Three consecutive pregnancies in 6 months

[VanillaOat]

I don’t really know why I’m posting, I guess I just want some sort of reassurance or advice..

I’m currently around 7.5 weeks into my third consecutive pregnancy in 6 months, with no periods in between. The first pregnancy was a MMC/blighted ovum (unsure whether baby ever developed) and the second was a loss at I’d guess 5 weeks, immediately after. I then fell pregnant immediately after again.

I feel so blessed to have caught straight anyway again, however I am truly convinced that I will lose this baby too. I had fairly strong symptoms to begin with at around 6 weeks and I even saw a heartbeat at 6.5 weeks, however all symptoms have now totally subsided and yesterday I had a small bit of brown mucus on wiping.

I can’t help but think this is all over for me again and I really can’t see how I’ll get through yet another consecutive loss. This will be my first baby and I’m 29 years old.

Does anybody have any reassuring stories or words of advice? I have a 9 weeks scan booked next week due to my ‘history’.

Thanks

So sorry to hear what you’ve been through! My experience was slightly similar so thought I would share. I had an MMC at 11 weeks in April last year and fell pregnant the month after. Like you I was convinced it would go wrong again. I had brown spotting at 5 weeks and then again at 10 weeks through to 16 weeks. I also had very fluctuating symptoms. Everything was fine and I now have a month old baby boy!

I wish you all the very best and hope everything goes perfectly for you xx

I’m so sorry for your losses. I had 3 BFP’s 3 cycles in a row. The first 2 were early miscarriages at 5-6 weeks and I’m now 14+1 weeks. So far everything is going well as far as I’m aware. I had my 12 week scan at 12+4 and it was lovely. I also had a private early scan at 9 weeks to make sure the pregnancy was viable after my 2 early losses and that was amazing. I’m constantly worried about something going wrong but feeling like I’m taking it week by week now instead of day by day. The 12 week scan helped loads. I’ll try to have another private scan at 17/18 weeks as not got my 20 week nhs one until 20+5 weeks.

I hope things work out for you 😊
