Pregnancy after miscarriage was harder than I expected...

[@thecuttinggardener361]

I lost my last baby to stillbirth at 33 weeks last year. I’m currently 32 weeks with my second baby, and my anxiety is worse the further along I get. I find no comfort in being in the third trimester. There is no “safe” time. You’re never in the clear until that baby is in your arms. I’m so ready for this pregnancy to be over.

I had 8 back to back losses, this 9th pregnancy was so hard emotionally and physically, I felt better when I hit 16 weeks but then at my 20 week scan they picked up a disability so I had a specialist scan at 23 weeks where they confirmed the diagnosis then listed off more disabilitys she might have... They tried to convince me to abort in the next week before viability. I refused as this baby is my blessing and I'm glad to say it was only that one "professional" that was horrible to us like that. My baby is now 2 weeks old and so sweet bless her. We are waiting for her referral for treatment so our next challenge begins shortly 💖 we (me and my husband) have had a rough path but we made it and are so happy.

I've been trying to Conceive for 5yrs years now without a baby ,when I meant Dr Williams he helped me out in getting pregnant .....now am 3 months pregnant..

[@lesliedodaro9306]

I’ve had three miscarriages now. I’ve had a miscarriage in between every viable pregnancy. I am currently 21 weeks pregnant with my fourth child. We had a miscarriage three months before I got pregnant this time. It is so hard to get excited when you’re just sitting there biting your nails hoping not to lose another one. after the first two miscarriages I decided to not post pone telling people I was pregnant. The minute I had two lines on a stick I told everybody in my immediate circle. I just needed to feel validated if it didn’t work out. It is so isolating. Working through those feelings with nobody else knowing what you’re going through is impossible. And you can’t expect people to get fully invested in listening to your pain when they had no idea what you were going through in the first place. It’s hard for them too. Thank you so much for sharing your experience for other people to be able to connect to you and each other.

I had a miscarriage 3 years ago in the exact same way (blighted ovum). I fell into a dark depression for a while and was just so confused. The Ob I had at the time didn’t explain what that even meant but I didn’t feel like myself for a while. Cut to 3 years later, I delivered my rainbow baby on september 27th 2021.

This is exactly how I am feeling. I miscarried in October. I just found out I’m pregnant and I don’t have the excitement as the first time. It has been a crazy two year journey. I just keep thinking I hope it sticks. And then any stress makes me more stressed because I need to be calm for the baby. It’s nice hearing I’m not crazy . Thank you for this.

[@vee_grave]

I had an early miscarriage my first pregnancy. This is my second pregnancy and I’m currently at 35 weeks and, God willing, I finally feel like I’m close to the finish line. But I would say the first half of this pregnancy was me trying not to get too excited or attached because I wasn’t sure how I would take bad news if I had gotten too excited.

[@vanessa16ful]

Everything you said in this video is so relatable. I also only found out that I had a miscarriage during a 12 week ultrasound when they couldn't find a heartbeat. In my next pregnancy, I was always terrified at every ultrasound. It's not easy and as you said, unless you've gone through it, people do not understand. So when you purposely wait extra long to announce your pregnancy or as not as excited as you "should" be, the people around you just don't get it. I think it's a very important conversation to have. Thank you for sharing.

[@lindsaystudebaker1727]

Well said! This very much describes my experiences/ feelings in pregnancy after my miscarriage as well. One piece of advice I would share is that you can ask your doctor to skip trying to find the heartbeat with the sonogram and go straight to the ultrasound machine. When I had my first loss they couldn’t find the heartbeat with a sonogram and so it gave me a lot of PTSD when they would attempt to find it that way post miscarriage. My doctor was amazing and understood this and would just pull the ultrasound machine into the room so I could see the heartbeat and watch my baby move. It was the most compassionate thing anyone has ever done for me.

