In april/2007 i had a misscarage at 6-7 weeks, then i got pregnant maybe 4 weeks after that. I ended up having a blighted ovum in result of getting pregnant too soon. With both pregnancies i had to have a D&C. Because it wouldnt pass on its own. 8/07 was my last d&C .. Now i am pregnant again. i found out 4 days ago. I am so scared. I mean I really want this baby. I already have a 3 year old son. the pregnancy with him was great. no complications. i have a u/s in december to make sure that this baby is ok..
Any one else with this kind of story. and words of advice?!

Take it easy, rest as much as you can and try not to worry. I lost three pregnancy's, two back to back. The third time I got pregnant was three months after the second loss and she is now 3 and a half. There is nothing you can do but take good care of yourself. Bless you, I hope all goes well and you have a safe and healthy pregnancy!

I have been through the same thing. Back in 2004 I had a miscarriage in September and then a blighted ovum in December. After waiting, I found out I was pregnant again in the summer of 2005 and was so scared out of my mind because I didn't want to lose another pregnancy. Luckily, things went well and I have a beautiful daughter and I am now pregnant again. Just have faith and I will pray that everything goes okay for you. Congratulations.

I had a miscarriage at six weeks Sept 2006 then another at 11 weeks Mar 2007. They thought it was a mole the second time but after doing the d&c the tissue came back negative for a mole.
They did a whole series of blood tests where they drew 19 vials of blood and it turns out I have a gene mutation called PAI 1. (plasminogen activator inhibitor 1...I think that's the term). It is supposed to be fairly common, as many as 40% of woman can be a carrier.
I'm assuming it can lay dormant since I had already carried to girls to full term no problems.
Evidently the mutation causes me to develop blood clots in my uterus when I"m pregnant. I'm now 15 weeks pregnant and they have me on a blood thinner called Lovenox. I give myself a shot in the belly fat every morning. So far so good....like I said I'm 15 weeks and everything seems to be going well. I have another appointment first week of December.
It was heart wrenching the second time. The first time I wasn't too distressed because it was early and I know it's common for women to have at least one miscarriage. I figured it wasn't time yet. But the second pregnancy was pretty disappointing. I got so big so fast and I was really excited because I just knew I was having twins. I went in for my first appointment and they were already dead. The blood clot (that they thought was a mole) had killed them. Broke my heart. I feel terrible too because I missed my first appointment and had to reschedule for my 10 week instead of the 8th and to this day I feel terrible because I wonder if there was something they could have done to stop the blood clot from continueing to form.
So at any rate...I'm still a little nervous from time to time but I feel better knowing they found something. My doctor said it's common practice in most offices to do blood tests after two miscarriages to test for a variety of things...one being the gene mutation.
The one thing that kept me from getting really upset was that I have two healthy girls. I figure if those two are the only children that God chooses to give me then I am blessed already beyond my wildest dreams.
Good luck and pray. That's the only real advice I can give. Trusting God to do what was right for me was the only real comfort I found.
Will be thinking of you and praying that you have a healthy full term baby.

Although I have not gone through this exact situation, I just had my first D&C this morning with my first blighted ovum. My husband and I would like to start trying as soon as we can...after I am healed of course....but your story gives me hope that pregnancy after a blighted ovum is possible. I really pray things go well for you....please keep us posted!

I'm so very sorry for your losses. I had a miscarriage due to a blighted ovum as well. It had nothing to do with the fact that you became pregnant so soon after your first loss, I assure you.
I can totally understand your fears. When I became pregnant again after my loss, I was excited, yet sheer terror hit me. What you are feeling is completely normal.
Try to relax... I know, easier said than done. I wish you all the best with your ultrasound. Hang in there. HUGS...

hugs. I know how scary it is to be pregnant after a miscarriage. There is a 1 in 4 chance of a pregnancy ending in a miscarriage. The odds are in your favor that you will be fine. It's hard not tp stress and worry though. Try your best to relax and go with the flow. Eleviating your stress will help you and the baby. Congrats and good luck

my advice is if this goes badly to lay off the unprotected sex for like 6 months for your stuff to heal so you wont loose the baby.
