Pregnant After MC Support Group

Praying for you, Carly! Your faith will be tested but if life and belief were easy, it wouldnt be called faith.

God has a plan for you. You have my thoughts and prayers!

Sorry to hear that Carly but like mommy said its not over yet, I'll be keeping everything crossed for u xx ?

Oh Carly! I'm so sad for you but it's not over yet. I know it's so hard to hang on to hope bc you want to protect your heart just in case. So I will hope for you!

Looks like my worst nightmares coming to be true again.. My ultrasound was horrible. I'm supposed to be 7w1d and the baby is measuring way behind at 5w... My odds are 70% that I'll miscarry. I've lost all hope and am questioning any kind of faith. It's not fair, I feel defeated and hopeless. I have to go back in a week to see if anything has changed but it looks like a 3rd mc....

Oh Kate my hearts breaking for you! Your right, all you can do is hope and pray. I'm a nervous wreck, I have my first us in an hour! Please everyone say a quick prayer!

I've had two miscarriages last year I don't wright much on here invade I'm pushing my luck very superstitious

Oh my ladykate! My heart just breaks for you! I'm praying for a healthy for you and your dh!

I know that feeling too. It is so hard to just enjoy the pregnancy with all the fear and anxiety even though you just want to feel normal.

We lost a boy to stillbirth at 36 weeks in 2009, a mc at 6 weeks in 2010, a death of a baby girl immediately following premature labor at 23 weeks and 3 days in 2010, and last year we lost another baby girl to mmc at 14/15 weeks 4 days after a perfect ultrasound. Now I am 8 weeks 2 days with our 5th attempt in 4 years and had bright red bleeding on Fri nite but it stopped.

All you can do is pray, really.

Hello to all the new ladies! Thank you for sharing your stories. Im a SAHM to my 3 1/2 yr old ds. I wish I could find things to keep my mind occupied and stop obsessing. Ds is pretty independent. :) He is adopted, and I only make note of that so share that I have never had a healthy pregnancy. Ds wants a sibling so bad and is so amazing with babies! He has been asking for a sister for years.

Hi ladies! For all the new ladies joining in.. I'm sorry for all of your losses! Its so heartbreaking :(

I had my first us this morning. I thought I was 5w7d but they moved me back to 5w1d and said everything looks perfect!! I'm still so nervous but feel a little better for the time being!

I can relate to all your stories! I too have had 2 mc, 1 natural @ 8 weeks & a blighted ovum @ 12 weeks. I have been blessed with 3 wonderful boys prior to these mc, so was so shocked when I had a scan at 12 weeks and was told I had miscarried!

I am now 5 weeks 5 days, trying so hard to be positive! For me, I have all the classic pregnancy symptoms ..... But I also did with the mcs, my body thought it was preg even though the baby never took off. Hoping and praying for a miracle and not heartbreak, again!

Good luck to you all, xxx

And btw with my 5 month old I had some bleeding early on and was given a diagnosis of miscarriage in the ED , they were wrong she is here and healthy!

Had 5 miscarriages and now have a 5 month old and just found out I'm 5 weeks along with a new one. I've been in your shoes try not to worry sometimes things do work out perfect!

I'm even more terrified because I've had brown spotting and cramps for the past week almost. My symptoms have decreased to only sore breast.

...with my first I had to have two DC and the second one was an emergency because I was loosing so much blood. It almost killed me.

This is my second pregnancy. My first I found out I mc at nine weeks.

It's like I'm afraid to be excited or even thinking of the baby because it could be taken away. I hate this. Currently five weeks five days.

Hey ladies, I'm 8weeks today after a mmc in December at 13 weeks but bub stopped growing at 9.. Xx

I'm with u ladies! I have ha three mc's this past year:( 8 weeks, 12 weeks, then 7 weeks. I am now almost 5 weeks and am trying to be happy but am finding it impossible!! I still don't even feel pregnant except for the exhaustion and acne. I am not coping very well with this, I love the idea of a special group here! I feel we need all the support we can get

I totally know what you are going through. I had a MC at 12 weeks the first time I got pregnant. On 11/07/12 I delivered a healthy baby boy. I was full of worry the whole time I was pregnant. You worry if you feel good, you worry if you feel bad. At the end of the day your worry and stress cannot change what is going to happen. You will get the baby meant for you. I am preggo again now... Oopps :) And I still think of our loss and worry about every test result. Deep breaths - take it day by day!

I'm 7w today! Due dec.9th!

Carly- good luck, I go for my first us too!!

Mommy- glad your symptoms are picking up.. Well you know what I mean!! :)

How far along are you Carly?

I go for my first ultrasound tomorrow and I'm a nervous wreck! Hopefully I see a strong hb. Everyone say a prayer!

