Positive Pregnancy After Loss Stories Please :)

[SunDance21]

Hello! I'm pregnant after 2 MC's and 1 CP. I'm really trying to get myself into a good headspace rather than constantly thinking the worst is going to happen.

I'd really love to hear some positive stories of people who have been successful in my position 😊❤️

Thank you in advance

Hi @SunDance21, congratulations on your pregnancy.

We're just giving your thread a bump - hopefully some Mumsnetters will be along soon to share their positive stories with you.

Hey congratulations! I'm nearly 16 weeks pregnant after 4mcs 🙂 I've found that investigating what was wrong... Plus taking progestrone, vitamin D and low dose aspirin worked for me.

It's tough being pregnant after loss and the best advice I can give you is to get regular scans, so you get the reassurance in the early weeks xxx

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I had three miscarriages and then last summer gave birth to my gorgeous healthy baby boy.
Pregnancy after loss is really hard, and opens your eyes to the fact that not every pregnancy makes it. But I was in a group on here with quite a few people in the same situation and that was a real help.
I took low dose aspirin after finding out I was pregnant on the advice of the recurrent miscarriage clinic although I can’t be sure that’s what helped. Mentally it helped to be ‘doing something’. I also had lots of scans through the nhs because of the recurrent miscarriages and then later because his femurs were small at the 20 week scan (he’s just got little legs like me!).
Good luck x

Hello, congratulations on your pregnancy. I had a chemical last year, the next month I got pregnant again. I Couldn't believe it. I'm now nearly 31 weeks, I didn't take anything other then pregnacare like my midwife asked me. If your worried talk to your midwife, they really do help, and see lots of people that this has happened to, congratulations again ♥️

Hello,
Big congrats! Pregnancy after loss is extremely hard. Try to take it day by day and focus on the small positives and each hurdle as it comes.

Our baby is 2 weeks old, this time last year i was going through an ectopic pregnancy. Then followed by another loss. This pregnancy felt fraught to me and stressful but now baby is here I'm so happy. It was worth all the stress and worry to get to this point. Focus on unit happy ending and you will get there.

Hi OP, I had five losses in a row and then a lovely straightforward pregnancy. My little boy was born in April and I already want another one.

@SunDance21 we were TTC from 2016. Had a CP in Feb 2019 then 2 MCs 2020. DS was born in April 2021. The pregnancy was full of anxiety but actually completely normal. Extra scans and (after 16wks) midwife apps to hear baby's heartbeat really helped me manage my anxiety.

2 MMCs, 1 MC and 4 chemicals for us. And after almost 4 years we will be welcoming our little one in 5 weeks time after a very straightforward pregnancy. I’m 42 now too so time was definitely not on our side.

I read ‘It starts with the egg’ by Rebecca Fett as given my age and the fact that two of the miscarriages were trisomy related I was sure that there were egg quality issues going on. I also saw a fertility consultant after IVF didn’t work for us and we did TSI cycles supplemented with Oestrogen, Aspirin and Progesterone which resulted in us having this little one.

I have one. Dd1 had a severe genetic condition and died in 2019. I had twins in 2020, totally healthy. MC last year and now 12 weeks with (hopefully) a healthy pregnancy. You can allow yourself to believe it will be ok this time :)

Congratulations!! Keeping everything crossed for you x 🤞🤞

Hi! Currently nearly 25 weeks with a baby girl after having a MMC March 2020 then MC in may. I have barely had any symptoms in this pregnancy at all, no sickness which made me so worried.

I recommend the book "pregnancy after loss" and it really helped me during the difficult times & take each day at a time. It's ok to feel worried, scared & not excited. I kept trying to tell myself "today I'm pregnant", and trying to think I had no reason to doubt that. Very difficult having experienced a MMC but all I could do.

Thank you so much everyone. It's really reassuring to read some positive stories. Trying to keep my mind set positive but feeling every twinge!

I'm with a fertility clinic so on progesterone, aspirin and steroids. Just telling myself I'm doing everything I can ❤️
