I tried for two years to get pregnant, all the tests etc showed I had a blocked tube, booked to do IVF when I fell pregnant naturally. At 10.5 weeks I had a missed miscarriage which resulted in really heavy bleeding at A&E and emergency surgery. Had very little support afterwards (only my husband) and found the whole thing deeply traumatic.
Booked in to do IVF the month before turning 35 when I fell pregnant again naturally. Only 3 months post miscarriage. At 7 weeks I started bleeding again. Straight to A&E had to wait the weekend for a scan, miraculously there was a heartbeat. There was a blood clot on the placenta though and up until 6 months nobody really knew what it was or how it would impact baby. Was put on progesterone for months. At 6 months the blood clot had disappeared and I’m incredibly lucky to now have an 11 month old daughter. The entire pregnancy was stressful. I paid for so many scans and was afraid to do anything.
I swore I would be one and done after everything but when I look at my daughter I want her to have a sibling. I also would love to go through the newborn phase again (maybe I am crazy) but I’m struggling to think that’s it for me, but conflicted with I should be grateful for what I’ve got.
My concern is I’ve been pregnant twice and both had bleeding issues. Has anyone else experienced this? I don’t know who can advise on the risks of getting pregnant again or is it kind of common. I’m nearly 37 yrs old