[@colonelquakers]

You perfectly summed up what it feels like to be pregnant after loss. I’ve had three losses (all of them last year) and it kind of makes me sad seeing people freak out about a positive pregnancy tests cause I’ve had so many it isn’t exciting anymore. We hope to have a successful pregnancy and it gives me so much hope when people share their healthy pregnancies after multiple losses 💕

We had 2 miscarriage before our first kid but every day during pregnancy was challenge.. All the points you made are so relevant.. like each heartbeat check is scary & I kept checking pregnancy chances till the last day.. Congrats and Best of Luck for health pregnancy

[@missld6856]

I was 10 years old when my parents sat my sister and I down to tell us the news that they were pregnant and that they were going to have the baby. It was a huge shock to us because I was always so sad that my parents always said they weren’t going to have more kids. I always wanted a younger sibling so for me it was the best days of my life when I knew my mom was going to give us a younger sibling it was pure bliss. I couldn’t believe it so excited. I have a memory of my mom crying on the bed and my sister telling me mom got her period or something. I remember the day my parents told us they lost the baby at 6 months pregnant. We all stood up in the livingroom hugged and cried in a huddle. That was trauma and life changing heart ache for my 10 year old self especially since my mom said they weren’t going to try again😞. That day we hugged and cried was the day I decided that I KNEW I wanted kids of own one day. I always believed and still believe that because of that pain I experienced then that god would reward me with my own babies. It’s why I was even more broken when I lost my first ever pregnancy at 37 years old at 12 weeks. We’re not giving up but I have this fear in my heart since my moms loss I dream so deeply of the day I get the hold my baby in my arms my 10 year old self has been waiting since then. 😔

[@elizabethmichaud7238]

Im 25 weeks pregnant with my 2nd pregnancy and to be honest, when i found out, I couldnt be happy. I was just terrified because I lost my first at 13w when i went to my first ultrasound. To be honest, my mind couldnt process the fact that I literally was carrying a dead baby in my belly for 2 weeks. First time ever that I really wanted to die. Every day, i was telling myself, if i die today, it couldnt be worst than loosing that pregnancy. Everything is fine now, i am becoming happier and happier with my ongoing pregnancy because it's going well but I am still completely terrified something is going to go wrong again. I had very bad nausea and vomiting, but i wouldnt take diclectin until i was feeling the baby kick because I needed a sing, something to calm me down and I knew, as long as my nausea is here, the baby is here too.

I know what you mean. I had a silent miscarriage too. being pregnant with your dead child for weeks is a mindfuck of the highest order. especially if you still have some pregnancy symptoms. Mother nature can be so cruel.

[@Ryoko007]

I had a miscarriage 3 weeks ago. I was told on 19th December 2023 at my 11 week scan that my baby was only 9weeks and I had miscarried. I was so numb at the time the lady told me. it wasn't processing. Then they sent me to a nurse who gave my some leaflets on miscarriage as I never experienced this with my other kid's. She said you can go natural,take a pill or mini op. I chose natural, but didn't realise it would take so long. For like almost 2 weeks, I was carrying my dead baby😢. finally on 2nd January 2024, I had the worst cramps for like 5 hrs prior to blood actually coming out and the clots you feel coming out, so much came out at once that I fainted. it was horrendous. Took 4 days to fully have all clots come out. But now I feel so dead inside. And so depressed. I want to try again but am absolutely terrified why this happened in the first place. I really want to try again for a healthy baby. But how healthy should I try to be? is there exercises I should do? or supplements I should take to make sure it's a healthy good pregnancy next time. And how soon can I try again. I'm kind of scared. it's been 3 weeks and my bleeding has pretty much finished. 😢

I'm 7 weeks into my rainbow baby pregnancy. I had spotting and my pregnancy symptoms suddenly disappeared. Me and hubby were freaking out and could barely function or sleep for days until I could get into the Dr's office. As much as morning sickness and sore boobs suck, they are reassuring after a previous loss. The baby was good. I'm so grateful my doctor was willing to see me before 8 wks. My mental health would have been awful if I had to wait another week to get some reassurance. That heartbeat was EVERYTHING!! We just gotta make it to 12 weeks and then I can take a breath and relax a bit.

