Thank you for all your reassurance. Trying to be positive, but it’s so easy to let your mind think the worse.
It’s comforting to hear of your success’ after miscarriages.
Thank you. X

Hi, congratulations! Wish you all the best Smile
Five years ago now, I had a MMC at 10 weeks and had an ERPC in May. Then a CP in July. Then found out following Jan that I was expecting again. Had my son following Sept.

pompomcat · 15/08/2018 19:42

Hi OP. One of my besties has a beautiful baby girl after two miscarriages (both prior to 12w)-thinking of you and good luck x

Dancer31 · 15/08/2018 20:11

Congratulations Flowers. I had a MMC in May last year and another in November. Both beyond heartbreaking. I’m now 28+3 with a healthy little boy so it was definitely third time lucky for me Smile. Hope it is for you too.

Embobolina88 · 16/08/2018 08:41

Congratulations! I had one healthy pregnancy followed by mc at 11 weeks and blighted ovum at 9. I’m now 9+3. Midwife sent me for reassurance scan last week and all looked well! I’m just starting to let my guard down and enjoy this pregnancy though don’t think I will until I get well past the 12 week scan!

Congratulations and all the best of luck, try and stay positive and remember the odds are in your favour xxxx

TheCag · 16/08/2018 10:04

I had two 1st trimester miscarriages last year and am now 20 weeks pregnant.

I had massively more symptoms this time around which did reassure me but until I passed 12 weeks I was obviously nervous. At the 12 week scan the sonographer said she remembered me from the EPU.

All the best this time around, as the pp says, the odds are in your favour.

Dancer31 · 16/08/2018 19:40

Thank you.
I definitely have more symptoms this time round which is helping me to stay positive.
I have an early scan next Friday so I’m hoping to see a heartbeat.
Keep taking clearblue digital tests which is such a waste of monday but was so pleased today as I have gone from 1-2 weeks to 2-3 weeks.
Thank you all. X

I had the same am pregnant now 1-2
Weeks am absolutely terrified I got this today sorry if it’s gross but scared of misscarrage

2 miscarriages this year and pregnant again. Very nervous
Emmafh3 · 23/08/2018 20:54

Two miscarriages this year as well. On my fourth pregnancy now and all is well.
I had 0 symptoms this time around until about 8 weeks where I wanted to nap and that stopped at 12 weeks.
Good luck

Dancer31 · 23/08/2018 22:45

Can you get an early scan at all? Were I am if you have 2 miscarriages you are scanned early for your next one.

I have my fingers crossed for you.

JaneY28 · 24/08/2018 12:27

Just came from hospital said my hcg is 400 but too early too see anything so have to hav another blood test see if hcg has increased so scared scan didn’t say anything but said uterus is thick everything looks healthy they keep Saying a miscarriage can happen but they’ll keep an eye on it so thank u all so much xxx

Dancer31 · 24/08/2018 13:24

That’s good news. Keep positive! 400HCG sounds good for 1-2 weeks, I was only 130ish when I was that far gone last time.

We have just had our scan and a little heart beat was found. Still very early days, they think I’m 6 weeks so plenty of rest to try and get myself to the magical 12 week mark. X

SaturdaySauv · 24/08/2018 14:22

That’s great Dancer! Do your dates match theirs? Mind you, easy to be a few days behind if you ovulated late etc.

Dancer31 · 24/08/2018 17:20

Thank you so much.
They are saying 6 weeks and I would say 6-7 weeks so maybe a couple of days out but not letting that stress me out now.
It’s the furthest we have ever got so for us it’s really positive to just see a heartbeat xx
