Baby after a missed miscarriage, what did you do differently?

Question

Still figuring out why I had mine. Prior to me getting pregnant I was on the pill and energy pills (yes I know bad). But I was extremely stressed to where I don't know why I got off the pill and now feel terrible of what has happened. Debating when to get pregnant again?

Answer

While it is possible that something you were doing contributed to the miscarriage, it’s much more likely that the baby you lost had genetic or chromosomal issues that made him incompatible with life. Most miscarriages are caused by this. The baby had some problem during development and couldn’t continue to grow. It’s very sad, but please don’t blame yourself. I had a miscarriage Christmas of 2020 and met my rainbow baby in February of 2022. I didn’t do anything differently, but my Christmas baby wasn’t ready to be in this world with me. You can try again when you feel ready, and that time is different for everyone. Don’t let anyone else tell you how to feel!

Answer

Its extremely unlikely that anything you did caused a missed miscarriage. You shouldnt blame yourself. I had one and while I dont know for sure what caused it the doctor says it is highly likely it was genetic. Something to do with the babies chromosones not developing as they should

Answer

I’ve had a full panel of blood work done multiple times, I’ve had mine and my fiancés karyotypes tested, I’ve had a sonohysterogram to check my uterus, and I’ve been on thyroid medication for a year because I have slight hypothyroidism and my doctor is pretty sure that’s what was causing all the miscarriages. I’m pregnant again and things are going smoother than they ever have so fingers crossed! I’m also on vaginal progesterone and baby aspirin “because it can’t hurt” although my doctor doesn’t believe those will do anything.

Answer

It's most likely nothing you did. The chance of having 2 miscarriages in a row is something like 2% and 1% for 3 plus. I had 3 miscarriages in a row and just realized I had an infection this whole time. I just found out I'm pregnant again, and I hope this will be the one that lives.

Answer

It’s nothing you did. I had 2 miscarriages before I had my first daughter in 2018