Lots of symptoms today! Super sore boobs, lots of pulling/normal cramping, and really emotional. Hoping these are good signs!

I know exactly how u feel, I have 2 dd's but since then iv had 4 early mcs at 5/6 wks 2 of them being last year then fell pregnant in oct but sadly lost my little girl at 20wks on 19th feb, found out last wk in pregnant again I'm almost 5wks so early days but can't help worrying x lots of sticky baby dust for us all ✨✨✨✨✨

I'm with you I naturally mc at 7 wks on 1st March n Been blessed straight away after mc I'm now 6wk+6 n petrified everyday just want to relax n enjoy my pregnancy, so your not alone hunni xxxx

me too ladies, one loss @ 6 weeks and another @ 14. that was in 2009 and we have been trying since then, except in March when I ovulated early and got our very stunningly surprising positive. I have been sick and exhausted for 3 weeks now. I am estimating that I am 7 + 3 today but won't be sure till I go in on the 2nd for my first appt. Congratulations on all your babies, my prayers go with you. its so scary.

Sorry for everyones losses but congrats on your new miracles!! I keep waiting for my symptoms to get worse and they haven't yet :( I know I'm probably cursing myself by saying that but I just want some reassurance!!

praying for you ??

Please think positive thoughts. It will help you, your hubby, and your baby! Love to you ❤.

Absolutely, and everytime I wipe I pray there is no blood (sorry tmi) but I always get nervous

It doesn't help that symptoms come and go as well as cramps. I know it's all normal but any little change and I wonder if that was it. Ya know?

I'm with you ladies, I'm terrified. I've had 2 mc's one was a mmc and one was at 11w. I'm almost not even letting myself believe I'm pregnant. I have a 7w ultrasound on Monday and I'm praying everything goes well and I see a hb. Although I know the worrying won't stop there... Especially since I saw a strong hb last time. I'm glad this group was started so we can all have some support.

I can relate a little I've miscarried twice one at 2 Weeks and the second at 10 Weeks which was just previously in August I am hoping this one last myself its scary but we are all here for support I hope all goes well for you

I would def try to get in earlier mommy, it may help ease your mind :)

Well I will be praying for your lo!

I do have a septum and mthfr. My reg dr is a certified nurse midwife. She usually sees me quickly but since I have been seeing an re may 9 was his first available appt. I have thought about calling my cnmw to see if she can get me in this week just so I'm not going crazy. She prib won't be able to see where baby is located bc she is not a sono tech but at least I could see the hb or not.

Good luck Shell! Have you ever had any testing done to find a cause for the mc's?

The only thing that the reproductive immunologist recommended was a drug called neupogen. It's currently used for patients going through chemotherapy to raise there white blood cell count. It's REALLY expensive as its not approved for this use and won't be covered at all by insurance. I've also heard of people doing intralipod infusion to keep up your immune system but my reproductive endocrinologist doesn't think we need to do this as he really doesn't totally "buy in" to what the immunologist told us so right now I'm just hoping for the best :(

Can you get an earlier scan to make sure that baby is placed in a good spot and at least get some peace of mind? I know you have a septum right?

Right there with you, last year I had an ectopic and lost a tube, had a mmc at 11+5 then I mc @ 6 weeks. I am now 6+6 and had one scan, I have had spotting and symptoms more some days than others! I have another scan in Monday due to spotting and then I'm going to pay for a scan at 9 weeks as I just need to keep myself sane. Gl and all I can say is try to stay positive ??????

Thanks Jaclyn! Let's def stick together. We are both 5w5d too! Can they do anything to keep your body from attacking the embryo?

I can totally relate to what you are feeling mommy! I remember your story from the ttc after mc forum. It sucks that we aren't able to enjoy this precious time. I'm trying my hardest to keep telling myself that everything is going to work out this time but I'm secretly terrified! I'd love to stick together for support, I know I need it. A little about me- tried for over 2 1/2 yrs for #1, have pcos, did 5 rounds of clomid, and then 3 cycles of ivf which all ended in pregnancy but all resulted in mc before 6 weeks. We had major testing done after the third and found that a possible reason could be that my hubby and I have high level of hla matching- in the simplest way, this means that the embryo's chromosomes match mine too closely and my body tries to reject it (the embryo is perfectly fine, it's just natures way of making sure no two people are too similar in chromosomes so that a virus could never take out an entire population) some docs believe in hla matching some don't, it's pretty unclear at this point in time how much truth there is behind it. Needless to say when we found out we were naturally prego we were beyond shocked!! The month we literally stopped trying completely! Craziness.. Anyways I'm now 5 weeks 5 days!
