Pregnant After MC Support Group
I'm looking for some ladies who are pregnant after mc to support each other.
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 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
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!
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 ✨✨✨✨✨
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.
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.
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.
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!
Hi! Im 14dpo, cd27. Just found out we're pregnant after 6yrs! 1 mc and numerous procedures! ...finally! We're so happy!
Infertility & MC?
I have been ttc 6 years and have had 4 mc no live births. Does anyone here struggle with both getting and keeping pregnant? I would love to buddy up.
Uterine Septum
Are there any ladies here pregnant with a uterine septum? I was scheduled for surgery tomorrow, but found out this morning I am pregnant! It's hard to be excited after 3 mc and the constant fear that this one may end in mc as well. Any stories of hope would be appreciated.
Got my bfp at 13dpo! 6yrs of trying! 1 MC and lots of procedures! We're finally pregnant!
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!
