Two Years Ago I went through a missed miscarriage. (the fetus had died and I had not been able to pass the tissue and had to have a D&C) Does anyone know the chances of this being a recurring problem or what the signs and symptoms of a missed miscarriage are because I feel wonderful but am in constant fear that the same thing will happen again and I will think everything is going fine... Any info on missed miscarriages, symptoms, and how common they actually are and if they have happened to anyone more than once would be appreciated. Thank you.

I know exactly what you're going through. I had a missed miscarriage last year, though I didn't need a D&C.
Basically, it's not symptoms you're looking for, but lack of symptoms. In my case, my breasts STOPPED being sore, I STOPPED being really hungry and STOPPED having to pee all the time.
I got pregnant again right away and became a nutter worrying about having another miscarriage. I would continuously press on my breasts to check if they were still sore, cry if I was no longer fatigued even though I had just awakened from a nap, etc. Everything turned out fine for me, though, and I know it will for you too.
There's really nothing you can do to prevent a miscarriage. Your body will miscarry a pregnancy that is seriously wrong. "All you can do," my doctor told me once during my pregnancy, "Is say your prayers at night and move on." Letting go of the worry is very hard to do, especially the first trimester. I found that focusing on small milestones (first ultrasound, first blood test, etc.) helped me get through my second pregnancy one step at a time. It also helped to keep a journal.

well i miscarried literatly 2 weeks before I got pregnant now and I am now almost 19 weeks I was petrified of miscarraing when I found out this time (I was 9 weeks when I found out) I stayed in bed and avoided anything that might cause another loss. I have had a total of 2 miscarriages and by gods grace I am doing good with this one also my step brothers gf miscarried around the same time I did and she is now 4 months along with no complications they say a miscarriage can be a way of our bady saying the fetus was not healthy enough to be carried so just take it easy till the risks lower GOOD LUCK AND CONGRATS ON YOUR GIFT

A lot of people (myself included) have suffered through a miscarriage their first time pregnant. It is a devastating thing, and it is quite common, especially in first pregnancies. However, it is a lot less common to lose the second one unless there is a health issue or horomonal deficiency so I think you will be fine. Try to stay calm...I know it's hard. My worries are still here at 40 weeks and I think that's only natural. You'll be fine!

if i were you, id try not to worry. my friend's mom had 6 miscarriages. the doctor told her the 3rd one that she wouldn't be able to have any kids and that if she did get pregnant again, it would be a miscarriage. well, after 3 MORE miscarriages, she had a baby girl who is now my best friend in the world. don't worry. if this one turns out as a miscarriage, just keep trying like my friends mom did.
⥠good luck!

Chances are low unless you have a medical problem that can cause miscarriages. First off, stop stressing yourself out, that's not good on the baby.
I wouldn't worry as long as youre doing what you're supposed to and taking care of yourself then god determines the rest. What's meant to be will be. But i'm sure you're fine. Stop worrying.

hey i had been through the same thing, and i am now 16 weeks pregnant. the high risk dr that i am seeing now did blood test to see if i had a blood disorder because i had so many losses and it turns out that i do. now i take a injection called lovenox once a day to prevent a blood clots that could make me miscarry or have a stillbirth. so i would say to tell your dr to do those types of blood test, but make sure you get medicaid or have some type of insurance because the medicine lovenox cost about $2000-$3000 a month

There is always a higher risk of miscarriage if you have had one in the past. However I have a friend who had a miscarriage and was later able to conceive and carry her baby to term.

Just dont think about it. Be careful with sudden movements, try not to use your ab muscles too much and if you feel like you are at risk, dont have any sex until you feel safe doing so. But the best remedy is to think of a smooth pregnancy, a beautiful healthy baby, and take care of yourself, the first months are the most important !!!!!!!!!
Congrats and Good Luck !!

I don't know any of the statistics but I wish you the very best. It's not in your hands---it's up to the man upstairs. ;o) Trust in Him. Stress can sometimes lead to miscarriages so try your best not to worry about it. Good luck to you!
