Question

Likelihood of a second miscarriage?

Hi Ladies,

I have recently found out that, only 4 weeks after I miscarried at 6 weeks, I am lucky enough to have fallen pregnant again. I would estimate I'm about 4 weeks. I am so, so happy, but on the other hand I am plagued by this feeling that I'll miscarry again. Any words of wisdom greatly appreciated? Much love x

Just relax and try not to stress. I miscarried then had #1, than had 2 mc, than had #2 , than #3. I am now 5.3 wks pregnant. Because mc is so common they usually won't test to find out the reason til after #3. But most common reason for early mc is it's not viable. There is nothing you can do to change it. As far as this one try to relax as stress can effect it. Take it easy as much as possible for now. GL

Only about 1% of couples TTC will experience recurrent miscarriages. So your chances to have a healthy and normal pregnancy are high. All the best.

this may seem harsh but this was said to me when I was in your position and was speaking to someone about my same fears of the pregnancy not sticking again and she said "no one wants to stay in a house that keeps telling them they might die" and it literally struck me, how true it was. I know now that when I am blessed again and I will be that I need to just trust in the big plan of things. Hope this helps you to relax :)

I've fallen pregnant immediately following miscarriage twice. First miscarriage at 6 weeks fell pregnant immediately after and gave birth to healthy identical twins. Last year I miscarried at 10 weeks needing a D&C, ovulated 2 weeks after D&C and got pregnant again, gave birth to a healthy baby boy in January. Relax.

I am kind of in your shoes. I miscarried in July and we are trying again, hopefully will find out we are pregnant in the next week. I am scared to death of losing that baby too BUT I know that God has a plan and through this last miscarriage, I am a stronger person. Momtom is right though, only about 1% of couples have back to back miscarriages... the odds are in our favor! I have even read that getting pregnant quickly after a miscarriage is a GREAT thing. Congrats and good luck!!!
