A question to those who have miscarried????

I know this is a delicate subject but can I please ask how many weeks you were when you miscarried??

Thank you

When I was 19 many moons ago I lost mine at 6weeks but didn't find out until 9weeks.

I was 12 weeks and found out my angel had died at 7 weeks.

I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks 3 years ago now. I knew straight away though as I had a great gynea who got me in for testing immediately. It's a hard thing to go through and I would not wish it on anyone.

Hi, I had a m/c last august at somewhere between 6 and 7 weeks.
I was 'lucky' if u can call it that, and had a complete m/c.

I hope you never have to go through it;)

I've had two - the first one I'm not sure of how far along I was but suspected about 5 weeks. The second was just under 6 weeks.

I had one at 9 weeks and one at 5 weeks. Both were complete. My mum had 2 as well, one at 6 weeks and one at 10 weeks.

my first was at 10 weeks and was a blighted ovum my second was at 10 weeks and the baby had died at 9 weeks

Thank you everybody! I know the memories would have been painful so I appreciate you sharing your stories. I was just trying to get a feel for the most common period for miscarriage. Looks like it is between 5-8 weeks. I'm currently 4 weeks and 1 day with bubs # 1 so I'll just keep eating properly and exercising and hope for the best.

Thank you all again.

1st m/c - 19wks
2nd m/c - 7wks
3rd m/c - 5wks

My first baby miscarried at 10 weeks.
The one I lost between Emily and Toby was very early - I found out about it at just on 7 weeks but it was a blighted ovum so it wasn't right from the very beginning.

I lost my baby at 13 weeks. I had to have a D&C to have bub removed. That was July 2005 and was my 3rd pregnancy.

I had an US at 10 weeks only to discover that the bubby had died at 8 weeks.

I had an ultrasound at 12 weeks to find the baby had stopped growing at 8 weeks, there was a heartbeat seen 2 days before, but even though it was not said I now assume it was not the right heart rate but it was there. I was told to wait a week and see what happens.

2 days later next scan revealed no heart beat, baby 8 weeks in size and uterus 12 weeks.

why there was still a hb I dont know, I have never really had this explained to me.

My first i lost at 8 or 9 weeks (didn't know i was PG until i miscarried) but it was a blighted ovum so there was no foetus as such.

My second i lost at 5wk and some days. Just pregnant enough to have had a +ve HPT and then a -ve one 3 days later, bleeding started that day. Think it would possibly be counted as a chemical pregnancy, though i ended up in A&E with the bleeding and pain, luckily didn't need a D&C.

I had a missed m/c at 12 weeks, baby's gestation was estimated at about 7.5 weeks.

I had a missed m/c at 13 weeks, baby was dated about 11.5. Second m/c was at 5.5 weeks.

Congrats on your pregnancy. Try not to worry too much about m/c - its an awful reality of far too many pregnancies, but its much better if you can be positive and imagine in just a few short (ha ha!) months you'll be holding your baby in your arms.

I had a missed m/c at 11 weeks. They estimated that our baby died almost two weeks before that.

I miscarried a baby boy at 18.5 weeks. I was told that it is more common than people realise to miscarry during the first 1-12 weeks of pregnancy and that many people miscarry without even realising that they are pregnant. It is much less common to miscarry during the 13th and 20th week after which losing a baby is no longer considered a miscarriage but is called a stillbirth.

Here are some stats from:http://www.amazingpregnancy.com/preg...icles/337.html

Almost 20% of pregnancies end in miscarriage, with the majority occurring during the first 12 weeks.

There is a 75% chance of miscarriage in weeks 1-2 of pregnancy, when you do not know you are pregnant.

There is a 10% chance of miscarriage in weeks 3-6 and this number drops to 5% during weeks 6-12.

During the second trimester the chance of miscarriage drops again to 3%.

I miscarried at 17 weeks - probably due to BV.
