Pregnant after miscarriage!

Question

Hi again everyone!
As you all know from following my profile within the past few months, that I did end up miscarrying my 3rd pregnancy. My d&c was on May 17, 2012. My husband and I were not even trying to have another baby just yet since I had just miscarried. However, July 4, 2012 around approximately 8wks after my surgery, I found out I am now 5wks pregnant!!! I am so excited and couldn't be happier. I am also scared too since my last pregnancy ended in failure at 8wks pregnant. I am walking on pins and needles until I am out of the woods. Once I know I am past the stages of miscarriage I will most likely be less stressed. I am trying not to stress, but it is very difficult not to be scared of the same thing happening again. Has anyone else been in this situation and could you tell me what your results were? Did you have a successful pregnancy or another miscarriage? Is there any other precautions I could take to help prevent or lessen my chances of another miscarriage? I know there is no way to actually prevent or stop a miscarriage from happening if it is meant to happen. I just want to make sure I am doing absolutely everything possible that I can to save my pregnancy and have my baby. Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. 
Thanks!

Glad you are doing well this morning! I think you are going to be fine. I agree that it is frustrating when some women get pregnant that don't want kids or can't take care of them. What can you do? Let's just be the best Mothers we can be and hope that are children can help those kids that don't have good home lives.

Well, before going to bed last night I realized that I had stopped bleeding and cramping. I was feeling a great deal of relief FINALLY! I woke up this morning and still no bleeding or cramping. I hope the worst is over and my pregnancy is safe. Good luck to you too! And I know what you mean when you say good mothers can't have kids and mothers who don't want to have them every day. I have a cousin who is exactly like that. She doesn't deserve to be a mother. My mom raises her kids and when she just wants to show that she has kids so she can get money she comes back to my mom and takes them back. All 3 of them. She even got pregnant again (or at least she said she did) but told my mom when she has the baby for her to come to the hospital to get it cuz she doesn't want it. I just can't believe how some people are. It just amazes me!

Hi There,

I just logged in and saw you responded. I hate that you are spotting. I know it is hard to stay optimistic but hang in there a few days. At 5 weeks some cramping is normal and some women spot. I know it could also mean miscarriage but it could also be nothing. I will pray for you! Did they check your progesterone levels? Sometimes the bleeding can be from low progesterone. Just curious if they did that.
xoxo

Hi. Thanks for responding to my post. Unfortunately, I woke up this morning with some cramping and then began spotting light pink blood. Then it got a bit darker, but nothing like it was with my last miscarriage. I am terrified right now and honestly don't know what to do. I don't want to lose another baby and I keep questioning myself on why it's happening or what did I do wrong this time? I went to the ER they checked my hcg levels which were at 6,000 he said that was good. However, the ultrasound showed my gestational sac was really low. He said I was in the early stages of a miscarriage. My heart dropped. I called my husband and while on the phone with him the Dr came back in and told me that just because the sac was low doesn't mean it's necessarily a miscarriage. He said it could mean I am just really early and to go see my OB in 2 days to have my hcg checked again. He said if my hcg goes up then it's ok, but if not then prepare myself. I am so scared. I hope I didn't jinx myself. Good luck to you and please pray for me and my lil one. 
Thanks again!

I had a miscarriage in January and I'm pregnant again now too. I'm 8-1/2 weeks. I understand how you are feeling. It can be very nerve wrecking. All I can say is that it gets easier every day. I know all of the statistics and we only have a slightly higher chance of miscarrying again. The odds are actually in your favor for a HEALTHY pregnancy. So, hold on to that and try to be optimistic. I actually feel pretty confident now. 
Keep eating healthy and staying active. Good luck to us both! :)
