Pregnant again after a miscarriage?

Question

Hi. I had a miscarriage last month at roughly five weeks. It was just like a normal period really, except a bit more cramping and if I hadn't have done positive pregnancy tests, I'd really have never known. Well, now I've just found out I'm pregnant again. I have symptoms this time (didn't last time)- sore boobs, dizziness, feeling tired and I took a digital pregnancy test this morning which was positive. Trouble is, I just feel absolutely TERRIFIED that I'm going to miscarry again. Just wanted to hear from people who've been in this position and have had successful pregnancies, as I think I need a bit of hope to hang onto at the moment. Thank you xx

Also, have had a few twinges over last few days, not cramps, more like feeling bloated or gassy- best described as like someone's trying to blow up a small balloon inside me. Is this normal?!?

Answer 1

Hi I'm going through the same thing as you i had a early mis-carriage 21st May again like you wouldn't have known if i hadn't took a test, we only waited til the bleeding had stopped and because it had felt like a normal period started trying again and am now 7weeks pregnant I'm scared to death but at the same time think every women even those who haven't just had a miss-carriage are terrified so its normal so don't let it stop you getting excited most first pregnancy's i have heard of end in miscarriage especially after coming off the pill. They nearly always go on to have healthy lovely baby's.
I am tying not to think about the worry and get excited i didn't have time to do that last time just think every week is a milestone think i read the other day that after 12weeks 95% of pregnancys last the full term as my BF says thats good odds.
Good luck fingers crossed for you.

Answer 2

I got pregnant 4 weeks after a miscarriage, and had the same fears...but the second pregnancy felt more "normal"...all the awful pregnancy symptoms. For most women, miscarriage is a fluke--your body's way of flushing out an embryo not developing properly...I know this doesn't help your heart feel better, but it's the truth that can help you relax about the new pregnancy. My "baby" is seven now...it was a totally normal pregnancy, totally normal birth...and I've had three more since then. Let yourself have peace...stress is the worst thing for ANY pregnancy.

Answer 3

they rakon every woman has one or more miscarriages in her life but like you pointed out may have never have even known unless they did an early test. Most women go on to have normal pregnancies after a miscarriage, I did and from the answers you've already got so did lots of other women. Therefore try not to worry too much (easier said than done I know) and enjoy this pregnancy. Goodluck x x

i just had a miscarriage June 2nd but i was 9 weeks and had to have a d&c so i have to wait a couple more months b4 i can try again. but a friend of my moms had 2 miscarriages they were months apart and not related but is now 14 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby. a miscarriage at 5 weeks doesn’t make you any more likely to have another one even if it is so soon. im sure it will work out for you good luck. i know my answer isn’t what you are looking for but i just wanted to say good luck. Also I have a 2 year old son and you will get cramps in a couple weeks they will feel a lot like period cramps it is just your uterus stretching don’t worry

Answer 5

Well I had a misscarraige a few years back and I am now 7 months pregnant. I havent had any problems what so ever. Although I did bleed a little one day in feburary, it wasnt much. I didn't find out I was pregnant until April and i found out I was 4 months pregnant. I am happy I found out then because when I had the miscarraige I was 3 1/2 months along so I had passed that before i even found out. Saved me of some stress! It stresses you out but the trick is to ignore it as much as possible. And once you hit your second trimester all the issues seem to melt away! Just remember everyday that is a good day, is one day closer to seeing your PERFECT baby! So just relax and enjoy the pregnancy!

Answer 6

I have never been pregnant, but I am the living proof that you needn't worry so much. My mother had miscarried before she had me. But she had no problems when she was pregnant with me.
The best way to help your pregnancy is not to stress. But don't stress over not stressing, either, lol. Take it easy, eat well, a lot of veg and fruit, eat your meat well done, don't get tired, stay calm, and everything will turn out fine. many women have a miscarriage in their life, that means nothing!

nothing to really worry about. i had a miscarriage. and now i have had 3 more children after that. sometimes your body just doesn't react right.
you could have done something not knowing you were pregnant and lost it...... but now you know this time. just be careful in everything you do and read up on line about pregnancy and everything will be fine.
