Pregnancy after Miscarriage or Loss #3

Joeve - I had the same thing happen at week 15 so I TOTALLY understand. I'm SO happy for you :leap: that the nuchal test went well and all is looking good for the little one. I dont know why these unexplained things happen, its very stressful but happy that its all working out.

Mich - OMG thats hilarious, I was thinking in getting another "smaller" pillow but I think after your post I might just keep trying with the massive one LOL We ARE very insync, imagine the two little girls are born on the same day! Let us know how you go on Monday ;)


Saffy - have fun on hols you lucky lady! Dont worry its sometimes hard to keep up with all the names, I knew you meant me :hug:

AFM- just at work BORING, a little sad as some stretch marks are starting to appear. Have been using the Gaia belly butter constantly but doesnt seem to stop them :( Any suggestions from any of you who have experienced this and found something that works I'm all ears. I have this issue re these marks since I was very little so I'm not suprised they appeared but I just didnt want them all over my belly, I'm hoping they stop creeping up!

I'm spotting :(

Oh jlk, I'm sorry! It's so scary!! Have you had spotting with your other pregs?
I really hope it's innocent, most of us on here have had spotting so we understand the fear :(
Can you get a scan on Monday? Hugs.

Hugs babe, I am actually shocked by how many people have bleeding in some form. I honestly thought it was the exception but it appears its not, I think 75% of the Feb belly buddies group I am in have had some.

Put your feet up and stay positive. I know its hard I have had it twice this week x

I'm curled up in bed.... It seems to have stopped now, just a little brown when I wipe and the cramping has gone(maybe thanks to panadol) the only other bleeding I've had In pregnancy didn't end well :(

jlk i have everything crossed for you that this will pass and everything will be just fine.

I hope everyone is doing really well, i popped in here a while ago when i first found out i was pregnant. I am feeling so different about this pregnancy, now that the morning sickness has gone (and it was really bad) some days i just forget that i am. I dont know if its because im too scared to be excited or if its because im doing this as a single mum at 39 but im just not feeling what i want to feel...for the first 12 weeks i woke up everyday expecting something to go wrong...but all the scans, bloods ext have been very positive. I have a home doppler which has given me reasurrance and confidence, but i just feel shut off and disconnected...not depressed though, just not excited..... i hope this goes away soon, it seems everyone around me is more excited than me. And i want to jump up and down and be happy..

Scan at 12pm

Bub is gone

So sorry to hear jlk.
I hope you are ok xx

Hugs I am so sorry :(

Double post.

jlk :hug: I'm SO sorry love

So so sorry jlk. Life is unfair, look after yourself...

I had this exact situation last year. I had a MC at about 9 weeks when pregnant with no.4 - got pregnant straight away afterwards without any period in between. DC4 will be 1 next week! I was also pretty worried until I had a 12 week scan, which turned out to be fine, and I think I started to settle down a bit after that! I have never had any other MC, and am now 26 weeks with an unplanned DC5 - so I think that these things just happen sometimes, not for any particular reason. I did read that the only reason the medical people don't like you to get pregnant straight away after MC is that it is harder to date? It certainly never affected me. Good luck and fingers crossed everything will turn out ok with this pregnancy.

hi lovely ladies :heartbeat:

i'm a newbie here.. recently we had a m/c. was our first baby. we m/c'd at 5 weeks :(.

just curious.. some of you ladies might have an answer to this.. fiance and i are really keen to start TTC ASAP.. i'm on folic acid and blackmores conceive well gold. any recommendations on when we should start? straight away? after my first period? months?

i'm so so sorry for your loss jlk... huge :hug:'s to you hun..

xxx baby dust to all

Hi Mummy&Daddy2Be
So sorry about your loss :( After my m/c's which were 9 and 7 weeks my gynae said we could start trying after my first normal period. He seemed to think there was a slighty increased risk of m/c if you get preg straight away. However, there are many women who have and have had no problems and 5 weeks is fairly early - so it's up to you. You don't need to wait any longer than your first normal period though - unless for emotional reasons! I hope that helps and hopefully we'll see you back here really soon with a BFP :)
