Pregnant very soon after mc..

Momofboys • mom of 3 on earth and twins in heaven.. due 4/28/17 after 13 months of infertility..
I miscarried twins on August 2. Ugh it was gut wrenching, emotionally, I felt like my body betrayed me and I was so angry with myself. I was only 6 weeks along so my dr told me to carry on trying if we wanted to. I was blessed to get pregnant again right away. I got my first bfp on sept 2. I am thrilled and I'm about 14 weeks but I am so filled w fear. Every time I use the bathroom I am afraid to look Bc I'll see blood. Any little cramp makes me think it's happening again. I have had terrible morning sickness - so on top of the anxiety I am feeling bc I am afraid I'll mc I have nausea and vomiting 24/7. I have 2 healthy babies and never had any problems w either preg, so the mc was so shocking.. I guess I'm wondering if other ppl have these feelings??

My dr told me some women have a much easier time ttc after a miscarriage bc your cervix is more open ? All I know is I had my daughter in 2009. She is not with my husband. I met my husband in feb 2012, we both hit it off and in April 2012 we stopped using protection as we both wanted a child.. It took me almost a year to get pregnant with my son. I was very careful after I had my son and did not have sex for 2-3 months. I got pregnant w my twins around the time my son was 8 months old, so it took 6 months for me to get preg that time.. However I got pregnant the first ovulation after I lost my babies so I do believe your body is more open to conceive if you try pretty soon after a mc. I hope everything goes super good for you this month and keep me updated on your progress!!!

Steph-I am very sorry for your loss and I am also happy to hear you are pregnant again! I had severe cramping when I was about 4 weeks I thought for sure was another mc but actually was a cyst in my left ovary due to hormones produced to keep the baby alive in the early stages of pregnancy.. So not ever cramp means the worse! I know that's prob not very assuring as I still am constantly checking for blood any time I feel even slightly damp down there and cringing every time I wipe. I try to keep reminding myself that I had 2 healthy babies I can have another - I  am out of the terrible first trimester and the peanut is well. I wish my morning sickness would subside , however recently the dr diagnosed me with hyperemesis gravidarum and excused me from work, so I am assuming as with both other children I'm going to be nauseous till the day I deliver.. Keep me updated on how you progress!! Congratulations!!

I had a miscarriage exactly one month ago today, we decided not to stress about getting pregnant again but to just enjoy each other for a month. We found out today we are expecting again. I am so terrified like you, I don't even want to go to the bathroom and every cramp freaks me out now. I was almost not even excited to see the test this morning because I am so scared.

You are so lucky to be preagnate again and when 12 w pass, you could relax 50%. However, in life, there's never any quarantees. I lost my child 08/26/14 and have not concieved yet. I am also afraid that mc would happen again as I'm 36 and turning 37 in the end of this year. I haven't got my AF this month (due 11/21) but feel like I'm out because of a bacterial infection. I also do not feel any PMS nor pregnancy symptoms that I dif before.. Hoping to be as lucky as you, guys, next week! Beleive in yourself and love. Nature and God will do the rest! :)

Thank u guys for responding. My husband has been thru many miscarriages with his gf prior so his emotional  response to mine was very different than how I responded.. Plus he's a man and for the most part they just process things differently. This will be my last child as hubby and I agree financially we will be at are maximum capacity raising 3. I want to enjoy it! I just celebrated our sons first birthday yesterday and the time .. I don't kno where it went! It just flew. I don't want to spend this entire pregnancy fretting about the worst case scenario, and if God willing, the baby comes healthy and I will have missed out on enjoying the process.. I have my 16 week u/s on Nov 26 when they will check my cervix, and then start my makena shots, I am hoping after that my mind will be at ease if it goes well. Idk why but the makena shots really gave me a peaceful, maternal feeling with my son - maybe the extra hormones or something..

But its only normal. I still have the fear but just not as bad..... praying for a healthy n full term. Xxx
