Pregnant after missed miscarriage

13 replies

First time posting so please be gentle :)

We had a missed miscarriage at the start of the year, we went to the 12 week scan only to be told there was no heartbeat and the baby had only grew to 9 weeks so we opted to have the d&c. I can honestly say it was one of the worst moments in our lives...

Now we are finally pregnant again at 5 weeks but i am terrified it is going to happen again, i keep reading that two or more miscarriages in a row are very rare (like 2%) but i just have this feeling...

I really need to hear some success stories from people who have been in the same position please?

I’m sorry for your loss
I had a Mmc with surgical intervention at 12 weeks. I then got pg a week later before my periods returned so was basically pg for a whole year!
It was psychologically hard but she’s 13 now and awesome, I also have a 9 year old DS
Best of luck OP x

Totally understand what you mean! I'm currently on my third pregnancy after 2 losses one at 7 weeks and one at 14 mms but baby died at 9. Now 6+4 and petrified something is going to go wrong. All you can think and believe is this is a new pregnancy and try to relax xxx

I was sadly in the same position at the 12 week scan twice last year and needed two D&C’s so I know the pain that brings. I’m currently 34 weeks with a healthy little boy though so it can work out in the end and I hope it does for you .

Thankyou hope it works for us all. It's lovely to hear a positive story. I do feel more positive but there's still something in my head saying it won't work x

My first was a MMC and I had the ERPC. It was horrid. I understand the sense of disbelief that a pregnancy could end in an actual baby. My second pregnancy did. Good luck OP.

Im so sorry for your loss I’m 19 weeks pregnant after a MMC in April, I waited for my first period and conceived in the June. It has been and still is very nerve wracking, early reassurance scans helped me a lot, I had 2 at my hospital and paid for 2 privately. Congratulations on your pregnancy.

I had a missed miscarriage in autumn 2014 and had D&C plus a further op as they didn't get everything out first time (horrendous time generally). I got pregnant again a couple of months later and DS has just had his third birthday!! I was extremely apprehensive in early pregnancy and paid for an early private scan at 9 weeks, as couldn't bear to
Wait for the 12 week scan at my local hospital and have all those memories coming back. I know exactly what you are going through, but there are happy endings!

Like you say, you are much more likely to have a successful pregnancy than another miscarriage but those first few weeks before the scan are really worrying. Anyway, just checking in with another success story, DD2 is 6 now and was worth the wait. All the best for a lovely smooth pregnancy.

Thank you all for you positive replies, it really helps. We have been considering early scans so it's good to hear that it does help ease some worry I am so sorry to all of you for what you have each been through

You want positivity you've got it.... 5 miscarriages in a row, currently 25+2 with a keeper!
Feeling him kick every day reminds me of how lucky I am.
I don't know how many heartbreak losses we have to go through to finally get a keeper but best advice I can give is to stay positive, and keep on trying and trying again until you get a keeper. Because one of your pregnancies will be successful, I just can't say which unfortunately. Thinking of you.

I'm so so very sorry for your loss. I know it's a really tough time to go through. We had the same thing, actually turned out to be a molar pregnancy. Then got pregnant and had our lovely Odhran, he is now 18 months. It's hard not to worry. I'm 7 weeks now and worrying too. Sending positive vibes your way. Xx
