Molar pregnancy and fear of it repeating

[buliej]

Weiss - thank you so much for your reply. I received the initial pathology report yesterday and it was good news (not molar). I have a face-to-face appt with my dr tomorrow so will find out more, but she said the lab report was definitive. I was so relieved.

I too spoke to a Dr friend (not a gyno, but still up on this stuff) and she too told me that it wasn't as bad as everything I was reading made it sound.

Good luck to you!

Hi girls.

I too suffered a partial molar in Nov08, it took 2 D&C's and 4 months to reach 0. It's a scary time, and do feel your anxiety regarding it happening again. I think we all have to remember, they are considered quite rare and the chances of it happening again, are the same chances of it happening in the first place. Dr's are quite good at understanding the anxiety and in future pregnancies, they do offer scans every 2 weeks until 12 weeks to help ease your mind. There are so many success stories of healthy pregnancies after a molar, I know a great website if you pm me.
Take care.
