Pregnancy after Miscarriage

I tested positive this morning. First time after a missed miscarriage detected at my 12 week scan. I’m trying to be happy and excited (my husband is), but honestly I’m just petrified of losing another baby. Anyone have any advice for getting through the first trimester and beyond after loss? Prayers that my rainbow baby sticks are much appreciated 🌈🫶🏼

Call EPU and book an early 6 week scan, tell them you’ve had spotting and they should prescribe progesterone on the spot if they confirm a viable pregnancy. I’ve since booked a private scan every 2 weeks, to make sure I’m not having another MMC prior to the 12 week one. It sounds excessive but it’s the only thing keeping it real. It’s not easy but tell yourself everyday, ‘today I am pregnant’. There’s nothing else you can do but hold onto that ♥️ Sending lots of love xx

It’s so hard isn’t it. I’m 12 weeks just now after a miscarriage in March and a chemical the October before. For me I’m finding it so hard to face the reality that I am actually pregnant and even being scanned it’s not quite sunk in yet and I don’t think I’ll accept everything is ok until I feel those kicks. The only thing that’s helped me through the weeks is keeping myself super distracted. Not doing what I usually do by getting ahead of myself looking at all things baby and just almost acting like I’m not pregnant. I think my mind would run wild otherwise because when it came to scan day I could of thrown up with the total worry and anxiety of seeing no heartbeat. It’s so so hard to get through just try and remain positive and find things that occupy your mind. Maybe also book an early scan for a little reassurance x best of luck xx

Awhh firstly sending positive and happy happy thoughts for this pregnancy 💕 I’m currently 20 weeks following MMC last November at 12 week scan baby was 11+4 so no part of first trimester I felt safe. I still don’t particularly now I find it hard when people congratulate me cause I should have a 3m old baby now and there’s no guarantees this pregnancy will be a success until baby is safely in my arms. However it does get easier the more milestones and scans you get past. To start with i got in the mindset off I was pregnant till proven otherwise and took each day as it came. 💙🩷

I’ve had two missed miscarriages and honestly even now at 27 weeks it’s still hard. I just took it day by day

Thank you all for sharing your stories. Sending prayers for healthy pregnancies for you all 🤍

It’s very hard being pregnant after loss . I had two . One at 6 weeks another at 17 weeks . And I’m currently 22 weeks pregnant with my double rainbow . I’m still petrified something is going to happen but I’m trying to stay positive x I also have a therapy session which seems to be helping

@Greta I am so sorry for your loss. Sending lots of love 💕
