Pregnancy after miscarriage

[Rasgar]

Hi all, I had a miscarriage at around 5 weeks in March, I am no pregnant again around 4 weeks, has anyone had a successful pregnancy after miscarriage? How do you cope with the worry of losing again

Hiya, I had two miscarriages last year, one at 8 weeks and a blighted ovum that was discovered at 10 weeks. I am now 29+3 with our little girl and everything is going perfectly so far. I’ll be honest, the first 12 weeks were hard. Personally, I went for two early scans at 6 and 9 weeks (a luxury that we luckily were able to afford, as my local EPU would only scan me if I was bleeding or if I had had 3 previous MCs). These were really reassuring for me. Other than that, I found having a little moment each night as I went to bed, acknowledging another day passing successfully, was helpful. I also felt dreadful (sick and utterly exhausted) for the first 12 weeks which I hadn’t done previously, so that was oddly reassuring. It got slightly easier after my successful 12 week scan, and then again after the 20 week scan. Noting the milestones as you go is a really good thing to do. Also, if you have a good friend or family member that you can tell early on, it really helps to have someone there to talk to. For me, it was my mum and my best friend at work. Obviously my husband knew as well but he was just as anxious as me, bless him! Congratulations and I’m wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy

Hi, I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks in January and am now 16 weeks pregnant. I thought I was going to be far more anxious than I actually have been. (I think the constant nausea and vomitting for the first 14 weeks was a good distraction though!) I must admit though everytime I went to the loo to start with I was half expecting to see blood, but confidence comes as times passes.

The time I have felt most anxious so far, which I really wasn't expecting, was as my 12 week scan approached, I had one day of feeling like a stressed mess. The way I try to think of it is, there is absolutely nothing I can do in regards to how to pregnancy progresses so I just try to stay positive and I honestly just feel thankful for every day that I am now pregnant, I know that sounds so cheesy!

Congratulations on the pregnancy and just remember so so many people miscarry and then go onto to have healthy pregnancies ♥️

Hi OP. I'm in a similar position- had a chemical pregnancy in March and now 4 weeks pregnant again. I also had a 7 week miscarriage in August last year. I'm trying to just take a day at a time and distract myself. I can't be much help but wanted you to know you aren't alone.

I miscarried in December '18 at 6 week. I'm now 16 weeks pregnant and if I'm honest I've found the anxiety pretty unbearable. I've tried to rationalise but I'm still finding myself in a constant cycle of worry. The only thing that has helped me is trusting my body and fate but it's easier said then done. Personally, I've had quite a few extra scans due to worries I've had and we've paid privately to have more. Whatever makes it easier for you, just go with it.

I had a MMC at 12 weeks May 2019 and fell pregnant again August 2019 and now have a healthy little boy.

It is going to be hard keeping the anxiety at bay and it's only natural to be anxious. I had Cognitive behavioral therapy and phone therapy after my MMC and had to train myself to counter my negative thoughts with more positive thoughts. It was difficult but it started to work. Other than that, I threw myself into work to occupy my mind and kept myself as physically healthy as I could.

Good luck OP
