Miscarriage followed by a missed miscarriage

[Rainbowflower2024]

Hi everyone,
I had a miscarriage November 2023 and then a missed miscarriage in May 2024. Has anyone had a successful pregnancy after experiencing similar?

@Rainbowflower2024 Very well. Everyone was extremely kind and it was over before I knew it. Very minimal pain or bleeding afterwards and they signed me off from work for two weeks which was mentally very helpful.

Ok that’s good to know. Mine is tomorrow and I’m worried about scarring that will affect future pregnancies. Did the actual operation take long?

@Rainbowflower2024 I think it's about 30 minutes. I was worried about scarring too but I think that's quite a rare complication.

I have just had my surgical and it went smoothly. Just recovering now and staying positive!

@Rainbowflower2024 I'm glad it went well! I hope you recover quickly and get your sticky baby soon ❤️

Yes, I'm feeding him now.

@Rainbowflower2024 hope you have a quick recovery. Glad to hear it went well. Mind yourself the next few days your hormones really can be shot and you might feel a bit all over the place.

I had three losses last year - a MMC in April, a CP early Sept and a MC at 7wks end of Oct. I unexpectedly fell pregnant again straight after the last loss (wasn't tracking and intended to wait for my referral to fertility consultant to come through before trying again) - will be 29wks pregnant on Monday and finally feeling brave enough to make a start on the nursery etc!

So sorry for your losses (and others on the thread currently in the midst of this) - it is such a tough thing to go through. I can't quite believe that this time last year I was grieving my MMC and had no idea I still had two further losses to go through before the year was done... And yet, here I am, one year on and everything looks very different.

Wishing you a speedy physical recovery and lots of luck for your rainbow bean when you're ready to try again 🙏🏼🌈💕

I did but the other way around missed miscarriage followed by a miscarriage. Took 3 years in total but I did eventually have a full term pregnancy and a healthy baby but needed intervention. 3rd time lucky possibly but I do believe it wouldn't of happened if it wasn't for being referred to the right people.

@TheBirdintheCave @pontipinemum did you both recover well from surgical? I have been having what feels like very strong period cramps and last night I passed a large clot. The cramps calmed down this morning and have come back this afternoon.

I am so sorry. Quite a few years ago now I had a stillbirth at 31 weeks followed by a miscarriage at 11 weeks and then a second miscarriage at 11 weeks. I then got pregnant again successfully and my daughter is healthy. There is always hope. Wishing you lots of luck.

@Rainbowflower2024 Yes I had very little bleeding or pain afterwards. Sorry to hear your recovery hasn't been as smooth :( Did the hospital give you a contact in case of complications?

So sorry for your losses

I had a MMC with medical treatment in may 2021 ( loss was around 5/6 weeks) identified with an early scan at week 7

I had another MMC in September 2021 (loss around 9 weeks, identified from bleeding and a scan at 14 weeks) this happened naturally in the end

I then fell pregnant in 2022 and carried to full term, healthy pregnancy for the most part. I discovered through scans that i had with prior pregnancies that I have fibroids and due to previous miscarriages was under consultation to keep an eye

I took it upon myself to double up folate and took 75mg aspirin everyday from conception to week 35 ( I did inform all medical professionals of this) and prior to falling pregnant I was taking magnesium ( which for the life of me I am not quite sure why I didn't continue once pregnant because I had horrendous sickness till about 4.5 months and magnesium is supposed to really help with this! )

My GP was great in that once I spoke to her about the fear of trying for a third time for my mental health declining, she sent me for blood tests and for a uterus scan to check for any obvious signs of concern however I fell pregnant just as I had the scan - which came back with no concerns apart from the fibroids.

All the best for your journey x

@TheBirdintheCave yes and I called them earlier. They said they’ll check with the doctors and if it’s not normal they’ll call me back but I haven’t heard anything so it must be normal. The pains have calmed down now though

@Doodledeedum thank you for sharing your story! It really does give me hope hearing you got your rainbow baby. Do you know what the gp was looking for with a blood test? I might call them over the next few days about it then and see what they say.

I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks in April 23, followed by an early miscarriage at 6 weeks in July 23. I’ve just had a healthy baby in May 24. I did have recurrent miscarriage testing in July/August which was inconclusive, but was prescribed aspirin and heparin injections on the basis it couldn’t hurt. It also helped me psychologically to feel I was being proactive. I wish you all the best xx

I had 2 early miscarriages in 2023 (medical management for both), currently 22 weeks pregnant. The epu advised an early scan when I fell pregnant again and for this pregnancy I had progesterone from 6 to 16 weeks. The midwife referred at 6 weeks for an early scan and they agreed to prescribe progesterone even though I had only had 2 mcs.

@Rainbowflower2024 sorry I just saw your message. I had a D&C and some fluid was retained. It was really painful. I was staying with my mum, she called an ambulance because she thought my appendix had burst 😳

Can you try and get a GP apointment today? That's good the pain has eased.

@pontipinemum what was the outcome? I’m currently trying to get hold of the hospital but no one is answering as the pain has come back

@Rainbowflower2024 it was in 2020 so a bit of a mess due to covid. I was put in a room for a few hours alone. Had a doctor ask 'how come you decided to miscarry'. Had a scan, was given stong pain killers and sent home.

Maybe try call the maternity unit?

@TheBirdintheCave @pontipinemum hi both! Update - I had cramps still and I went out in public yesterday. I felt so much blood gushing out and I soaked my pants in public. It was horrible. I passed out more pregnancy tissue and went to hospital. They confirmed I had an incomplete mc even though I had the surgical last week. I have a scan tomorrow to check that everything has passed otherwise I’ll have to have another surgical. Good news is I’m no longer cramping so im hoping that is it so I can move on. It was a horrible experience yesterday.

@Rainbowflower2024 oh god you poor thing! My 2nd MC, not the d&c one took about 6/8 weeks to fully pass, I had a few scans to see how it was going. But after that MC I got pregnant and the baby stuck so don't feel like because it was incomplete you are set back

@Rainbowflower2024
Hi I believe they were looking at my iron and thyroid levels x

@Rainbowflower2024 Oh god that's awful! I'm so glad you're ok though.
