Happy ending stories

[BabyDust13]

I've just found out I'm 5 weeks pregnant. It will be my third pregnancy this year and I'm trying to remain calm and positive but I'm such a worrier after my previous 2 losses.

I'm taking folic acid and have been most the year and I've started vitamin D which I previously wasn't taking

I literally have everything crossed that it's third time lucky and I'm trying to take each day as it comes and go with the flow. I realise there isn't much else I can do apart from trust that my body knows what it's doing

I did think about taking low dose aspirin but decided against it as if something does go wrong I didn't want to always be thinking was it because of the aspirin

We're going to book an early scan for 7/8 weeks but it seems like ages away (even though it isn't)

I don't really know the point of the post it's just nice to know other people have been through the same thing and had their happy ending

It must be my turn now 🥰

Hi, I'm so sorry to hear about your losses. My friend had two losses and went on to have a healthy baby girl who is now 3. My husband's mum had three losses before having my husband and his brother. My mum also had two losses, one before me and one after. Miscarriage is sadly very common (not to minimise your experience) and most women go on to have babies.

I was very anxious in my first few weeks and had private scans at 7 and 8 weeks. To be honest I'm not sure if they helped, because as soon as I left the scans I was anxious again. It just took time, and I'm now much much less anxious. I'm 21 weeks and feeling the baby kick is constantly reassuring.

Fingers crossed for you.

All my fingers are crossed for you ❤️ try not to worry, take one day at a time! That's exactly what I'm doing. I had a two week wait till my next scan (1 week down, 1 week to go) it is the longest and painful wait lol. I'm 5 weeks too! Good luck xx

I'm so sorry about your losses

We (hopefully) have our happy ending Rainbow baby due in November.

2016 - MMC at 9 weeks
2016 - spontaneous MC at 4/5 weeks
2018 - MMC at 9 weeks
2020 - (3rd Jan) MMC at 9 weeks (after taking progesterone AND low dose aspirin.
2020 - March - miraculously got pregnant after actively avoiding pregnancy AND taking the MAP! We really didn't want to experience the pain of loss yet again. At 7 weeks I had a HUGE bleed with gigantic clots and we assumed we'd lost our 5th baby. Started the grieving process all over again. A few days later I had a scan to check there was nothing still remaining as the bleeding stopped very suddenly - I thought I'd need surgery. Lo and behold there was a little baby in there with a heartbeat. Started taking progesterone as advised by my consultant.
I had 2 more large bleeds which turned out to be a sub chorionic haematoma. I am now 31 weeks pregnant with a very wriggly baby!

I wish you so much luck. TTC and pregnancy is such an emotional rollercoaster!
