Pregnant after miscarriage

I had a miscarriage back in December at 8 weeks. 3 months later, I’m pregnant again (around 5 weeks). I’m so excited and happy but I can’t shake the anxiety and fear of miscarrying again. So far, I really don’t have any symptoms which is the most worrying part (when I miscarried the first time I completely stopped feeling all symptoms).

I have my first doctors appointment this week, so I’m hoping that will help ease my worries. I want to be happy and enjoy this journey, but the unknown is really getting to me.

Just looking for support, or anyone in the same situation. Anyone else feel like this while preparing for their 🌈👶🏽

I’m in the same boat girl, miscarried last year at around 6 weeks. I’m currently in my 6th week of my second pregnancy now and everything seems to be going well but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t anxious most of the time. What helps me is prayer and talking to loved ones! I believe we’ll be fine tho girl, Gods got us ❤️ we will have a successful pregnancy & deliver healthy babies in the next 8-9months by Gods grace x

First off congrats 🫶🏽 I’m so happy for you. Secondly, could you share how your cycles were after you miscarried ?

sure, I found out about the missed miscarriage on December 27th, and by January 21st, my body completely shed the pregnancy. I got my period again about a month later in February which was pretty light, and then another normal cycle the following month in March. Then when my April period was 2 days late, I took a pregnancy test which came back positive.

I’ve just had a missed miscarriage, can I ask when you all started trying again? I feel like the only way to get through is to get pregnant ASAP if possible xx

first of all, I’m so so sorry for your loss. It’s truly devastating. My doctor recommended waiting 2-3 cycles, but we started trying again after 2. From my own experience I will say that being pregnant after a miscarriage is incredibly tough mentally and emotionally. I find myself randomly anxious or sad while being excited and happy all at the same time. Everyone’s journey is different. What really helps me is listening to my body and talking with my boyfriend about my emotions (which is very hard for me to do). And being on this app, and sharing stories/experiences with women going through similar things has helped a lot too. Hang in there! We will get our rainbow babies 🌈🤍

thank you, I can’t believe how empty I feel at the moment. Congratulations on being pregnant again, but I can also imagine it’s terrifying at the same time. You must question every twinge even more than before. I don’t think I could wait for 2 cycles… we had ivf for our baby that we lost, so even though it’s unlikely we’d manage to conceive naturally, I really want to try just in case the fertility boost makes any kind of difference. It’s such an awful thing to go through, but I am trying not to bottle it up. Good luck with your rainbow baby 🌈 Hoping that we all get a rainbow one day ❤️ xxxx

Hey everyone I downloaded this app again because I’m in a similar situation and Just want to make sure everything is ok. I had a silent miscarriage in April and had to surgically remove the embryo. That was my first pregnancy. My boyfriend and I continued to try according to my app Im 6 weeks 3 days but Im terrified to even schedule a doctors appointment. Should I wait a little while longer or just go.

Schedule the appointment and go from there. I had to register to my local hospital as my gp, don't do it anymore . I'm been booked for two midwife appointments and 12 weeks scans already

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Almost 37 weeks + told to do another growth scan

I just had my second to last doctor’s appointment this morning, and my OB told me she wants me to do another growth scan because my belly is measuring small. She says it’s probably just because I’m a smaller woman, but they like to be safe. It’s hard to hear though, since I just did one a couple months ago.

I did this with my firstborn around this time of pregnancy, so I do think I just carry smaller (even though I don’t feel like I look “small” at all). My first baby was 6lbs 15oz when she was born at 41 weeks + 2 days. I’m having this baby at 39 weeks on April 7. I hope she’s still at least 6lbs.

Anyone have any stories similar to this?
