Question for those who miscarried.......?

Question

Hi All, This is my first pregnancy. I am about 5 weeks along and I have no symptoms at all. My nipples are just a little more sensitive than usual and I am peeing more than I usually do but thats it.

I'm really paranoid that I might miscarry, because a lot of people around me have in the past and it always seemed to be their first pregnancy.

My friend told me that if you don't have any symptoms early on in my pregnancy than the chances of me miscarrying are slim.

So my question is, if you have ever miscarried, were your pregnancy symptoms stronger? Did you notice anything different about the miscarried pregnancy and any full term pregnancies you have had.

I want to say that I know this is a sensitive and difficult topic and I don't mean to offend anyone. Thank you so much...

Thanks for all the great responses. Its comforting to hear about your experiences and reassurances. I'm going to try and not stress about it. ust getting worked up ove rnothing. Thanks

Answer 1

I'm way past the age of having children. But in my prime, I've had 3 pregnancies, only 1 (the 2nd) was carried to full term - actually a week short. Anyway, my OB said I'm one of those who can't easily get impregnated (1st pregnancy occurred 3 1/2 yrs. after we got married w/o the use of birth control) and if I did, I can't hold the fetus well inside me. During the 2 times I miscarried, I had spotting signs as early as week 3 and the bleeding (with abdominal pains) just got worse each day after that. On my 3rd pregnancy, I went to complete bedrest as soon as the spotting occurred but still was unable to stop the bleeding. I'm just so thankful for my one chance for motherhood. I always tell my son how special he is because I carried him on COMPLETE (eating, bathing, everything! done laying down) bedrest for 6 1/2 months! The rest of the term was partial bedrest where I was allowed to sit for some 3 hrs. per day. And of course, no contact during entire period of my pregnancy (poor honey!). But then again, my case is not commonplace.

You're gonna be okay, my dear....think positive...think happy thoughts. Don't be looking for symptoms that are not there. Pregnancy is a beautiful thing. And you are a beautiful pregnant woman - stand proud! Congratulations!

My very best wishes to you............

Hi I miscarried when I was 19 years old, it was my first pregnancy. I had no idea I was pregnant, no symptoms at all I still had my period as usual, which is not uncommon. I miscarried 2 months into it. After being checked out I found out that it was stress that caused me to miscarry. I just got dumped by the guy that was supposed to be the father. But my advice to you, since you know you are pregnant is to keep a good eye on your weight, what you eat and exercise a bit to keep stress levels down. I was told walking is great when you pregnant. But do not over exert yourself if you do try to find a way to relax, hot bath or just take a mid afternoon nap. Oh and have frequent visits with your doctors. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

First of all, it is normal to be paranoid, especially the first time and it doesn't go away until after delivery.
When I had a miscarriage, my pregnancy symptoms were the same as they were when I was pregnant with my two children. My sister-in-law actually had stronger symptoms when she miscarried, really bad morning sickness etc.
I hope it works out for you.

Answer 4

I miscarried at 5-1/2 months. We knew that something was going wrong about a month before that, but nothing could stop it. My second child was born perfect and full term. The only difference between the two was the with the second I had morning sickness all nine months.

Please don't be concerned. Yes, a lot of women miscarry with their first baby, but a lot of women don't. Keep your appointments and take care of yourself and your baby. That is the best you can do.

Answer 5

I've miscarried twice and both times I experienced full on pregnancy symptoms (swollen/sensitive breasts, bloating, cramping, movement, cravings, frequent peeing) I lost both pregnancies at around 6 weeks. Haven't been able to get pregnant again. I wouldn't compare your body to your friends and their experiences with pregnancy. Everyone is different and experience different things. What may be normal for one woman may not be normal for another. Try to relax and take care of yourself...that's the best (and only) thing you can do. Let nature take care of the rest. Congratulations and good luck!!

Hiya first of all i've had a miscarriage and whilst i used to be 10 weeks i went for a experiment i used to be informed my little one had no heartbeat the little one measured 7 weeks. I can realise what you are saying approximately your interval and the reminder of your miscarriage, No one was once a middle might ever dream of giggling at you as there's not anything to snigger at you will have had a loss and an excessively giant loss your little one and prefer me and each unmarried lady and guy that has long past via a miscarriage you do have a correct to grieve. Im sorry however the household member that mentioned you dont have a correct considering that you didnt preserve your baby i might have punched them how dare they are saying that to you omg you might no longer know the way indignant i'm at how you're being dealt with. Like me you're going to constantly have that surprise of was once it a woman or boy what might they appear like what might they prefer most of these ideas nonetheless cross via my head and that i had my miscarriage in 06 the loss in no way is going away it will get less difficult however it in no way is going. If you ever wish to speak e-mail me i can open my e-mail on my profile

Answer 7

My first miscarriage I had very strong pregnancy symptoms from the very beginning. This pregnancy was actually carried for 28 weeks. My second miscarriage was only carriad 8 weeks and had a lot of cramps and spotting at the beginning. With both my living kids, I only had the urge to urinate more often and sensitive breats at the beginning. This is only my experiences...but I wish you the best of luck for you and your baby.

Answer 8

No offense taken. After all, it is your first pregnancy and you want and need to know things.

My pregnancy symptoms were pretty much the same with all four pregnancies. Each time I became pregnant with my final three, I lost them within a week. I'm just not one of those women who carry children easily.

I suggest speaking to your ob/gyn about any concerns you have with your pregnancy. Hopefully, he/she can put your mind at ease.

Best wishes.

Answer 10

Please don't worry too much. I've had three children and 5 miscarriages. I have NEVER noticed any connection between how strong or how slight my pregnancy symptoms were. I had terrible sickness and fatigue with my last successful pregnancy and my first successful pregnancy hardly any.
It is totally natural to worry about things when your pregnant but don't let it spoil things for you. Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy and best of luck. x x
