I just had a miscarriage today at 3 weeks. I told a few of my family and close friends and almost all of them told me that it is completely normal and VERY common. Have you or anyone you know miscarrie early on the prego? And how long did you wait until you tried for another baby?

I’m so sorry for what you are going through. I had a missed miscarriage last year. It’s a really personal decision to try again and you have to make sure you are ready physically and emotionally. We decided to keep trying trying straight away, took us five months. And early pregnancy especially was incredibly anxious because of the previous loss, but our baby girl is now 3 weeks old

I was only about 4-5 weeks and I’d told a lot of friends and family, I was 5w3d when I miscarried and when I told a lot of people I’d miscarried it took me by surprise that alot of my family members had experienced miscarriage and gone on to have children with no problems. My partner and I began trying again straight away, tracked my ovulation and away we went! Currently waiting for af or a bfp!xx

I’ve had a couple of miscarriages and a chemical pregnancy before I fell with baby I’m carrying atm. All was early on probably about 3-4 weeks so I feel lucky in the fact that it was pretty much over before it even started. It did cause a lot of anxiety and me thinking I’d never have a baby so when I had a chemical pregnancy in august I was not at all expecting to fall in September but I did! (Probably because it was the last thing I expected)

Hi
So sorry you had to go through that. I had 2 miscarriages one at 6 weeks and then years later another miscarriage at 7 weeks before I had a live birth (my son) I was really young then. But when my son turned 2 I thought that was the best time to start again because I wanted my kids close in age. So anyway we tried again last year I had another miscarriage at 10 weeks which was just the worse thing I’ve been through! Then we had a break and eventually fell pregnant in January this year and unfortunately miscarriages again at 6 weeks. I was determined to allow my son to have a sibling so after a months break we tried again and I’m happy to say I’m currently 15 weeks pregnant and being able to see it though all the way too the first scan was amazing, I’m still in shock now. So really it just comes down too when your ready. All the best to you

I was 10 weeks. I had a D&C and fell pregnant 3 months later. I’m now 19 weeks and it’s still very nerve racking. Sending love x

I miscarried twice before and even if it’s early in pregnancy or common please know you can feel how you feel. Any feelings you have are valid.
It took me around two years to conceive.
I have since had two children. The first born jan 2020 was a pregnancy about 3months after miscarriage, the second born 4 June 21 was immediate conception and no problems.

I lost my baby last September, when I went in to be scanned the baby had stopped growing at 7w 5d. I miscarried at 9w 4d. Fell pregnant again 2 months later and now 32 weeks pregnant xx

I did a preg test when I was 1 day late for my period and it was positive. Started bleeding 3 days later. Hadn't even had a chance to get to the dr for confirmation of pregnancy.
I've heard it's very common.
I fell pregnant with my now 7 month old the very next month

I understand you compleatly. I have my first miscarriage in 2016, the Dr's said i would never have kids. I always wanted a baby boy... fast foward to 2019 (i always pray'd for the joy of having a healthy beautiful baby boy) when i got told i was pregnant i cried and panic... got scared i wasent gonna be a good mom, Now i have a almost 2 year old boy. I miscarried twins as recent as April, 3 Belly's, 4 Kids and only 1 with me. Dont worry your time will come.

Yes, unfortunately I miscarried 8 times in the first trimester. It's painfully common.

I was just over 5 weeks , miscarried around 20th November. I conceived again around end of December.

Sadly it is very common. It doesn’t make it any less painful. I miscarried at 13 weeks last April. It took about 7-8 months to get pregnant again. But I was devastated and didn’t try for the first few months. I am so sorry for your loss. Don’t let anyone stop you from grieving

I had one April 22,2020 I was 7weeks along we decided to keep trying my dr said it was okay an I found out August 7,2020 we were expecting again. I gave birth on April 5,2021 to a healthy beautiful babygirl

I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks, it was my third pregnancy. I had two healthy babies two years in a row a year after that. It may be very common but very traumatic. :(

Has happened to a friend of mine, they do say try again straight away I know she did and got pregnant within a few weeks x

