Pregnant again after 2 miscarriages

[Pinkandblue12]

Hi,

I am looking for some positive stories to help with worrying during early pregnancy.

Last year I suffered from 2 anembryonic pregnancies (also known as blighted ovums). Both miscarriages were only picked up during early scans and I continued to have all the pregnancy symptoms.

I am now pregnant again and can't help but worry that the same will happen again. Has anyone been in a similar situation and gone on to have a healthy pregnancy?

Hi congratulations and sorry for your previous losses.

I've suffered 2 losses previously not due to a blighted ovum though. I'm currently nearly 33 weeks and it seems to be third time lucky

The early days I was very anxious and booked private scans at 7 and 10 weeks before my 12 week nhs scan. Some people don't like them but they helped put my mind at rest

I hope all goes well for you

Congratulations on your pregnancy and thank you for your reply. It reassures me hearing positive stories.

I have an early scan with the NHS at 7.5 weeks because of my previous losses, so counting down the days until this. Crossing my fingers that it is third time lucky for me too!

Thanks again for sharing your experience.

You're welcome I hope everything goes well for you 😊

Hi OP. Congratulations on your pregnancy and I’m so sorry for your losses.

I’ve had 2 MMC’s in the last 6 months. I’m now 7 weeks pregnant and really hoping it’s a successful pregnancy although who knows?! On the positive side I’m having lots of sickness though and saw a heartbeat at my EPU scan this week, booked due to bleeding. They want me to come back in 2 weeks also to see if everything is progressing well. I’m glad as couldn’t wait until the 12 week scan to be told it’s another MMC.

I’m sorry I’m not answering your question as am not a success story (yet- fingers crossed!). But just wanted to let you know that you aren’t alone and that I understand the worry you must be feeling. Hugs and good luck with your early scan!

@May2021Mummy Also Congratulations on your pregnancy! It really is helpful and reassuring for me reading that you are now having your miracle baby after 2 losses

@WantingAnother thank you I hope everything goes well for you the first trimester is always the hardest after loss sending you lots of good vibes 🌈🌈🌈

Hi @WantingAnother thank you for your reply and congratulations on your pregnancy. Sounds really positive that you got to hear a heartbeat at your first scan - this has defo gave me some reassurance, thank you! Really hoping this is third time lucky for us both. Best of luck for your upcoming scans, the wait for them is just horrible!

In June and November I suffered miscarriages , unknown cause they seemed too be healthy pregnancies but just ended between 6-9 weeks. I am currently 17 weeks pregnant with identical twin boys and couldn't believe it when they told me, I froze and just didn't believe it untill it got real. I had a 10 week scan NHS for 'viability' (I'm diabetic) and then 12 week. I have now got too have scans regular but this is just down too identical twins. Honestly you will never not be scared as I am every day. But you
Will be ok and you will get your 🌈 you just have too believe❤️ good luck with your pregnancy mama

@nicole2398 Twins ... how amazing, congratulations ❤. I suffered my miscarriages in June and November as well last year. Thank you for sharing you story, this has gave me a little boost tonight that it is possible!

Thank you both. It’s such a worrying time Xx

Does the worry ever go I wonder? Like at what point do you relax and start to think maybe this pregnancy will result in a healthy baby this time? 12 weeks? 20 weeks? When baby is born? Right now I’m just expecting to miscarry again. It’s so hard

Wishing you all the best, OP. I had two MCs before a successful pregnancy (DD now 9 months old). I was sure there must be something very wrong after the second MC, but it's more common than you'd think. I was very open with my midwives about how nervous I was, and they were very good at telling me how unlikely it would be for things to go wrong after a positive 12 wk scan etc. I still worried, but just kept telling myself that there was a far, far greater chance that things would be fine. Once you feel the baby moving it can be more reassuring as well. Fingers crossed for you!

Congratulations 🌈

I had three miscarriages (not due to a blighted ovum) and am currently feeding my almost 9 week old baby :)

It's so hard being pregnant after miscarriage but great that you are having an early scan, it's so reassuring! Some things that helped me were taking tiny baby steps - I would say to myself, 'this hour, I am pregnant' which made the anxiety and constant knicker checking when going to the toilet seem more manageable. I also did a lot of yoga (Bettina Rae on YouTube has some great pregnancy after miscarriage specific videos).

Remember than symptoms can come and go so if you suddenly wake up and you no longer have sore boobs don't panic!

Fingers crossed for you

Sorry @CocoandCleo and @SearchingTheSkies I am only just seeing the comments you left. Thank you for some reassurance and congratulations on your babies ❤. It really is more common than I first thought having 2 or more miscarriages. I hope this time all goes well for me like has happened with both of you 🤞🏻. X

I had two miscarriages before having my daughter (now age 6), and I was really anxious during my pregnancy with her as a result. It is a stressful and worrying time! Best wishes for your pregnancy

I've only found out last week that I am pregnant again after 2 mc's, last one only in February, am so so nervous and to top it off I turned 43 last month so extra worry!
