I just suffered from a miscarriage about a week ago. I was only 2-3 weeks preg when it happened, but I’m worried about what caused it and if there was anything I could have done to prevent it.
The doctor said it is very common and happens about 50% of the time, but that number seems too high to me, because all around me I see women getting pregnant and having babies left right and centre. I don’t see anyone else having a miscarriage (I suppose not all would share this but still). Most women seem to get pregnant so easily.
Has anyone else had a miscarriage the first time they got pregnant? If so, what did you do differently the second time to have a healthy successful pregnancy?
The odd thing is we weren’t even planning to have a baby this soon, it was an accident, but when I discovered I was pregnant and 1 week later miscarried, I was devastated and now I’m anxious to start trying again in 3 months because God Forbid I don’t want the same thing to happen again.
It is very common. Many of the women i've known from my mother's generation, all had at least one miscarriage.....some even had stillborns.
I was told that when its very early on (before 3 months?), it usually did not form properly and it was nature's way of expelling it i guess...
I've had two early miscarriages. It is indeed very common and happens when an improperly formed egg or sperm can't develop into a fetus. There really is nothing you can do to prevent it, you can only move on and try again.
How long should you wait if a miscarriage happens this early on?? I had one about a month ago and I was 6 weeks along....and it was my first time too and unplanned too... :/
Then I was very anxious the following month BUT when I went to see my doctor she suggested I wait....
I'm so sorry to hear that ladies.
Choozy and CA, I haven't heard of a SINGLE mother in recent times who has NOT had a miscarraige. In fact, it's so common that now a days people say that be prepared for it, mentally and physically. Having said that, almost everyone I know has had a healthy baby the second or third time around. Friends have said that it's best to wait a few months before trying. Wish you the best :-)
okkk..this is the kinda thing that worries me..can someone tell me how did u know u mc? did u bleeed heavily?
Some find out when they start spotting......
I found out after I had my first ultrasound.
I dont know how it is with other women, but I was told i can either have a D&C or wait for it to occur naturally. i was told a natural miscarriage is slightly heavier than a regular period with slight cramping---that was a major lie.
Miscarriages are quite common ,I had one too.But depending upon how many weeks pregnant you are if you are 6 or 7 weeks its heavy bleeding but if you are 12 weeks pregnant then its really hard too much bleeding with labor kind of pains.
I miscarried my first pregnancy at just under 11 weeks. I decided on a natural miscarriage and that night I had really bad pains and cramping which I later realised were actual contractions.
It is very common and there is nothing you can do prevent it. Almost every woman I know has gone through this, some several times.
I think the docs advise you wait 1 or 2 months so that your cycles regulate and they can time things more accurately in your pregnancy.
Don't forget to take your Folic Acid. You should take it a few months before you start trying so the benefits can build up in your body..
I also miscarried my first pregnancy....and now about one half year later I THINK I"M PREGNANT AGAIN!!! I've missed my period...I've heard that I have to wait some days....then I can do a pregnancy test..is that true??
My miscarriage was very painful...but I'm over it now!!
mc is a uterus s natural way of expelling a baby which is not of good quality or genetic make up wasnt right, so console urself with the fact that u wud not have wanted god forbid an unhealthy baby. and pray for the next time, we r in the same boat.
