I have had a couple of miscarriages previously and it looks like I am having a third - bleeding since yesterday morning, blood tests to come this week, but really doesn't look good. I am pretty OK with it, obviously not happy about it but I have two beautiful kids and falling pregnant is not an issue for me so I am actually pretty lucky in the greater scheme of things.

I have a quick question that I was hoping someone else who has had a miscarriage before could help me with. TMI warning! I didn't really bleed at all with either of my first two miscarriages - one it just never happened, and the other was a D&C but this one is quite different.

How long has the bleeding lasted for other people, was it kind of like your period?

Thanks in advance... ]]> Miscarriage Jayne http://forum.birth.com.au/miscarriage/99282-miscarriage-question.html http://forum.birth.com.au/miscarriage/99264-could-i-have-miscarried-again.html Sat, 04 Sep 2010 07:39:27 GMT Hi everyone, My name is Sarah.

My name is Sarah. I am new here and I just want to ask a question to see if anyone has had anything similar.


I fell pregnant with my first pregnancy about 5 years ago but miscarried at 9 weeks ( had all the symptoms with that pregnancy, nausea,very sore boobs and so on).

I have just learnt that I am pregnant again (YAY):011: and should now be about the 6 week mark but unlike the first pregnancy the only symptoms i have are enlarged breasts that are sore every now and again, a metallic taste in my mouth every so often and that is it. No morning sickness what so ever!!!! Should count my lucky stars i guess.


But what i am wanting to know is that when I did my pregnancy test for this pregnancy it came up positive straight away within 3 seconds of weeing on the stick and the lines were very prominent at about 4 weeks. But seeing as though I miscarried with my last pregnancy and had absolutely no signs of miscarriage I got some more pregnancy tests today, (There is a reason behind that story which i will tell you about in a minute) and the test still came up positive but a very faint positive and took about 5 minutes for it to show.

My question is, do you think that I could be miscarrying again with no signs to show? I had to have a D&C with my last miscarriage because I didnt even know that I had miscarried until i went for another scan..

I mean I feel absolutely fine in terms of pregnancy symptoms and have done so far through out but i am very worried that I could be loosing this pregnancy again when hubby and I long so much to have a healthy baby. I dont think i could go through a miscarriage again. the greif of it is too much when you get your hopes up.

Please let me know what you think......



Back to that story i was going to tell you about the 2nd lot of pregnancy tests.

With my first pregnancy i found out very early and had a very early dating scan at 5 weeks. I then went back to my Dr because my morning sickness had suddenly gone and said i wanted another scan to check to see if i had miscarried. He literally said to me, " If you think you have lost the baby take another pregnancy test to find out" Needless to say i changed Dr's after that. And that is when i found out my suspicions were true as my 2nd Dr said my dating scan was way to early and ordered another one, the 2nd scan showed my worst fears.:dft006:

Sorry for it being very long winded... I tend to get a bit carried away when I tell a story!!!


P.S I am due to have my first scan at 7 weeks on the 13th of September. I think that is why my suspicions are getting the better of me ]]> Miscarriage mrshnp http://forum.birth.com.au/miscarriage/99264-could-i-have-miscarried-again.html http://forum.birth.com.au/miscarriage/99253-life-just-too-cruel-please-send-thoughts-prayers.html Fri, 03 Sep 2010 12:34:58 GMT I have just received the worst call of my life so far.

My friend who was 33 weeks pregnant has just called to tell me that after we spoke on Tuesday she went into labour on the Wednesday and that her bub had died in utero. Probably the night before.

She has a disorder which affects her BP and it had spiked and caused her placenta to separate from the uterus wall and that her baby had ........ my god I cant even say it. Life just isn't fair.

I want to walk out my front door and scream and curse at the heavens above and ask why did you do this to her. It is bad enough that she has never and will never be able to carry a daughter that she would love but to now take a son is just cruel. How could a baby be taken in such a cruel and nasty manner. Her baby didn't just peacefully die. And now she has to live with the fact that her disorder has ended her babies life.

How do I help her through this when we live 3 hours apart. I cant get to her as I have no way of doing so. Her sons funeral is on Friday which is my sons first birthday. Oh I cant seem to work it all out in my head. I just dont know what to think or feel. Here she is tellin gme she has lost her baby but warnign me to go to he Dr's ven if I feel something is wrong with our bub so I dont go through this too. Worrying about me when she is in such distress. I wish I was with her to put my arms around her and cry with her.

I have lost all faith in god and saints for if they were real they would not instill such heart ache and pain. Surely noone would be so cruel.

Please send her healing vibes, prayers and thoughts to her, her husband and their children. It is all I can do for her right now and I feel useless.:012: ]]> Miscarriage DeacsMum http://forum.birth.com.au/miscarriage/99253-life-just-too-cruel-please-send-thoughts-prayers.html http://forum.birth.com.au/miscarriage/98750-would-you-mind-sharing.html Fri, 20 Aug 2010 08:17:23 GMT Hi there I have not had a miscarriage and had a very easy pregnancy until i hit 35 weeks when I was hopsitalised quite suddenly with pre ecclampsia.

I have not had a miscarriage and had a very easy pregnancy until i hit 35 weeks when I was hopsitalised quite suddenly with pre ecclampsia. Throughout my whole pregnancy I had no fears except I was worried my baby wouldnt breathe when it was born... (knowing that in alot of cases bubs need to be 'rubbed up' etc to get them to breathe) Anyways, it was my only fear.... to cut a long story short- my waters breaking at 36 weeks freaked me out as (even though its not THAT early) it was early enough for me to fear even more than bub wouldnt breathe!... But I was sooooo very lucky to have my bubba come out screaming into the world after a fairly quick labour, ending in a VB with a few small blood pressure complications along the way. Now that I have a bubba all safe and sound, I realise how lucky I am!! To lose him..oh, I dont even want to think about it!!! I love him THAT much that its almost like I am scared to ever go back and do it again incase I am not so lucky next time. I know that sounds stupid!!! I must sound like an idiot!! But reading through some of your stories just brings me to tears!! A real blubbering mess!! I guess why I am really writing is wondering if you would mind sharing your story with me... why is happened? I understand that magic 12 week mark is a 'sticky baby' point for most people and I realise that they dont know much about why bubbas dont make it in those early weeks, but why after? Did you get sick? I could not imagine losing a bub, let alone losing a bub with no real reason? I take my hat off to all you ladies who have been through a terrible experience... so if you dont mind sharing, i would like to hear your stories.... ]]> Miscarriage nicandsteve http://forum.birth.com.au/miscarriage/98750-would-you-mind-sharing.html http://forum.birth.com.au/miscarriage/98625-7-8-dpo.html Wed, 18 Aug 2010 00:17:31 GMT Hello ladies...thanks all for you're replies on my other thread..

Im a mess ]]> Miscarriage Mellygrub http://forum.birth.com.au/miscarriage/98625-7-8-dpo.html http://forum.birth.com.au/miscarriage/98381-lost-my-bub.html Wed, 11 Aug 2010 06:45:02 GMT I went in for my 9 weeks scan and the Dr told me the baby had died at six weeks and that i needed a d&c and i had to wait until the thursday. I started miscarriaging the next day so he took the baby that day...at least i didnt have the agonising wait....now its 2 weeks later and i went back in to see the dr...he said if we wanted to get pregnant that this is a good time....

We have started trying already and i just found out im going to o in the next 48 hrs....im so so excited and relieved...i have been through all the emotions, and i think trying again will help me heal....

I would wish this experience on any body...
