i'm pregnant!?

Question

I've just found out I'm 5 weeks pregnant. Should I go to the doc now or wait another couple of weeks? I've suffered from 2 miscarriages in the past.

Answer 1

Congratulations! -

I suffered from two miscarriages as well and when I got pregnant with my daughter I was in the doctors office before the pregnancy test finished! I saw two lines and went immediately to his office.

We just talked about precautions and what to watch for. I had an ultra sound done at eight weeks to make sure everyting was alright. With my second miscarriage we had to do a D&C because the baby's heart stopped beating at 7 weeks and we did not find out until 12 weeks in. So we were extremely cautious this time around. And my daughter was born 10 months later!

I urge you to go to the doctor and be open about your worries. Do what you think is right.

I wish you the best of luck!

Answer 2

Congratulations, its best to always make an appointment as soon as you find out your pregnant even if you didn't have a history of miscarriages. You should have a check up at 6 weeks anyway but because you have a history of miscarriage its best to keep in touch with your doctor to give this pregnancy a good chance you should be monitored carefully. You may be sent for a scan to check the pregnancy is progressing well. It's always best to be in contact with your doctor during pregnancy. I wish you all the very best and good luck.

Answer 3

I would call to make an appointment. Tell the doc about your past miscarriages and let him/her decide whether to have you come in or wait a few weeks

Answer 4

When I found out I was pregnant I called the doctor's surgery. They just said "do you want to continue with the pregnancy?". I said of course! they said well make an appointment for 2 months time then. However it turned out that I needed extra strength folic acid as I had spinabifida as a child and by the time I saw the doctor it was too late to start taking it as the spine was already formed. If you have any concerns, insist with the receptionist that you see the doctor straight away. My baby was perfect by the way.

Answer 5

I suggest you go to the doctors now,i've had 7 miscarriages and it's best to let them know straight away as sometimes depending on the reasons why you miscarried they can help,i'm pregnant again now and 4 months so there's hope for you,i got plenty of rest and avoided the obvious,( heavy lifting) take each day as it comes and dont think about it too much as worrying wont help,try taking some folic acid as this helps baby too,i'm lucky that i have 3 children already,but if this baby is your first,i really wish you all the luck, and remember,you and baby's health comes first so take loads of time out to relax. good luck

Answer 6

You should have gone to the doctor when you found out you are pregnant. One of my friends were in the same situation and the third time she was to scared to go and when she finally did it turned out that she was having a healthy baby boy. She is due now any day. So don't be scared just go before you wait to long. Congrats & good luck

Answer 7

Go and if s/he knows what caused the other two great, but if not bring up progesterone as that could very well be the answer. Easy enough to sort out too. Your levels need to double to maintain a pregnancy and if not there are suppositories to do that for you or in extreme cases shots.

Answer 8

congratulations! i would say go to your doctors right away. don't worry or stress out isn't good for either or u or the baby. the doc will give u frolic acid pills to take (as you probably know), and give you the proper help, your doctor will send you for a scan. I'm speaking from previous experience, hope this helps and more information needed, just mail me or even if you just wanna chat :)

Answer 9

Why wait? If you have suffered previous miscarriages, surely it's best to get checked out ASAP.

Good luck xx

Answer 10

Congratulations. Do go and see your doctor as soon as possible. Because you have had two precious miscarriages does not mean that you will again, but it is best to take every single precaution. Good luck.
