i’ve just m/c today at 6 weeks. it started off with light spotting yesterday morning, I rushed to the doctor & he said it was nothing to worry about. in the afternoon the bleeding got heavier & I went to the ER, again they told me not 2 worry. this afternoon I started seeing clots & the bleeding got heavier, I knew that my angel was gone. I went to the ER again & my worst fear was confirmed. i’m so devastated right now because I really wanted this baby. i’ve cried my eyes out but I know it will be fine one day.

Hi all,

A little help or advise maybe!!!

I fell pregnant in June 2003 and had a healthy son in March 2004. The following Febuary (2005) i fell pregnant again but lost the baby in April. I bled continuously until August (i was put on pills). I then fell pregnant in the September with identical twins and lost both within days of each other in the November.

Now 5yrs later i’ve had another one. Now think my uterus is diseased!!!

My periods are regular and i am always on time! I was due on Jan 26th (2010) I had 6 pregnancy symptons but again didn’t feel quite right! Then on the Saturday (4 days after my period was due) i had extremly bad cramps in the centre of my lower abdomen and started bleeding (then all my symptons started to go away) . This lasted 3-4 days.

I am convinced with all the symptons etc that i was pregnant. I can’t believe that 5yrs later when all should have been settled that my body has let me down again. I’m 35 now and chances are decreasing!! Don’t know if i can face going through anything again but unfortunately the body clock is still ticking and so are my emotions!!

Can anyone tell me if they experoenced a miscarriage due to the baby’s lymph system not draining correctly?
At my last ultrasaound ( I am 13 weeeks and 2 DAYS) we were told that despite our past ultrasound and the baby having a strong herat beat that I have an 80% chance of miscarrying this baby. If the swelling doesn”t reduce remarkably within 2 weeks,,,,they are suggesting that I undergo an amnicentis to find out why this happened, to help us with future pregnancies.
We remarked that would take the 2 weeks to decide and pray for a miracle, but was told that science was a better thing to believe in.
Does anyone have any information about the build of fluid around a baby’s neck, spine and tummy due to the lymph system not draining? Any info or statistics would be benefical.
Thank you so much, and my thoughts are with all of you who have lost a child.

Hi I’m 20 years old and experienced a m/c in December 3 days after Christmas I was 10 weeks. It was my first m/c with my first pregnancy. I can say that it was the most horrible thing that I have experienced in my life.
I never had any cramps or any pains what so ever just woke up the Monday morning went to the toilet and saw that I was bleeding but it was lightly. Called my fiancé from work and told him we had to go to the hospital. I had no fear in me but I just thought let me rather be safe than sorry. As soon as he came we went to the hospital and I got checked out immediately and they informed me that I had miscarried.
A week later I had gone back to get my test results and found out that it was a lack of hormone growth which was something that nearly all my family members had gone through. All the doctor had told me was to start taking a folic acid to improve my hormone growth so that when I do decide to fall pregnant again it decreases the risk of another m/c, he as well told me if I liked I could start immediately trying to fall pregnant. What I have learnt from this whole ordeal is to trust that God does have a plan for you.
Wish all the best to everybody going through and who has gone through this ordeal.

God bless

I misccaried at 10 weeks the day after New Year’s. I had been spotting for a few days but didn’t worry too much b/c every book that I had read stated that light spotting was nothing to be concerned about, especially around the time that you would normally have your period. Well that wasn’t the case with me. New Year’s eve I realized that the spotting was becoming heavier and became concerned. This continued on to New Year’s day and then January 2nd I began to bleed as if I was having a heavy period. Ironically I was at TARGET purchasing maternity clothes.

I rushed home and headed straight for the bathroom only to have my nightmare confirmed. I had a huge clot right there and I knew that by baby was gone. I really didn’t want to go to the ER b/c I felt like there was no purpose. I knew nothing could be done but my husband insisted that I go. The doctors told me that it was most like due to chromosomal abnormality.

It’s been a little over a week and I have my days, some good and some bad. I know time will make things easier but it’s a rollercoaster ride right now. Some days I want to try and get pregnant right away and then other days I just want to wait for a while. This past pregnancy was definitely not planned but my husband and I were very excited and happy.

I also miscarried on Christmas morning after spotting on Christmas day. I was woken up by very strong cramps and bleeding and knew what was happening. I was nine weeks pregnant and felt great the whole time. Since I am 39 I knew that my chances to m/c would be higher and I thought I was prepared but my emotions have taken me by surprise. I have been on a roller coaster ride of tears and anger that rushes over me every few days. My doctor luckely was very understanding as he removed remaining tissue to make sure I would not end up with an infection. My emotions are still out of whack and they seem to attack me in waves. I am glad I found this site to help me process all my sadness and fears. I hope we will be able to have a child.

