Positive stories after miscarriage in your 40s?

[Username2019]

Hi everyone, just got the heartbreaking news of miscarriage at 11 weeks and 3 days. I’m almost 41 yo and I have a DD who is 16 months. We desperately want another baby, but time is running out for a natural conception.

Any positive stories that you’d like to share? x

By positive story I mean you had a healthy pregnancy/baby after having miscarried in your 40s

I'm so sorry
I had a miscarriage at 40, at a similar stage to yours, and now at 46 I have a wonderful 5-year old DD, conceived naturally exactly one year after the MC (it was my last cycle before starting fertility treatment).

@mothsgotmycashmere Congratulation! That’s very positive indeed.

I had a miscarriage at 10 weeks and 5 days :( Around Easter last year) and now 32 weeks pregnant at the grand old age of 44....all well so far and actually not too bad a pregnancy either - feeling fine.

It can absolutely happen. Wishing you all the very best

@TequilaMockingburd congratulations and all the very best with your pregnancy! x

Have you done anything different with regards to your diet/lifestyle etc etc?

I’m constantly tired as my DD is keeping me on my toes and I had to deal with some nasty illnesses she’d had this winter, I wonder if all this stress had an impact at all.

I’ve not done anything differently this time to the last time, but I was definitely more anxious with this pregnancy knowing all the stuff that can go wrong, getting to 3 months felt like an absolute eternity with plenty of tears along the way.

A lovely midwife told me that each pregnancy was unique and not to be judged against previous pregnancy and those words resonated with me well.

It’s a rough process though and I really wish you well in your current recovery and with your future journey. 🌻

So sorry to hear about your loss. I lost a baby at 14 weeks when I was 43 and am currently typing this while breastfeeding my 6 month old who I had at 44. It is possible! All the very best

Hi, your story is so positive, how long did it takevyou to conceive.... And were you taking any supplements eating a special diet, exercises etc..... Thank you

@Username2019 hi

@Peacefullythoughtful how long did it take you to conceive....

Hi
I hope you are ok. Trying to conceive can be such a stressful time. After my miscarriage it took about 6 months. I really hope it works out for you