Sorry to hear this and sending love ❤️ We miscarried last year august just short of 8 weeks, I found by talking about it I heard so many stories and how common it really is! Once I stopped bleeding we started trying again before my next period and fell within the 2 weeks! Our little girl is now nearly 7 weeks old! Everyone is different but try again when you feel ready xx

Sorry for your loss hun x
You are very fertile after delivering and even miscarying - as scary as it sounds and easy to say but get back to it hun and I'm sure in no time you'll have your rainbow baby 😉

I had a miscarriage aged 17 , I had my daughter at 18 years old , 5 years later another daughter and I'm currently 17 weeks pregnant. It'll happen again soon hun , sending love xx

I am so sorry for your loss. It is so hard to lose your baby.
I miscarried this past October, baby was 6 weeks when ultrasounds showed it stopped growing, but I didn't naturally miscarry until 10 weeks.
We waited one full menstrual cycle before trying again -- it's not necessary to wait but my midwife suggested waiting one cycle so that it was easier to determine growth based on my last menstrual. We were lucky and got pregnant again right away.

So sorry for your loss... butbyes very common unfortunately I had a loss last month at about 6 weeks was my 4th pregnancy but first miscarriage and i was devastated but pregnant again, period never came so if you feel ready to try again after it all don't feel you have to wait... just whatever you feel is right for you.

Sorry to hear that… hope you find courage to be strong.the right one would come to stay🙏🏻

So sorry 😞 I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks! Id only just found out I was pregnant and 2 days later I was bleeding! Was horrific, but we are nearly a month on now and feel like we are going to try again next month 😀

I had a miscarriage at 7/8 weeks in January and I’m now 20 weeks and 4 days pregnant with a baby boy! I got pregnant straight after before even a period xx

I had 4 miscarriages earliest being 4 weeks and latest being 10 weeks. 2 years after my last one and I now have a 3 month old

2 of my 4 miscarriages happened that early…..
You are not alone by any means. There are more mamas that have had miscarriages than you would think
To answer your question, I always waited until my heart healed a bit to try again

Sorry you have had to go through it. I lost my first pregnancy at 5 weeks but fell pregnant before even my next period and my little boy is now 5 and a half months, just start trying again when you are ready and it feels right 🥰

I'm so sorry to hear this. If it helps you feel better, the main reason for miscarriages happen because of abnormalities in the chromosomes and it's something that is not likely to happen in the next pregnancy.

Sorry about your loss . I have had 3
misscarriages my whole life . My first one I ended up pregnant again around 6 months later than the second I had a baby 3 yrs then 2 more within the years. My youngest son is 5 and I had a miscarriage when he was around 8 months and I haven't had another baby since. Don't worry mama your day is coming hugs

We had a miscarriage and then after a single period got pregnant again and are now at 38 weeks with a baby that's predicted to be healthy.
After researching and talking it sounds like 1/4 pregnancies end in miscarriage (our doctor said that's a rough stat) but most people don't even realize they were pregnant.
My thoughts based on our doctors advice and experience is to try again as soon as you feel emotionally ready. I won't lie, being pregnant after miscarriage is somewhat anxiety provoking but also so special, just make sure you take care of you and your SO along the way and hang in there.

I have a 3 and a half year old daughter, and three months ago I lost a pregnancy at about 8 weeks. The doctor told me that I could try again after the first cycle, and it was received after the first cycle, now I am 7 weeks pregnant. I'm careful not to repeat the finca I know I have some health problems, but tomorrow I have a blood test and see what I'm told, I did the first scan at 6 weeks and everything is fine

I'm sorry, I know what you're going through….

Yes. It really is very common. I’ve had 2 miscarriages very early on. Probably around 5/6 weeks both times.

I've had miscarriages. Got pregnant right away before period.