I’m laying here in bed feeling absolutely crushed. I just experienced my first miscarriage which started on Christmas eve. Initially, I didn’t want to believe that it was happening because there was no pain at all. However, when I woke up on Christmas day I knew that my precious baby was gone. The tingling in my breasts was gone…overnight! After that there was pain, contractions, cramping and more pain. I am appauled at the attitudes of the medical providers that treated me. Today, the ER physician removed the remnants of the fetus and dropped it in a cup in front of me. I was speechless. My husband and I have been crying our eyes out for 5 days now but hopefully the worst is behind us. We tried to get pregnant for over a year so we are simply devastated that it ended this way. I thank GOD for my precious 2 year old but I will never forget the angel that I lost this Christmas. We will try again soon. Thank you for this site. Be blessed.

This is a wonderful site that has helped me when I needed it most. I am grateful to everyone that has shared their stories of their precious angels. I am currently lying in bed alone once again waiting & praying for it not to happen for the 3rd time in 3 years. I started bleeding a few days ago and once again went to the Dr and was told it was a “Threatened Miscarriage” and to go home and see what happens. My first thought was WOW, what did I ever do that was so bad to deserve another loss. I’ve been married for a little over 3 years now and my family has not spoke to me since. Our life is unusual to begin with because we travel all year long because my husband has a trained animal act so our RV is our home. SO I havent had the chance to make any new friends due to us being in a different city practically every week or so. So this site has been my only support in going thru the loss of 2 and now possibly 3 precious gifts from God. My hisband never wanted kids but knew i did so he waited until after our marriage to say so. We eventually agreed on waiting five years which was ok with me. But God had other plans & 3 months into our marriage we got pregnant. Thats when I first realized just how badly I wanted to be a mother. I mean I always knew that I wanted children but as soon as I saw that positive sign on that stick it was as if my whole world, wants & needs changed. But the excitement was very short lived because as soon as I told my husband he became very angry with me. As if I had done it on purpose. I cried for 2 weeks sraight and by the 3rd week after finding out I was with child I miscarried. My world went completely dark and I still have not been able to stop blaming myself or all of the “what if” thoughts that haunt me in my dreams every night. I was a different person after that and it was never spoke about since. I cried and tried to talk to my husband but he said,well it was for the best because we agreed on 5 years. He just didnt get it and didnt even want to try and understand or help me thru my feeling of sorrow for the loss of my child or the trauma of having to go to an abortion clinic to have everything removed. I remember sitting in this room with about 15 other women and thinking why? I wanted my baby and thses women are sitting in here with precious babies inside of them with heartbeats & life that they have chosen for one reason or another couldn’t have. I remember when they called me back to put the IV in because I wanted to be asleep during it. I didnt want to hear, feel or see them remove my angel whose heart beat was the only memory I had left except for the one that I cant seem to forget, the memory of the nurse then Dr not being able to find it again. So I needed to not “be there” while they removed a piece of me. When I woke up I immediately began crying and asking for my baby, if
they were able to save him or her. Clearly the meds they gave me did not help because I know they could not save a 9 week old fetus that had passed at 7 weeks but I still cried for my child and still do. Life was never the same after that until October 07 when once again we were pregnat. But thank God that pregnacy went perfect with the love of my life coming into this world on July 4,2008 at *:26 am weighing in at a hefty 8lbs 6 ounces. Thats love, the greatest most purest and most beautiful love that anyone could ever be blessed to receive. All of a sudden my dark world became bright again.He’s perfect! He’s so happy and loving 24/7 and everyday I thank the Lord above for him. But sometimes when were playing and he’s laughing or just comes and gets in my lap I cant help but think of my other angels, if they would have been a boy or girls, who they would look like and their scent. you know how babies have that new baby scent that you just want to soak up. so my precious son help me heal a little and then when he was 6 mths old it happened again. This time I didnt even know I was with child and it just happened really quickly and fast at home.Its an awful thing to actually have something fall out of you and you have no clue what it is and then once you look closely and realize oh my god thats my child. that has traumatized me forever. I dropped to my knees and tried to pick it all up and was hysterical it was just plain awful and no one should ever have to thru that. And here I am again lying in bed just waiting. Sorry for such long post but hearing everyone else’s stories has helped me more than words could express. Thank you for letting me know that I’m not alone in this,

Hello,

I had my m/c with my first pregnancy. We had to have a D&C on 10/21/09. For some reason my body was not passing the baby. And I am pregnant again. I am 5 weeks give a day or two. I did not expect to get pregnant again, because I was a fertility patient. So I was very surprized. I have not gotten over my first lost and I am terrified I will lose this one. So far my levels are going up, but I just feel so scared.
I am glad I found this site, it really helps with things.
