Another Loss - Stories of Hope

[DaringlyDizzy]

Feeling really down.
Had an ectopic in March and a loss at 10 weeks last week.
It was V traumatic as I hammeroghed at home and had to be blue lighted in. A and E were amazing and I couldnt have asked for better staff. 4 hours after 999 call I was on a ward post-surgery. The blood loss was terrifying. 2.5litres was estimated and I have never seen paramedics rush or had a team waiting on arrival. That itself was disconcerting but I was so out of it and barely able to stay conscious. The miscarriage itself has been occupying my mind and now grief at the loss is creeping in.

Any happily ever after stories after recurrent loss?

I'm so very sorry for what you've been through. So traumatic and I know that recurrent losses are like being repeatedly kicked in the teeth.

If it helps, I am now 27 weeks with my ninth pregnancy. I had 3 miscarriages before my daughter was born 5 years ago and at least four (not including a couple of chemicals simply because it would drive me insane) while trying to give her a sibling. Couple of really traumatic and messy miscarriages at 13 weeks after MMC detected. Two d&cs. My recurrent miscarriage consultant was lovely but nobody could ever explain why I kept losing babies. I know it's such an awful time with such difficult feelings involved.

Anyway, this pregnancy? Textbook. Really straightforward so far. She appears to be a very healthy and active baby girl, growing along her percentile, and nobody can explain why she has been fine and the others were not. I can't believe we've got so far and fingers crossed will have her finally join our family in the autumn. It's surreal but I do have faith that this one will be OK. It can happen and I am sending you all the solidarity, good vibes and baby dust for your own happy ending x

So sorry for what you are going through. The journey is so tough and I know I’ll carry mine with me for the rest of my life. I had 5 losses before having my son last year and by some miracle am currently pregnant again and due this year. It can happen! With my son I changed to a better hospital that I felt looked after me better and prescribed me progesterone and vitamin D. Wishing you so much luck.
