    Well Done !

    Hi there
    Was just going through the recent threads and found yours. How wonderful for you to have fallen pregnant again so quickly. I had the almost exact same experience and had a D & C on sept 4th also got to 12 weeks and thought the lack of feeling sick was a good thing. Till I began spotting and had a scan and was told my baby had died 3 weeks earlier so I am trying to pick myself up and look forward to being pregnant again soon I hope. Must say I can't wait for the month until my normal cycle starts until I try again even though I was advised to I guess I trust god to let me conceive if he thinks I can this early ! I can understand you being nervous but I guess you just have to take each day as it comes and pray you feel really sick and tired then you will know your hormones are working hard and everything will be ok. I have been pregnant 14 times and have only given birth 9 times and all the times I miscarried I didn't feel very sick or tired but the babies that were ok I felt so ill so that for me is a good sign morning sickness is really a good thing !means your hormones are strong !

    Good luck and well done and try to relax !

    I too have had silent miscarriages (they had a horrible name when I had them though *missed abortion*)

    I was 9 weeks and then another one at 10 weeks. After each mc I went on to have a healthy baby, the pregnancies were so scary though. I honestly worried alot but I had a great GP who gave me an US as soon as we found out we were pg and then again at 8 weeks and then at 12 weeks. Anytime I was concerned I could go down and see her,

    Good Luck. I hope everything goes smoothly for you

    Aprel,

    I know how you feel as i was in the same situation as you a month ago and it was the worst experience of my life. DF and I are trying again this month and i know i'm going to be a nervous wreck when i fall again. Stay positive, thinking about and praying for us all.

    Hi, I just had a missed m/c too and had to have a D&C on the 29th Sept. We want to try again right away and was wondering if there is any medical reason that we shouldn't? Years ago, I had a m/c and was pregnant again within a month......but I'm 38 now. On the last scan, I was told that my ovaries are good and there is no reason that I shouldn't be able to get pg and carry to term. Am absolutely terrified though!

    Aprel,

    Firstly I am so sorry for the loss of your first baby, its a very difficult thing to go through.

    Now CONGRATULATION on your current pregnancy. It is so wonderful and it can also be an incredibly difficult time for you.

    Taking one day at a time as others have mentioned is certainly the BEST advice anyone could offer. I would also suggest either coming in to BB to express any fears or anxieties you have, especially if you have no one else around you who have been through the same or a similar experience because basically they do not know how significantly a loss can impact on feelings towards your current pregnancy.

    Try to keep positive - it will be hard at times and TBH you never stop worrying but do try to keep from really stressing over the "what if's" they will do your head in and they are not helpful or healthy to you or your growing baby.

    Lastly - the realization that you have no control over what happens is an empowering thing. If you can allow yourself to give up control and to trust that things will work out fine (even if it takes time) you will get through everything much better.

    You will have good days and bad days so just accept whatever happens as normal.

    Much love and sticky vibes to you and your growing baby.

    Hi there Loubee

    Just a quick hello and to say I had a D&C on sept 4th for missed mc and as soon as I stopped bleeding and felt ok I started trying again as there seems no reason not too but for me it was not to be as AF arrived 5 wks later but it didn't stop me trying. I am 44 so don't have age on my side. I also fell pregnant very quickly after a MC a few yrs ago but just hoping I will do the same again.
    So here is some and my fingers are crossed for you to get a BFP very very soon the main thing is to think POSITIVE we can do this even those who don't have age on their side
