2 Previous Miscarriages. Now Pregnant:-)

[BTurley01]

Hi All.

So I miscarried in November last year and again in February this year. I am now pregnant for our 3rd time. And am so excited but the excitement is outweighed by worry. Can't help but worry. I am due 23rd January. What I also don't understand is my clear blue test showed 1-2 weeks and the app I have where u put the first day of your last period shows I'm 3 weeks and 6 days. I think the app is right? So I'm just trying to get in to see the midwife for my 8 week appointment. The previous 2 times I have miscarraried at around 10 weeks and the baby stopped developing around 6

Any advice / thoughts of every way possible to make this work? I am sure I am doing everything right but any advice I would be grateful for

Obviously if this time we miscarriage then investigation will start as it will be the 3rd time but I can't even imagine that as I don't know what I will do if it happens again.

Thanks all

I'm am so excited but also have that doubt in the back of my mind

Congratulations the digit is right with your dates the weeks indicator is from conception whereas when you work out your due date it's worked from the 1st day of you last period xx

I know exactly how you feel!!! I had 2 miscarriages and an ectopic before having a successful pregnancy. We went through all the investigations to find out why and everything came back healthy and was brushed off as one of those things. Sounds very hippie but I decided to do something positive so have hypnotherapy and reiki - the following month I found out I was pregnant and this one was a sticky one. Penny is now 6 & 1/2 months old and an absolute joy!! I suffered with incredible anxiety all the way through my pregnancy though and was signed off work for a lot of my first trimester and was ordered to rest. I also used a lot of meditation therapy at home which really helped me relax. Fingers crossed this one works out for you xx

Miscarriage makes the next pregnancy very stressful. You don't stop worrying... well Im 25 weeks and haven't stopped lol. I had 6 mcs over 2 years and then I got pregnant with this one, I was up at all hours checking for bleeding and having panic attacks. The best advice I got was to take one day at a time and not think about the outcome. Sounds hard but once I got into that it did help.
Hope you get your rainbow x

Thank you so much. I am wondering if at my 8 week appointment I can ask for an early scan. Do you think they would consider it? I'm just so worried all the time

 

[PeanutButter]

You can ask... but I've herd most Drs say they don't bother even scanning until 3 mcs. My dr did though so hopefully they say yes. If they say no you can always go to a private scan they cost around 50-100 depending on your area... x
