Pregnant after M/C

My name is Tristan. I am 27 years old. I have a wonderful, soon-to-be 4 year old son, Jackson. I have 1 angel baby that I lost in September of this year to a missed miscarriage. Had some spotting and after a few weeks had a U/S that showed a baby with no HB that I lost around 10 weeks. I had a D/C done and I am now pregnant for the first time since the M/C. I calculated myself to be around 7W5D but my first ultrasound has me at 7W today. I am having a really hard time being excited and enjoying this pregnancy. I am scared at every second of every day. All I do is google for people who have had successful or unsuccessful pregnancies following a m/c. And of course me measuring small and baby had HR of 100 at 5w6D I am just so nervous. Every time I go to the bathroom I feel like my heart is pounding and I am afraid to wipe. I am squeezing my boobs all day to make sure they are still sore and if I happen to get some reprieve from morning sickness it just worries me. I am having another ultrasound on 1/2 to follow up on the last one but it feels like its forever away. I was just wondering if anyone out there is having a difficult time with their current pregnancy due to a miscarriage. I am really obsessed over researching and am just really worrying too much. Looking for some support and to support others as well! Thanks for reading, I hope it made sense!

The best advice I can give....STOP googling. Googling can either give you answers or cause you more worry and...It seems it's causing you more worry. A lot of women have had multiple successful pregnancies after a miscarriage...after even multiple miscarriages.

I know it's hard to relax, but stressing isn't doing anything positive for your unborn baby. I wish you luck with the rest of your pregnancy!

It is very scary and no matter what anyone says you will still have a lot of anxiety. Personally I have had a few miscarriages and was the same as you. The farther you get the more your brain will chill out. Good luck and tons of sticky, healthy baby dust from me to you. <3

I completely understand. I miscarried last year but was early enough to past the baby on my own. However when I got pregnant this year I just couldn't allow myself to be happy about it. Cory just didn't understand, he knew how much I wanted a baby. But I just couldn't get past the what ifs.

I am glad to say I am now 35 weeks pregnant and my baby shows no signs of having any issues.

Also my sister had a miscarriage with her second pregnancy and had to have an D/C. A year later she gave birth to a healthy little boy followed my a healthy little girl the next year. There is always hope.

Best of luck to you and congrats.

I know someone who has a miscarriage before she has a successful pregnancy, every time. Her 3 kids are very healthy and advanced in their development.

Stop researching and just R-E-L-A-X! Stress is bad for the baby and one of the leading causes of early miscarriage. Just take a deep breath, take your vitamins, drink lots of water, eat healthy and rest. If you don't work or don't study and are THAT paranoid, just stay on bed-rest until you reach 12 weeks. See a doctor asap, they will determine if you are a high-risk pregnancy and monitor you like a hawk, lots of ultrasounds and everything.

I miscarried 7 months ago and ttc again so I feel your nervousness and stress, but what's best for both of you is to take it easy!

I understand where your coming from. I had my second miscarriage in January of 2008 at 11 weeks and 6 days. My HCG levels were at 39 weeks. My body was in labor with to be born, I ended up needing a D&C. In June of that year I found out I was pregnant again and carried her to exactly 40 weeks, she is now my beautiful almost 4 year old baby girl!!! There is hope even through the fear and paranoia. I wish you all the best and for a happy healthy pregnancy and baby!!!

Thanks for the replies everyone. I really am trying to be positive and stop stressing but it's just so hard. It's really an awful, dooming feeling. I hate it.

in in the exact same position... IM 6w2days... Ive had 2 previous missed misscarriages, i also squeeze my boobs to check there still hurting! IM so afraid that in going to lose this one, in also constantly googling everything.

I know what you are feeling... the only advice I can give you is take it easy and try not to stress and worry ab it. Trust me, I know its easier said than done. I had a mc back in August... and got pregnant again in October. Best thing for you and baby is take it as easy as you can and try not to worry. I pray everything goes well with your pregnancy. Just keep your head up...

Had a MC in 7-11 and didnt get pregnant again till 2-12. That pregnancy went 100% fine and DS is now 2 months old and doing well. Unless you MC because of some medical reason then try not to worry, my dr told me it happens 1 out of 3 pregnancies (or somewhere close to that) and that it is just bad luck... Sorry if that doesnt help, but there's always hope. Just try to relax and wait for your next appointment

I feel for you honey...I worried the same way you do during my entire first trimester with my second pregnancy after losing my first to a missed miscarriage. The only advice I can give is not to stress and think positive. Pregnancy should be a happy time.

i know how you feel I have been there....its really hard to not have it on your mind 24/7 but you really have to try! Try to focus your attention on your family, job something else. Goodl uck and baby dust to you!

Sorry for ur loss Tristan, wishing u and healthy and happy pregnancy girly. How r u and Ur little boy? Just had my second child myself. Good luck mama.

The best advice I can give you is to stop all that internet bullsmurf cause it didn't help me none. I found support through BG and all these ladies helped me get through it. I had a miscarriage back in june @ 6 weeks exactly and now I'm 26 weeks pregnant. I thought I would never be able to get pregnant but here I am pregnant with a baby girl who is healthy! keep your head up& I'll send some baby dust& prayers your way<3
