Pregnancy after late miscarriage. Scared I’ve worked out the reason and that it’s about to happen again.

Miscarriage at 17+5 earlier in the year, still waiting for post mortem results

Currently 12+3, so far so good, but was last time at this stage. I’m terrified to be honest. I am constantly racking my brain trying to figure out what went wrong. I was in bed last night and suddenly thought about B12. I am deficient and had 12 weekly B12 jabs for years including throughout my first pregnancy which resulted in a healthy baby. I moved house 12 months ago and changed doctors and have been battling to have them restarted and to be honest when I lost my son earlier in the year I stopped chasing it. It just stopped being a priority.

So I had been off my jabs for months before falling pregnant last time, so my B12 defiency has been untreated now throughout two pregnancies. I fell into a Google hole all night and found some articles, some studies, some circumstantial posts regarding a possible link between this and miscarriage. I just feel petrified now that it’s about to happen again and it was preventable last time and could of been again if this baby dies too.

Ive rang my midwife who is going to look into my blood results and speak to the consultant. I’m just freaking out now. I don’t know why I’m posting but if anyone has any knowledge on this please share. I don’t want to go through it all again

I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. It’s never happened to me but have been there with the anxiety and what if’s during pregnancy. Hopefully your bloods will show up ok or if needed they can start you on treatment ASAP.

Sending hopefulness to you and your little baby!

I feel like it’s too late for enough B12 to make a difference to the baby if that is what it was. I’m trying so hard not to stress but I’m constantly trying to work out what went wrong last time so I can make sure it doesn’t go wrong this time and it’s exhausting. I’m too scared to use a hot water bottle, have a bath, take my cyclizine, anything that I did lots last time. I just wish I had some answers so I could try and trust my body

Anyone else had this or similar?

@nofaith sorry I can’t offer you any advice, but just to say I hope that everything is going well x

I’m b12 deficient and failed to have my jabs through most of the first part of this pregnancy. I’ve been preoccupied as this pregnancy was such a long time coming. I’m 36 weeks today, so being very b12 deficient hasn’t impacted in any catastrophic way. Hope that gives some reassurance. Pregnancy after loss is so scary xx
