Pregnant again after molar - reassurance?

[AnotherStory23]

I got pregnant this year for the first time but unfortunately it was molar. I'm now pregnant again, just 4 + 3 and though I'm really trying to stay calm I can't help but worry that this will be another molar. I have an early scan in two weeks to check to make sure it's a regular pregnancy, but I was wondering in the meantime if anyone who has gone through the same thing has any reassuring words?

I'm sorry for your recent loss. I haven't had a molar pregnancy myseelf but know someone who did with her first pregnancy. She went on to have five successful pregnancies afterwards.

Likewise, I have a friend who had a molar pregnancy and then two healthy children. Wishing you all the best OP

My friend had a molar pregnancy followed by 2 very healthy pregnancies. She's now a happy mum of two. All the best to you.

Hi, I had a molar about 4 years ago. I felt the same when I got pregnant again.
I had an early scan and they could see the baby and a heartbeat at about 6w.
I was really anxious early in pregnancy but everything was fine. Iv got healthy 1 year old now.

I really think a molar is crazy bad luck. I hope this time is better luck for you 😊

@helloimnew123 Thank you so much for your response, so so glad to hear everything went well for you. I know it is likely to be fine, it's just hard when you've already had a rare thing happen to not think you could end up being in that small percentage who have it happen again!

Thank you to all others who responded too, very glad to hear that it worked out for your friends

@AnotherStory23
I completely understand how you feel. I was very stressed and anxious when I got pregnant again. It's hard not to think the worst.

I know there is more of a chance of it happening again once you'v had 1. But I think the odds are still very low.

Not long until your first scan. From there they can tell you if it's all good. X

@helloimnew123 Yes you are totally right, the odds are low. I really have been trying to keep calm, but it's just got a bit more to me today. Not long and then I'll know what's going on in there!

bumping incase anyone else has any experiences with this!

bumping again, just in case

My friend also had a molar first pregnancy and went on to conceive a healthy little boy no issues. I hope all goes well, I'm sure it well x x

Thank you for replying @myratlyr, very kind of you

Wanted to post an update in case it helps anyone else: had my scan today and saw a little heartbeat. Never thought I'd see that! For anyone else who has had a molar, stay strong, there is light at the end of the tunnel

Brilliant news @AnotherStory23! wishing you all the best.

@AnotherStory23 this is fabulous news! I’ve just come across this post as I’ve found out I’m pregnant again following a partial molar and am also nervous! So this has brought me a bit of peace ❤️
did you have extra scans on NHS or were they private?
hope everything is still going well!

@PinkOshen Congratulations! Yes my local EPU offered me two earlier scans, one at 6+4 and one at 9+4. How far along are you? I'm now 23+6 weeks

Oh fantastic! I am so so pleased for you! I am only 4+1 currently, so going to contact the local midwife service soon and let them know - you’ve definitely made me calmer so thank you very much

Oh I'm so pleased to hear that - this is exactly why I wanted to post a positive update! Yes, I was told to just call them once I was pregnant again and they would scan me. They were super understanding and were very willing to scan me more than once. Best of luck! I'm sure you'll be fine