[@chaosmanaged2925]

The fear is real. I've had 3 miscarriages and each of them was found out the same way. Going into that first appointment and finding out there is no heartbeat. One of them I was between 9-12 weeks and was still feeling the nausea of early pregnancy. My doctor had told me that was a good thing, but I still lost the baby. I'm currently 28 weeks and I'm still scared. It doesn't help that I have several things increasing my chances of stillbirth. (My age, high blood pressure, gestational diabetes). I just went into L&D this weekend to check on the baby because I hadn't felt her move all day. She's fine, but the fear of loss is always there.

[@alyssapraiswater6422]

Also had a blighted ovum miscarriage. Such a weird thing because you literally never even got to see the baby on ultrasound... just a big empty sac. But, a life is a life, no matter how few cells were there when baby stopped growing. I made a birthday cake on what would have been my due date to honor the little life and the grief we went through. I ended up being pregnant again by the time the would-be due date rolled around, so it was a bizarre thing to hold grief and gratitude at the same time. Prayers to all you mamas out there who are going through this now.

We had our first child 6 months ago. A beautiful healthy girl after 4 miscarriages. Stressful and scary is an understatement. When I was dealing with the emotions surrounding our miscarriages there wasn't a lot of places I felt I could go and I'm glad to see that's changing in the public space. I will say if you are watching this as someone trying to support someone who had a miscarriage and who is now pregnant watch for the level of support she needs. My mother, in particular, was constantly asking if I was okay, if all was okay, wanting updates from every appointment. Everyone wanted every ultrasound photo and ultrasound update and I just needed some privacy and personal space. Well meaning or not, that's not what I needed so it actually caused me more stress instead of relief and joy So if you are a support person, ask her what she needs. 😁

I've found im pregnant, for the third time. The last two ended in miscarriages. Its still pretty early on, so no appointments or scans as of yet but I feel so... overwhelmed? My body feels pregnant, I can feel my uterus stretching. But at the same time, I'm more aware- I'm aware what doesn't feel right and what does so when I move too quick or get up in a weird way I feel fear. I haven't told many people (not even my mother) because I'm just so scared that it'll end the way it did before. How do you feel positive when all you feel is fear?

I had two miscarriages before having my oldest daughter (whose now 2 1/2). It was a very happy/terrifying time. I remember when I had implantation bleeding with her. I freaked out and cried quite a bit. Just holding my breath to see if it would stop. (Which it did, thankfully). My husband and I had plans to go out with friends for dinner that night and my husband had to call and cancel. It was quite upsetting to us both (our miscarriage affected him quite a bit too.) My pregnancy with my oldest was very scary. Her placenta was anterior so it was also hard to feel her kick, which made doing the kick counts stressful. We even had a scare finding her heartbeat one time. I had the flu while I was pregnant with her and had to go to urgent care. The doctor couldn’t find her for a hot minute and when he did I bursted into tears. My poor husband did a really good job of loving and supporting a very hormonal, pregnant me. It is very hard to be pregnant after loss.

I haven’t started trying again yet cause I’m a bit in fear, it has been almost 8 months since my baby passed away after birth at 26 weeks. He had a rare health condition… I learn he wouldn’t make it at 19 weeks… The next 2 months with him felt so hard I’m not sure of how I willl go through another pregnancy. Drs said it was pure “luck” no explanation as to why this happened which makes it even scarier. I’m currently going with a therapist to help me get better for some day getting pregnant again. I really think going through this just changed me forever. I don’t think I will be myself again, but I have made peace with that.

I recently had a miscarriage at around 5 weeks. I hadn’t even told my husband yet since we live in different countries and I wanted to tell him in person.

