Can anyone help me? I have 3 healthy children, twins who are 7 and a 3 year old. I would like one more child, but have had 3 miscarriages in a row. My 1st I was 13 weeks along, and had seen a healthy heart beat at 8 weeks via ultrasound. I did not bleed or cramp when the baby died, and had a D&C. The 2nd I was 8 weeks along, and wasn't sick, so I knew something was wrong. I bled and passed it on my own. The 3rd I was 15 weeks. The baby looked fine at both 8 weeks and 12 weeks! My doctor did an ultrasound both times. Again, as with the 1st I did not bleed or cramp at all. I have a D&C scheduled in a couple of days. I am 31 years old, have never had any health problems, and never had any complications with my previous pregnancies. (They have also all been with the same father.) I workout regularly, but with this last pregnancy I did not even workout "just in case". I would still love another one, but I don't know if I can emotionally go through any more of this! I also get very sick with my pregnancies, and was sick with both the 1st and the 3rd. I don't know if I should continue or throw in the towel. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Thanks.
I am also 31 and wanting to have a third child. I have an 8 and 3 year old and just had to have a d and e done 6 weeks ago due to a birth defect. Just wanted you to know I understand your frustration. Have your dr. run a test to make sure all of your levels are right before you try again. Good luck...:-)
