How Long After.....

[davidswife102007]

I need answers I am scared and this was my first pregnancy.I just lost my baby.It stopped growing at 6w 5d.we had 2 u/s done and they never found the heartbeat.I had a d&c done because going through 2 weeks of heartache and worry I didn't think I could pass it by myself and it had already started. I was cramping and spotting. So I had to go to the Er.  How long after you had your m/c did you get pregnant again and is your baby ok now? Is there any hope of me having a healthy baby at all?

It is definitely possible to have a healthy baby after a miscarriage.  My mom had a m/c but then had my brother and me.  My grandmother had at least one m/c but had 12 children!  And my aunt had several m/c but had 3 daughters.  I had a m/c 3 years ago.  The baby had a heartbeat up until 8 1/2 wks.  But I had been spotting and bleeding for 2-3 weeks up until then.  I was not emotionally ready to try again for several months.  Then it was a long while before we got pregnant.  (I'm just now 21 wks.)  Yes, it has made me paranoid about everything.  I worry too much that something awful is going to happen, and it has made it take a lot longer for me to get excited about the baby because I'm always afraid something will happen and I will lose it.  But it is well worth it and I'm glad to have the opportunity to be carrying this little one.  Sorry this is so long!

I am very sorry for your loss. In 2003 I had the same happen I was 12 weeks and the baby stopped at 9 weeks. I know how hard it is for you. I also know how hard it will be when you get pregnant again worrying over every little thing. I would not let my husband "try" for exactally 3 months after my D&C and we got pregnant first try*!!! She is now a beautiful healthy 3 1/2 year old and I think about the other baby that I lost, but sadly if I hadnt lost my baby I would not have my daughter. When your time is right you will make peace with your loss. But you will never forget. Best wishes for you! Baby dust
