Hope after a miscarriage

I lost our first baby in Jan after trying for three years, and to our amazement we caught again and I am now hopefully 6 weeks, I am so scared I will MC again, and I am just waiting for the same week for another MC to happen again, I feel traumatised, does anyone have any positive endings after a MC, I just feel like I will keep having them after having such bad luck for the last three years, I feel like this will never happen for us because its been so bloody hard to even get here!

Pregnancy after loss is really tough - and I'm so sorry for your previous loss πŸ’•

It's great that you've conceived again - and so soon! Try to focus on the positives. I know it's so hard, and nothing is going to take your anxieties away, but it's certainly possible to have a successful pregnancy after loss. In fact, recurring losses are pretty rare, and even then, most still go on to have a baby.

I unfortunately had 3 losses last year and couldn't believe I'd fallen into that 1-3% statistic and began to feel I just wasn't meant to have a second baby.. however, I'm currently 19+1 and hopefully all looking good this time. πŸ™πŸΌπŸŒˆ

Like SnookyPook above I also had three miscarriages in between my son and my current pregnancy. I'm now 32+1 :)

Wishing you the best of luck! I hope this is your sticky one!

I'm 13 weeks now, after a MC last summer. Your risk of having another MC isn't increased by having had one before. And remember there's nothing you can do about it. But it is scary! I had a scan at around 8 weeks which helped.

I’m also around 6 weeks pregnant again after a MC in November. I do know of 2 friends who had MCs beginning of last year - and both have now given birth to their rainbow babies. So I am using them as hope.

Wishing you lots of luck, I know exactly how you feel

I am sorry for your loss, sending you love πŸŒΊπŸ’“
I miscarried at 10w2days last November. Found out I was pregnant again in the end of January and I am now almost 11 weeks.
As previous people said, pregnancy after miscarriage is hard. It's a challenge to feel happy and exited, each approaching scan, or even each loo trip can be terrifying. I saw my little rainbow at 7w5days and could hardly believe it was real. 12 week scan is in 2 weeks and anxiety is real!
BUT, that being said, you need to keep positive and know that this is a different baby and a different pregnancy. Trust that your body is strong and capable of carrying a healthy baby. I meditate and do affirmations as often as I can. Some things are out of our control and all we can do is take the best possible care of ourselves and have faith that things will work out this time.
Wishing you all the luck and a healthy and happy pregnancy ❀
