Second m/c how do I keep hope alive

[Angelwildfire]

Today I found out that my little angel no longer has a heart beat I'm suppoed to be 9wks but its only showing 7wks3days

I had another m/c at the beginning of the year which I had a d&c for, this time I'm letting it happen naturally as I bascially did it all myself last time.

I'm just so scared that this is gonna keep happening, I so don't understand whats wrong with me, even though I know it's mother natures way of doing what she does best.

If anyone has any support right now I would be so gratefull to have it.

Don't loose hope AWF- i had 2 m/c before i had DD, who is now 8 months old. Rest up, and be gentle on yourself. x

Angelwildfire - I am so sorry that you have had to suffer the pain of pg loss twice - once is cruel enough but twice is just awful. Unfortunately I've lost two pg also - I still feel the pain and think about my angel babies every day. But DH and I just refused to lose sight of 'the big picture' and ob has repeatedly told us that he hasn't seen a couple like us yet who haven't gone on to have a healthy baby. So after 4 months we started trying again and I fell pg on the third try. I'm very nervous, very scared but very excited also because although there is the chance I will m/c again, there is a much bigger chance that this bub is going to go to full term. You just have to believe.

I think I got my ttc confidence back after ob did the tests, because that helped me get rid of the 'there's something wrong with me' thoughts.

It is so so so hard but please don't give up - find a good doc (if you don't already have one) and don't lose sight of that bub.

sorry to hear of your losses , i know it is not an easy path , but when you get to hold that special baby in your arm it will be worth all the pain you have been through. sending you a big hug.

sorry for your losses angelfire. I think a second loss in a row is especially hard to deal with (not that a single loss is easy at all!!!) I have lost 3 bubs, 2 of them in a row, then gone on to have a successful (but nerve-racking) pg.

I agree with the other girls it is so so so hard but worth the pain and anxiety in the end when you do end up with that beautiful, special bub that has angel babies in the sky watching over it. I always felt my last (successful) pg was watched over by my angel babies, which helped keep me strong.

best of luck, thinking of you.
