Pregnant Again, After Miscarriage and Worried!!!

[BrittanyCasey]

For those of you that have been replying to my posts, you will know that I recently had a miscarriage, At the beginning of november. Me and my fiancee yesterday found out that I am exactly one month pregnant! I lost my last baby when I was only a few days under 6 weeks. I'm so terrified for that too happen again, That I dont even want to go to the doctor until I'm atleast 3 months. Is there any advice or anything? Were both soooo excited but terrified at the same time!
Please help!!

Thankyou all for your advice, I have a doctors appointment for next week. I'll let everyone know how it goes! :)

I completely agree with Tangled.  Yes, it is scary to see a doctor based on your history but there are cases where a MC is caused by a specific medical event which can be prevented with appropriate medication.

Hello and congrats on the pregnancy!
I just wanted to HIGHLY advise you NOT to wait until month 3 before being seen by a doctor. Sometimes women have miscarriages due to too low a level of the hormone Progesterone. This is especially true in women with conditions like PCOS. (which I have) But it can happen to any woman. If your progesterone level is too low you cannot sustain a pregnancy, but it you have a simple blood test and find this out early on in your pregnancy the doctor can give you progesterone supplements to keep your pregnancy and prevent a miscarriage. Many women don't know this info and don't know to discuss this with their doctor. There are women who suffer mulitple miscarriages before finding out their progesterone level was the culprit. Some doctor's don't even think of checking this out as a cause! So do yourself a big favor and just go to the doc and ask that he test your level. If it turns out your progesterone is just fine, great! No harm done. But if I were you I would at least rule that out. Obviously miscarriages happen for many other reasons, but this is one thing that can help prevent one.

Good luck!

Congrats on the new pregnancy! I suffered a m/c last year, so I know the fear of becoming pregnant again, but you really need to see a doctor as soon as possible. Just because you have had a previous m/c doesn't mean you will have one again. I am now 28 weeks along and baby is doing great! Try to remain positive and take everything one day at a time. I'm sure all will turn out well for you and your little one. :)
