Advice and support

So today I found out I’m pregnant again, I was pregnant this time last year as well but the day of my first doctor’s appointment we found out there was no heartbeat and I was miscarrying. I had already lost the embryo but the gestational sac was still growing, this is called a blight pregnancy. They gave me the option of having it surgically removed or passing the sac by myself, just let my body do its job. I went with letting my body do its job and I miscarried the rest of the sac about 2 weeks later a few days before Christmas. I say all of this to say, although I’m excited about being pregnant, I’m scared out of my mind that it’s going to be the same thing or just miscarry in general. Last time we told our family and friends and it was devastating having to relive it every time I saw someone I’d told we were expecting. Having to tell them I was no longer pregnant. So this time my husband & I have decided to wait until we’re in the “safe zone” to tell family and friends. I’m just wondering if any other Mamas can relate and if you have any advice as to how I can try to stay positive and be happy about this new pregnancy.

Show your support

@Katherine thank you for this. I really appreciate it, and I’ll definitely be reaching out ♥️

Im sorry for your loss. I just came to say I'm having a similar experience, my third loss (miscarriage) was December last year and now 5/6 weeks pregnant. I need that mantra too so thank you @Katherine I am tempted to tell close friends for the support, I would tell them if I miscarried, but I can't cope with their excitement

@Rach I’m sorry for your loss as well. I feel the same way, wanting to tell atleast someone for the support but am not ready for how excited they’ll be

Hey lovely, Congratulations! If I can offer any support at all, I have had three miscarriages since having my daughter and also suffered a quite scary ectopic pregnancy with right tube removal in July this year. I somehow got pregnant again and I am currently 6 weeks (nearly 7). I contacted the EPU who did an early scan for me on Thursday and I got to see the tiny tiny heartbeat. I’m still feeling shocked and taking every day as it comes. Anyone who has experienced loss knows exactly how you feel and that fear of seeing blood or there not being anything there is another level of anxiety. I wish I could say I’m excited, but I think it’s a protection thing where I’m concerned the worse will still happen. My advice would be to just take every day as a blessing. You are pregnant now and how amazing is that! Keep distracted (which I know is so hard). I have told some of my family because of my past experiences. I’m keeping everything crossed for you 🙏🤞 x
