Pregnancy After Stillbirth/Recurrent Miscarriage/Late Loss February 2009

[kath26]

Hi there,
This is the first time I have taken part in a forum, and I am glad there are places where we can talk to other women who may be going through similar situations.
I have just had my second miscarriage, at 9 weeks. My first miscarriage was last September at 7 weeks. I have a beautiful son who is 2 and a half.
When I started bleeding last week, I remember thinking "No, please not again", but after my ultrasound the next day, I knew it was inevitable. My baby had died and was only the size of 6 weeks. I had extremely painful cramps and heavy bleeding. My first miscarriage was alot different. I started bleeding lightly, and an ultrasound showed that the baby was alive, but small for the dates. I was still optimistic - I wasn't cramping at all and really thought that the bleeding would stop eventually. But a week later, I miscarried. I think it was the scariest thing I have ever experienced. To think that it could happen again was always in the back of my mind during my last pregnancy but as I started to creep closer to 12 weeks, I thought everything would be OK.
My lovely obstetrician has prescribed a treatment for my next pregnancy so hopefully that will assist in me carrying to full term. Fingers crossed.
I look forward to hearing some inspirational stories. I know I need to hear them. I think I am going to be extremely anxious during my next pregnancy.
All the best x
