I can't believe I'm here.....

So sorry to hear your news, I just wanted to say that I'm sure you don't need to make a decision about what you want to do with baby straight away. I have had 4 mc and although they were all earlier than yours at about 9 weeks we have buried them in a children's area in our local cemetery. My 4th mc was last week and the remains are still in the hospital where they will keep them until we arrange the funeral.
Everyone is different in deciding what they want to do but it might be worth asking the hospital (the PALS lady at our hospital has dealt with ours) to keep it until you feel that you can make a decision.
We have other children and go to the grave every year which we all find helpful to remember our babies that didn't make it.
Hope that helps, just take care xx

I think I may be joining you, a quick question

Hi really sorry to hear about your bleeding. I had my 4th mc last week so it hasn't been long since I went through your anxiety and wish I could make the time until the scan go more quickly for you.
I hardly had any pain with any of my mc either but I really hope things work out for you xx

Birthday but no baby

I am just feeling a bit sorry for myself today - the baby that I miscarried in March was due today on my 40th Birthday and I can't help but think how different things could have been. I don't think it would have been so bad if I'd have still been pregnant with the one I miscarried last week but I haven't got that one to look forward to now either.
Three of my best friends have all had babies in the last 6 weeks with the last one arriving on Sunday and although I am really pleased for them it would have been nice if I had had mine too.

Back with more bad news

Thanks mummy mog - although we want to try again straight away we are trying to be sensible and wait for our blood results so we will start trying again next month.
I'm so glad you talked to your OH and that you are going to try again.Hopefully we will both soon have good news.
Keep in touch xx

Thanks for all your kind words.

Well we went to see our consultant today who was going to do our 8 week scan. He was very kind - but thinks that my body is fighting the babies and just as your immune system gets more effective in fighting infection, my body will get better at fighting the babies which isn't wonderful news. However, I am having a special blood test next week which might show if this is happening then he might be able to give me something to fight it.
We also had chronnsome tests which isn't as likely to be the problem as we already have 3 healthy children.
It definately helped to see him and will be interesting to see if the results show anything.
However, I wish it had been my 8 week scan instead xx

Back with more bad news

Thanks for your replies. I went to A&E yesterday as I am on steroids (to prevent mc!!!) and wass told that if I did mc they would send the fetus for testing. My HCG levels were too low for my dates and I passed the fetus today so that is another pregnancy over.

Babs 4, thanks for telling me about your friend, I am nowhere near ready to give up yet and am still hopeful that I will have another baby at some time.

JoJoMummy thanks, I remember you too and look forward to hearing about your next home water birth .

Michelle07 Congratulations on the birth of your daughter (and especially the wonderful home water birth) and what a lovely name xx

more than 4 mc anyone?

thanks for your replies ladies - each time I have had any bleeding during pregnancy it has been a mc. I went to A&E yesterday as I have been on steroids this time supposedly to prevent mc! My HCG levels were too low for my dates and I passed the fetus this afternoon so that is another pregnancy over.

As you say baby on board, we will pick ourselves up and try again. I see it as a game of snakes and ladders now and keep ending up back at the start.

Z - I know how scary it is but just keep going as many times as you can/have to. I'll be watching out for some good news xx

Want to try again once bleeding stopped...

Hi I had 2 mc in 2006 straight after each other then fell pregnant straight away again and had my daughter,
I had another mc in March this year and we waited purely because we had a big touring holiday planned for the end of August and if I had been pregnant I would have been the same weeks I have miscarried with the others and didn't want to go through that in the States. We got back and I unexpectedly found that I was pregnant but have now miscarried again.
We will start trying straight away - I will be 40 in 2 weeks and don't have time to wait.
As others have said the only reason they tell you to wait is for dating so if you are ready, go for it and hopefully we will all have good news soon xx

I need some support and know that this is the forum to get it from

I haven't been on here since March when I had my 3rd mc and was hoping to be back with good news - we weren't going to start trying again until we got back from a busy touring holiday in the States at the end of August but 2 days after we got back I unexpectedly found that I was pregnant - we were thrilled!

But for the last few hours I have had bleeding and period pains and am pretty sure that I am losing this little one at 7 weeks.

Am I just being greedy wanting another baby when I already have 3 healthy wonderful children?
I just can't stop wanting a 4th child and also don't want my last pregnancy to be a mc as I will always wonder about the baby if it had survived.

We are fortunate to get pregnant easily (well up until now but I will be 40 in 2 weeks) but I just want to have one more successful pregnancy.

I feel really miserable at the moment knowing that we will have to start from the beginning again,

more than 4 mc anyone?

I am 7 weeks pregnant and a couple of hours ago started to get some pink blood, back ache and a few period pains so having already had 3 mc, I pretty well know the score and what is ahead.

I really want another child so we will try again but I just don't know how many more times I can go through this.
Has anyone had 4 or more mc (I did have a baby between 2nd and 3rd mc) then gone on to have a baby?

I hate the way that one minute everything seems to be ok then the next minute you know it's all over.
Thanks
