I had a miscarriage 2 months ago and im pregnant again, should I be worried about it happening again?

Question

I've been so nervous since i found out i was pregnant again, what are the chances of misscarring again?

Answer 1

Don't know the chances but my wife and I are in your exact same boat. There is always a chance. Several people I work with said they knew of people who had 2 miscarriages before having a baby. Just keep an eye out for the symptoms and read up on it. Wishing you the best of luck.

Answer 2

Poor you.

I was told after I lost my first that the chances of miscarrying again were the same as they were the first time. You are not more at risk of having another miscarriage just because you have already had one miscarriage.

Try not to think about it, I know it is extremely difficult, but try. Focus on the positives, such as you have conceived really easily whereas it takes lots of people a long time, and sometimes they never conceive. I also gained strength by thinking how much worse it would be to lose a baby late in pregnancy or to lose a child. I therefore thought I was lucky compared to many other people!

Good luck, xxx

Answer 3

Unless you have a history of miscarrying you are at no greater risk of miscarrying again. It is a really sad thing that happens. I had two babies then a miscarriage and am 36 weeks pregnant now. ALso those 1st trimester miscarriages cannot be prevented or caused (by lifting something heavy or even a fall down the stairs- thanx Gone with the WInd) so Dont let your joy be taken away by the fear of it happening again. Just take care of yourself. Good luck!

Answer 4

Hello, first of all congratulations.

I am 12 weeks pregnant and i had a miscarriage last July. I was really worried from the moment i found out, scared it would happen again. I just took it really easy and everything is ok.

Try not to worry, out your feet up, don't over do it and be happy!!

Answer 5

It may depend on why you miscarried the first time. I recommend talking to your doctor. Your doctor is in the best position to know what you can do to reduce the risk of it happening again. I will say that miscarriages are not so uncommon that I would be overly worried. You probably have a better chance of having a healthy pregnancy than not.

Answer 6

I think that will depend on your general health. The important thing tho is, if you do carry this pregnancy to term make sure you have plenty of folic acid (1,000 mg) so your baby won't be born with any deformities. My mother had a miscarriage and got pregnant again within 2 months and my brother was born with a bilateral cleft palate (double hare lip). She later found out it was due to a folic acid deficiency. I'm not trying to scare you, but an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure (as the saying goes). Best of luck with your pregnancy.

i feel for you and i know what your going through.

i had a miscarriage last year at 7weeks so i hadn't really got used to being pregnant. and then 12 weeks later i found out i was pregnant again. and now I'm into my 33rd week and everything is going well.

everyone will tell you not to worry but its hard not to. but for me at the mo Ive kinda forgotten to worry about every little twinge that i get as something that's going wrong. now i think am i going to go into labour as i know now that if my little girl is born then she will more than likely survive and that's a great feeling.
for me all i did was stress (not too badly) about all the things that could go wrong up until i felt her move. then i didn't stress as much but once i go to 28-30 weeks i just found myself thinking about what would i do if she decided to come early and have i got everything i need.
its hard at first but I'm sure that things will get alto better as time goes on and you see your baby at your scans and then every bump and knock. i thought that this pregnancy was dragging on forever at first but now the end is looming ever closer and im getting so excited.

all i can say to you is all the best and my thoughts and wishes are with you and your baby.

Answer 8

You t will always worry about miscarriages, but life will turn out the way its meant to, you need to relax and take each day at a time. My friend is 18 weeks pregnant and lost a baby at 12 weeks before this one, she still worries about it. You will be fine I am sure!!

Answer 9

Well same thing happened to me. Miscarried on June 29 and got pregnant Aug 7. I am now 33 1/2 weeks. Dont worry about it and stress yourself out. They say alot of women miscarry, if everything isnt just perfect you do. i pray that everything will be fine and that you will have a baby just like im going to. I wish you a healthy pregnancy and goodluck cause its not all fun :)