I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks with my first and waited one cycle then fell pregnant on the next one and my LO is now just over 5 months. I’m sorry you are going through this and my thoughts are with you xx

I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks. Found out I was pregnant then 3 days later was bleeding. I stopped for a week then had another round of bleeding because apparently it hadn’t all gotten evacuated the first round. We never stopped trying to get pregnant and it worked before my next period. Now I’m 16 weeks pregnant (with twins). And everything is looking good so far

I’m so sorry you are going through this! I’ve been there. I miscarried my 1st pregnancy at 5 weeks in January this year. One thing that helped me process it all was that as harsh as it sounds there was something wrong on a chromosomal level so my body did what was best.
Im currently pregnant again and I am 15+3 and all seems to be going well 🥰😊
All I can say is talk to your partner about how you both feel and it will happen 😊 me and my husband had said we wanted to try again. So I said I’d start tracking ovulation after my next period. That never came 😂

Hey lovely,
I had a miscarriage end of December. It was so heart breaking even if i was at a very early stage ( 4 weeks)
My Brother in Law is a doctor and he said that the likelihood that the baby would have had health issues was high. The body terminates the pregnancy if it knows there is something wrong.
I’m not 5.5 months pregnant. I don’t think there is a right time after a miscarriage to be pregnant again. It’s all about when you feel ready.
Wishing you all the best x

I’m so sorry for your loss. I miscarried with my first at 21 weeks, second at 7 weeks, third before I even knew I was pregnant. It is very common. I continued to try and it took me almost a whole year to get pregnant with my rainbow baby I was on a high risk pregnancy and had to take baby aspirin every day of my pregnancy to prevent another miscarriage. It is unfortunately very common but if you would like to start trying again, start maybe 6-8 weeks after and let yourself heal physically and mentally before trying again 💜

Hugs lady.... It isn't easy.
I miscarried at 5 weeks, and got BV the next month. I took a couple months to breath and was pregnant by 4 months.
Listen to your body /heart.
All the best.

I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks. The most devastating thing I've ever been through. I'm still not over it and don't think I ever will be. However I am currently 15 weeks pregnant and due at Christmas. I didn't have a period between my miscarriage and getting pregnant again so it was a complete shock to us. We still pray every day for everything to go well. My heart goes out to you. Don't give up hope. Sending lots of love xx

I’ll be 31 weeks tomorrow—before this pregnancy, I had an early miscarriage at almost 5weeks

I’m so sorry about your miscarriage. It still hurts the pain of losing something that could’ve been a baby. Miscarriages are common 1 in 4 women experience miscarriages within their lifetime. People just don’t like speaking about miscarriages due to the stigma attached to it. It all depends when you’re mentally and physically ready to try again with your partner. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you all SO much! It feels good knowing it is common but at the same time sad. I think my hormones are all over the place and that might be another reason I got so emtional 🥺 thank you all for sharing your pain and stories and I am also sorry for all your losses. Like one of the ladies said “ our bdies do what is best” and I can’t agree more! It must have been for the best and I am just trying to process it all.

I had a miscairrage on my 2nd pregnancy mind you I'm on my 4th. I have an amazing 13 year old and the miscairrage happened after him I was carrying twins and everyone knew it was devastating I went for my 8 week or 9 scan and they had stopped growing at 7 weeks. About 2-3 years later I got pregnant with my rainbow baby he is now 4 almost 5 year old boy. I'm 15 weeks preggo and super excited. I have learned to accept the fact that it happened and to not blame myself.

I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks and I immediately started trying again when my levels went back to normal

I have and I know several woman who have unfortunately. Sorry you are going through this. The right time to try and conceive again really depends on the person. Let yourself grieve your loss before you try again though.

My first was a miscarriage in September at 6 weeks. We waited until I got my period again before trying to conceive just so we would be able to determine gestation when we got pregnant again. We were lucky to get pregnant again in November and are currently 30 weeks 💕

Sending hugs - such a horrible thing to experience
Sadly, 1 in 5 pregnancies end in miscarriage so very very common
And 3 weeks is so so early, it is almost a problem with such sensitive home testing kits as it causes so much emotional pain xx

I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks and it took us 7 months to get pregnant again we now have a happy healthy 7 month old baby girl

I’ve miscarried today too, at 8 weeks, and I am in pieces
