Pregnancy after 16 week loss

[bottleofvodka]

Hi all,

I know there is a thread for pregnancy after loss but that seems to be mainly ladies in early pregnancy. My situation is slightly different.

I am 14 weeks pregnant today, my 5th pregnancy. I have a 26 weeker who is now doing fantastically (hes now 4) and had 3 losses since, a missed miscarriage at 8 weeks, a 16 week loss and a 5 week loss. So here I am, pregnant again. This is my last pregnancy no matter what happens, I dont think I can do this again. I desperately want a sibling for my little man.

so this pregnancy is complicated. I have an Incompetent Cervix and had a cerclage placed at 11 weeks. Also get Gestational Diabetes early in all my pregnancies and am on insulin since 5 weeks pregnant. Ive been signed off work from 6 weeks and wont be going back until after my maternity leave (hopefully). we lost our boy last year which has been unexplained. He was prefect genetically.

So my anxiety has been through the roof. I am finding it hard to sleep, I am so afraid that I will lose this baby. usually people relax in the second trimester but I cant. I dont think I will relax until I have my baby in my arms, which brings a new set of worries. I would love to have my baby and the 2 of us go home together. Has anyone any words of wisdom because I am so stressed right now. I have been scanned loads and everything looks great, but it also looked great on my last pregnancy.

Hello OP, I have no words of wisdom but just to say take each day as it comes. Sorry for your previous losses it's heart breaking.

I'm wishing you the very best of luck with this little bundle and hope he/she reaches you happy and healthy 💕 💕

Hiya didnt want to read and run

I havent any words of wisdom sorry but just letting you know your not alone, I'm also having a complicated pregnancy (lost one of my twins then horrendous bleed told I had lost the other one at 16weeks but by some mircale baby is still here) so I can fully understand your worries , I also can't relax and every little thing worries me,
All I can say is just take one day at a time xx

Hi, I have also had three miscarriages and one lost at 13 weeks so earlier than yours although I didn't find out until 16 weeks. Unlike you mine were all unexplained. I'm now in my 5th pregnancy and am nearly in the 3rd trimester. I was at my most nervous and stressed between 12 and 20 weeks. Honestly what has helped me is keeping busy and I've calmed down massively how I can feel regular, strong movements. Hold on in there as it gets easier xx
