Positive stories after recurrent miscarriages please

[Kittyb22]

Hi Everyone, I've just found out I'm pregnant again having had 2 miscarriages and a chemical pregnancy over the last 5 months (having tried to conceive for 2 years). I hate to admit it but i feel too scared to truly feel happy/hopeful and am driving myself mad checking whether I'm bleeding or not. I have a scan next Wednesday (6w) at the EPU and am just focused on the hope that there will be something viable for them to see.. and then hopefully they'll support my pregnancy if I was to start bleeding. It's so hard as I feel so alone & feel awkward talking to my partner about how I'm feeling as he just tells me to "stop worrying". This would be my first child.. I am 41, soon to be 42 and would love to hear some positive rainbow baby stories please, especially from ladies of a similar age to me! Thanks everyone, sending baby dust to everyone who would like some 😊

@Kittyb22 sorry for the delay - I’ve just read your update! What lovely news! 😊 So happy that everything is going well and thank you so much for sharing the happy update. It really does give me hope. Oh and I can completely understand what you mean when you say you can’t fully relax until baby has arrived, I think going through miscarriages can leave you feeling very anxious. I’d definilty be the same. But it really does sound like it’s all going well for you and I look forward to reading your update when baby has arrived ❤️ Wishing you all the best and hope these next few weeks go quickly for you x

And congratulations @showmethegin ❤️ I’m so sorry for your losses and that you had to go through such a long wait to get your baby. But it’s so nice to hear happy outcomes, gives me hope I’ll hold my own baby one day too.

Three miscarriages then a little girl then another miscarriage then just started ivf then conceived naturally and another girl. I was 38 then. Girls are 23 and 17 now.

Thought i'd drop in here and leave a wee update, just incase anyone reading this thread needs a positive outcome. I'm writing this post whilst feeding my 7 month year old daughter her breakfast of half a weetabix and half a banana. She came bounding into our lives back in November (I was 42!). Dreams do come true. I can't say I relaxed at any point during my pregnancy and not even when I held her in my arms.. I'm only just really believing she's truly here now! (Hence this post!). So.. just wanted you all to know that positive outcomes are possible.. the road may not be the easiest but don't give up hope. 🌈

@Kittyb22 this is lovely news for you… can I please ask did you end up taking the aspirin with your daughters pregnancy? Thank you x

@Blueskies4 Great to hear from you, yes I was given a low dosage of Aspirin for the first few months of my pregnancy. (Wasn't given it before I got pregnant). Hope that helps you 😊

@Kittyb22 lovely, thank you for coming back.. I’ve been given the same so it’s a good to know :)

Wishing you all the best @Blueskies4 😊

I had recurrent miscarriages and went private. They prescribed low dose asprin and progesterone. I now have two primary aged children. There is hope ❤️

@SENparenting thank you lovely, glad you got your babies x
