Positive stories of a successful pregnancy after miscarriage

[acupofteamakeseverythingbetter]

Hi ladies,

I recently had a miscarriage at 7 weeks with my first pregnancy which was devastating having seen the heartbeat. I’m currently waiting for my first period to return before we can start trying again.

Obviously I’m not helping myself by reading things online 🙄 and it can be easy to only look at the negatives.

I’m having a down day today and my mental health isn’t too great so I’d be grateful if this thread could be full of positive stories to help give me a little bit of hope that one day everything will be ok and I’ll have a successful pregnancy soon ❤️ Thank you x

I've had 5 pregnancies and have 2 babies, and currently 36 weeks pregnant.

One miscarriage doesn't mean you're more likely to miscarry again.
Many women have 1 miscarriage and then go on to have many children without another miscarriage.

Good luck ❤️

Sorry for your loss. I had one miscarriage at about 7 weeks too, had one normal period, then got pregnant the very next cycle. All went well that time although I was very anxious before every scan. I think I read on here that sometimes a miscarriage can mean you're extra fertile for a while so hopefully you will get pregnant again very soon.

1 miscarriage and 3 kids now!

Sorry for your loss. I had a mmc in 2019 and it was the worst time of my life.

I fell pregnant again 8 months after my surgical management and I'm now watching my almost 6 month old daughter on the monitor as she has a nap.

Agree with last poster. Most pregnancies are successful. That is still true after MC - far more are successful than not. MC is sadly very common in 1st trimester and you have been one of the unlucky people to be affected. I've had 2 early losses with no children and I know how difficult it is when it's your first and when you've seen a healthy heartbeat. I'm now 36 weeks with my third pregnancy and everything seems fine. You know you can get pregnant and that's the first big hurdle. Good luck and hang in there - the odds really are in your favour even if it doesn't feel like it right now.

Hi OP,

I had two miscarriages in a row and I was distraught. I know exactly how you feel, the grief and feeling of loss is incredible.

I got pregnant again shortly after the second mc and my DD is now 9 months.

Unfortunately miscarriages are extremely common, but do not lose hope. Sending you hugs

I lost a pregnancy at 11 weeks. Miscarried at home.

Didn't wait for a period (naughty me, but my husband and I wanted to be close and seemed silly to use a condom)

My DD is now 8. Pregnancy was fine. X

If I'd have had a D&C I would've waited though.

Thanks everyone, I’ve also heard that you’re more fertile just after having a miscarriage which I guess is the silver lining and I’m hoping that we will be lucky enough to fall pregnant soon. Having been together for 10 years and unfortunately having our wedding postponed twice due to COVID we were so ready for this baby, the pregnancy really felt like a ray of sunshine through such dark times but sadly that wasn’t meant to be xx

So sorry for your loss.
I had two miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy before I had my rainbow baby in 2019. Have had another two miscarriages since her birth and sadly (waiting for confirmation on a further miscarriage as we speak) but I’m not giving up. It’s completely heartbreaking and such an emotional journey but don’t give up hope it will happen. Xx

I fell pregnant on my first cycle when ttc but miscarried.
It then took us 7 months of actively trying to get a bfp. But so far so good. 36 weeks now.
So i wouldn't say that the being more fertile after mc wad true for me, but eventually it does happen!
Good luck on your journey x

I'm so sorry for your loss. I had a miscarriage last year, had a period, and then got pregnant again the next cycle. I'm now 20 weeks. The early stages were hard because I was certain it would happen again but so far everything is going well. Most women go on to have a successful pregnancy after a miscarriage, it's rare for there to be ongoing issues. I know it's hard but try and stay positive, it will get better
