[BabyJ]

Hi, i would like to know, if you've had 1 miscarrage, is it likley that a 2nd pregnancy will miscarry further on? I may be getting worried/ parionoid if i try again it will end up the same from what ive heard from other people

Hi, our dr told us that a vast majority of people who have a mc go on to have successful pregnancies and one mc is not indicative of anything. My first pg ended as a mc, we didnt use any contraception afterwards and started trying again after a month or so (I wasn't in the mood for about the first month or so afterwards) and now we are 26w+4.

Emotionally, it's really hard, I was on eggshells until we got past the point we did the first time and still didn't really relax until we got to the 20wk scan but it is worth it.

Mc is far more common than we realise, until it happens to us. It's not something people talk about so the info isn't easily available.

I'd say, when you and your OH are ready to start trying again, do and enjoy the process too ;0). It will happen, in time

Good luck and take care,

Tx

Thanks for the info it does help. To be honest im kinda scared of trying again (sorry if i seem sad or cheesy lol!) but i just dont wanna go through such a tramatic experience again. We have tried twice since its happend but i was uneasy throughtout, so i think ill have a little break first for a few month. But whatever happens, happens...

I agree with GsyMummy13 i would start trying when both you an your partner are ready only you and your body will know when that time is you don't sound sad or cheesy its natural how you feel if and when you do start to try again make an appointment with your gp and take your partner with you and discuss any worried and concerns with him/her.

Thanks for the reassurance

I lost a baby at 10 weeks March this year and my partner and I were very upset by this so we decided to try again straight away. I conceived within a couple weeks and then miscarried at 6 weeks. Out of nowhere, straight after the 2nd miscarriage I kept getting thrush and couldn't clear it, then my health went down hill and I literally felt like I was dying, I had symptoms of major dehydration however I was drinking more water than I ever had before, I was eating a hell of a lot more but my weight was dropping by scary amounts! After I collapsed at work, I went to my Dr and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and I had DKA from not knowing I had diabetes and ended up in hospital - I asked my Dr what made me get the diabetes as type 1 isn't hereditary or to do with weight and diet - he said sometimes it's an infection that stops your body producing insulin but explained there's no known reason. I honestly believe it was me conceiving again too quickly and losing the second - my body couldn't take the strain and things went downhill quickly. I'm only telling you this because I wouldn't wish that on anyone - even if you only wait a couple months - its best to get your body and mind back on track before trying again.

Hiya lovey. I had a miscarriage last year and decided to wait in case of second mc but i am living proof that it doesnt necessarily mean u will have another. I fell pregnant straight after without having a period in between the miscarriage and new pregnancy and i now have a very happy, healthy 8month old little girl. I would however start trying when you are physically and mentally ready coz a mc is very heartbreaking. My girl was a complete surprise! Didnt think it was possible x

[BabyJ]

Aww well done to you! Yeah we're sort of trying now but we're just waiting whenever it happens. I think its best that way. Thanks for the support. So u dont have to have a period then?x

so many people in the same situation! i have an 11 year old daughter, m/c about 6 years ago,at 6 wks, decided then wasnt the time for more children so only decided last year that i would come of the depo and try...

I fell pregnant but again m/c at 5 wks, total heartbreak.but knowing i was emotionally ready to try again we started ttc straight away, i had one period after the m/c and am know pregnant again, very early days at nearly 5 weeks,i am seeing the gp today to get referred to the early pregnancy unit just to keep a check on things...but fingers crossed 3rd time lucky xx
