Hi everyone!

I have just joined the Glow community, following my second major miscarriage last week. My partner and I have been TTC for two years now, and are feeling like every time we get anywhere it all goes wrong. I have an 11 year old son from a previous relationship, so don't think I have any problems.

Since July last year we have had a missed miscarriage at 7 weeks (which wasn't discovered until our 12 week scan), three miscarriages at 4-5 weeks (miscarriages or misconceptions?), and then last week we discovered we had lost our son at our 20 week scan - I was induced two days later, and he was born with his cord wrapped around his neck three times. It had cut off its own blood supply.

We have both agreed that we want to try again as soon as we can, but as much as I want to have another baby, I am absolutely terrified of what will happen next time. I don't know if I can go through this a third time, and I know I am going to be jumpy and paranoid through every stage of the pregnancy.

I would love to hear any happy stories from people in a similar situation! How do people stay positive while they try? How do you control the fear of recurrent losses? I would love to hear anything people are willing to share, really.

Good wishes to everyone!

Alex.
