mc's..from what I heard....

[keepthefaithx]

i heard that like 85 percent of women have healthy babies after a miscarraige.

so why do i hear SOOO much about reoccurant miscarriages??

like if you have a reoccurant miscarriage is there a problem you have that has already been detected in the loss of your first????

like are you completely healthy and it just happend, or you were diagnosed w something.


when i went to the ob she told me i was completely healthy did ovarie scans, blood work etc. she said it was just a freak thing that happend....


what were you told after your first mc..

thank you all

They didn't test anything because it was my first, but my dr. said too that there's like an 80% chance I'll have a healthy pregnancy within 6 months of my loss. Hopefully she's right...

 

[jennajul2001]

when I had my mc at 16 wks , my cervix was open and the membranes were bulging out, it was too late as I was allready in labour. I was told at my follow up apt a month later that I had an infection that sent me into preterm labour. So if I get pregnant again they will check me to make sure i have no infections early.

i had my 2nd m/c in a row at 12.5wks and got the same story. they told me that after 2 m/c's in a row there is a 75% chance of a normal, healthy pg the next time. but after 3 in a row the chances go down significantly and that's when they look into further testing. they didn't do any tests on our baby, just the normal blood work.

although...i have pcos and that puts you at higher risk for infertility/m/c, so that would explain ours. i think if you don't have any other issues your chances are pretty good for a h&h pg next time around

 

[confusedprego]

They didn't do any tests on our baby, and I only had my thyroid tested (which came back normal). My doctor told me that because it was our first baby/first pregnancy that the insurance company wouldn't pay to test it because most likely everything will be fine the next time.

So hopefully next time it will be fine for all of us!!

I also think that you start hearing about miscarriages as soon as you go through one because you're so in tune to that sort of thing. I feel like I had never met/known anyone that had gone through a miscarriage and now I hear about it all the time.

 

[beautifuloaks]

I can say the same....I thought I was alone, I didn't know anyone who had had a miscarriaage until I had one. It's a a lot more common then I thought,, even within my own family that I didn't know about.

 

[jessy1101]

Same!! I mean sure i knew a few people that had a miscarriage but since having one it's crazy how many people who are friends and family that had 1

I was told that mine was due to a malformation with the baby. The fetus died at 7 or 8 weeks but my hormones kept producing like normal and kept it in until 11 weeks when i had my natural mc. My doctor said that if it would of been something wrong with my body i would never of been able to keep my hormones up for so long and keep it in.

Here's to hoping the next one goes fine 'sigh' it's just hard not worrying about it

 

[Twinkie210]

My doctor said that he thinks I will have a healthy full term pregnancy next time too, that my loss was most likely due to a chromosone problem. Since I have already had one healthy pregnancy I know that I can carry a baby to term, I just hope that it happens soon!

 

[keepthefaithx]

twinkie my dr said the same!

i still get nervous tho u know...UGH trying to be positive!!!!

 

[korink26]

I actually looked back on my notes and my Dr. said there's a 90% chance we'd have a healthy pregnancy within 6 months of our loss. I question how she'd know with such certainty, but I'll choose to believe.

 

[chirizma]

not sure exctly when our angel died, but the M/C was at what should have been 7wks 5dys. My OB told us, after she confirmed we were going to TTC again. That she had no doubt I would get pregnant quickly and carry to term.

A little back story, so you might undersand why my OB was so confident. I have 4 other children, this was my 5th pregnancy and first M/C.

 

[RosesOfTin]

I lost my baby at 9wks 2dys after fighting Swine Flu around the time of conception. My doctor was confident that it was due to the swine flu as everything bit of me seems perfectly normal (IE: ovaries, uterus etc) he is keen on possibly trying progesterone next time as I started spotting/bleeding a week before I MCd. OB/GYN's been pushing me to try again for the last nearly 3 years. We're finally going to try again come Christmas time.

Awww, you OB/GYN shouldn't be pushing you to try again if you not ready! Good Luck! That would be the best Christmas present ever!

Prolly a different situation with us but we weren't given much hope that it would happen again soon. We were told if it was possible to happen once it could happen again it would just quite possibly take a while. By before getting pregnant naturally we were told without medical intervention it wouldn't happen (short of a miracle sent straight from god - Urologists words not mine). So these days I'm pretty upset and hopeless. I wish I could have heard comforting words from out doctors about future conception.

 

[jessy1101]

WTF your Urologist told you that???? Want me to go down there and give him a good kick in the ass?"?"??!!!

 

[Twinkie210]

Jenni- It happened once it can happen again!

You and I? We think a lot a like. But it hasn't just been the OB/GYN pushing. Seems like every force in my life has been pushing a bit and I've resisted this long... And then one day I woke up and was like "I'm going to have a baby. That's it. I'm tired of living under a rock and avoiding all things baby."

I even freely admit to looking at baby clothing and being sorely tempted to buy this ADORABLE knit shawl from the The Place. I'm horribly clucky and I agree it would be the most amazing Christmas Gift ever.

THIS guy sincerely needs the ass kicking that was offered. If needed I can add some of my own Southern flair to said ass kicking. You WILL have your baby.

When someone tells me no about a natural function I always remember Malcolm in Jurassic Park (1st movie, the Chaotician played by Jeff Goldbloom) when he said "nature always finds a way"... it was a bit more dramatic then that, but you get the idea. You'll see! Copious amounts of Sticky Baby dust to you!

I agree rosesoftin
