Pregnant after a miscarriage

[Jellybelly20]

Hi,

I had a miscarriage about 9 months ago and I'm not pregnant again. Really scared that I will have another miscarriage.
Anyone have any reassuring stories ?

I don't have any experience jellybelly but I didn't want to read and run. It's understandable that you will have some anxiety but try to take each day as it comes as my fingers are crossed for you to have a smooth pregnancy.
Hopefully someone can come along with some positive experiences!

Hi, sorry to hear about your miscarriage but congratulations on your new pregnancy (I assume you meant you are "now" pregnant?). I had a miscarriage at 13 weeks, and 6 months later when I got pregnant again I was a nervous wreck! In the early days I kept checking for bleeding every time I went to the loo, and every scan I had a deep dread that something was going to go wrong. But everything was absolutely fine and I now have a beautiful little girl currently upstairs having her nap!
I know it's hard, but try to remember every pregnancy is a new pregnancy, and the chances of it being normal are much higher than another miscarriage. I found it got so much easier after my 20 week scan, the anxiety subsided and I started to enjoy being pregnant.
Sending positive thoughts!

Hi yes I am now pregnant. About 4 and a half weeks to be precise.
It's just really nerve wracking. I'm trying to act that I'm not pregnant but it's hard to ignore if that makes sense.
Feel the symptoms hit me harder this time then last time though.
Thank you for your kind words xx

Hi @Jellybelly20, so sorry to hear about your loss. I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks in October and I am around 10weeks pregnant now. I feel like I go between feeling like everything will be ok to being certain that I'll miscarry again. In my last pregnancy I miscarried a few days before my dating scan and I feel like if I can make it to my scan this time and everything is fine I'll feel a huge relief. For the time being I just keep thinking that each day that nothing has gone wrong is one day closer to then.

Hi @Jellybelly20, I had a missed miscarriage in middle October last year and now I am 10+1 weeks, I know how you feel, I am very anxious and forever checking toilet paper when I wipe and every little stomach pain I'm convinced it's something wrong. We had a reassurance scan on monday and baby was fine and had a good strong heartbeat, got my 12 week scan on the 7th and I'm so excited to see our baby again and to check everything's alright. I'd highly recommend those reassurance scans though its eased my worrying quite a bit. Hope everything goes well x

I had a miscarriage last april, was convinced I wouldnt be able to catch again. I caught within the next month and now I'm 39 weeks. It's easy to say dont worry but I think it's only natural to worry. It's not the same for everyone or ever pregnancy so just hold in there :)

Hey @Jellybelly20 I've had 3 MC's and I'm now 9 weeks pregnant. I've had some spotting so far in this pregnancy- as if I wasn't enough of a nervous wreck as it was! But I've had 2 scans and so far everything is going well. I try to remind myself that each pregnancy is different, thankfully this pregnancy will be consultant led, so that has eased my mind a little.

My only advice is try to just handle each day at a time and celebrate every little milestone.
On Friday I had my booking appointment, I've never made it to one before.

I'm always here if you need a chat, please be kind to yourself.

Thank you for your kind words. Technically my period was due between yesterday and tommorrow but took another pregnancy test and it's a very strong positive.
Got to convince myself to stop testing my bbt and taking pregnancy tests 🙈

@Jellybelly20 firstly congratulations on the new pregnancy. I had a miscarriage with my first pregnancy and fell again 6 months later she is currently sitting in her jumperoo. I know that it is a very anxious time but for me I took each day at a time, had mini milestones in my head but until I had my DD in my arms I never fully relaxed just became a little less anxious with each mini milestone reached.

Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy. There are a couple of groups on here that have people in the same position as you and are supporting each other through pregnancy after miscarriage. They helped me a lot and we had the mantra today I am pregnant to help the initial stages until scans etc.

@Jellybelly20

Congratulations on your pregnancy

Just wanted to give a positive story, I had a MMC and a chemical pregnancy followed by a successful one with no issues - ds is now 11

Wishing you luck

Thank you all for your kind replies. Although I think I'm miscarrying a second time.
Seemed to pass a very small pale pink clot when I wiped. This was the start of what happened last time too.
Thank you again though x

Hiya! Keep positive!
I had a miscarriage last summer and was absolutely heart broken by it! But was shocked that before I even got my next period I was pregnant again! Don't get to worried about thing positive and don't become obsessed with trying to fill the broken hole, stay happy and relaxed if you can and let nature take over all the best x

Oh sorry OP I read this as you wasn't pregnant yet!
Congratulations on the new pregnancy! I know it's hard to not be worried as I was exactly the same! Just make sure you look after yourself, and stay positive, I found that hard to as straight away I became pregnant but I just took everyday as it came and tried not to worry to much, and it did help me!