The worst part was him seeing it and having to tell him I wasn’t pregnant anymore. Thank you so much for talking about miscarriage and normalizing it. It’s a horrible thing to go through but something not enough people talk about. It’s far more common than many think it is 😞

Shayla I love that you are willing to talk about the hard stuff. One thing worth mentioning that alot of people don't talk about is the physical pain involved with a miscarriage. Not only are you dealing with emotional pain, but then when you do get pregnant again every little cramp or blood sends you into panic mode. Instead of it being this fun and exciting time, it's filled with stress and worry, which just makes the discomfort of the first trimester worse! Becoming a mom can be just as hard as being a mom sometimes.

I had a miscarriage a week ago at 7w 2d. My first pregnancy. I had an ultrasound Monday with a heartbeat and 2 days later baby was gone. It was such a traumatic experience. AND THE HORMONE CHANGES JUST MAKE IT SO MUCH WORSE. Even though it was so short, I had a wonderful 1st pregnancy. Very, very, very mild symptoms. I want to get pregnant again, I'm excited to be pregnant again, but if anything, I'm more nervous that the 2nd/next pregnancy I will have terrible symptoms vs being nervous of another miscarriage. I feel like that's strange, I've watched to many miscarriage videos and never have I heard someone express the same perspective/thoughts.

I have just miscarried at 12 weeks yesterday after having had one at 6 weeks right before this last pregnancy and am wondering if you&Seth got labs done to check for potential causes after your 2nd miscarriage. I hear you said you took a break after the second and waited half a year to start trying again. I'm not even really asking you if you'd recommend that because I know I need that on every level. Curious if you did anything to promote fertility before you started trying again. This will become my second child, I have an exquisite 3 year old sunshine who is my main medicine right now and the light of my life. Yesterday I snuggled him in bed and he all of the sudden got really sad, and when I asked why he said "I'm not gonna be a big brother". He had already named the baby, kissed the belly, and gotten really excited to have a sibling. I know it will happen for us, I just really feel like I need to cover all my bases medically speaking before entering another pregnancy, this one was already very stressful after the most recent loss. Spiritually I know this soul is coming to incarnate into our family, and to have gotten to host her in my womb twice already for however short time feels like a pure blessing. My heart is broken and my body recovering from a birth, yet in place of my healthy baby there is the deepest sadness I have ever felt in this life. Thank you from the bottom of my broken heart for sharing your story here, and the most delighted congratulations to your beautiful baby boy!❤❤❤ Your contribution here makes a huge difference for people like myself🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

FTM will be 11 weeks on Friday, and I’ve had such an easy pregnancy that I’m just always terrified. I’ve been craving water and had that exhaustion, which is more reassuring, but even with no prior miscarriage it’s still so scary bc it feels like no date is “safe”. We had an ultrasound at 9weeks and saw baby with a heartbeat but I still worry each day. Can’t wait for my 12 week scan and to hopefully feel more secure with baby

[@teodorapalacios9059]

I am so scared to try for another . When I first found out about my pregnancy in May I was also worried, scared, confused. I felt bad for having this negative feeling or thoughts but then at times as days passed I was like ok so we are doing this, this will be a small person one day. It was hard bc I have always just had my now 15 yo son and I felt like I was betraying him by bringing another person into our close relationship. So, then after going to first prenatal appt bc I had started bleeding I felt even worse bc I thought my body was punishing me for the negativity I initially felt or thought when I first found out about being pregnant. Anyways, it was hard 11 weeks and end of it all I miscarried and it made me see I wanted this little person so bad for so long but was just stuck in a rut or everyday normality. I miss it and I wish I could one day carry it but that will never happen now and now I am scares to try bc what if it happens all over again ughhhh

[@angieencina2376]

Thank you so much for this!!!! Exactly what I needed to hear!

I reacted pretty "normal" after both of my miscarriages. No mourning or depression, just went about my days as normal. Now that I'm pregnant again, I'm negative, pessimistic, not sure if I even want to go through this. Really bizarre.

I’m currently going through a chemical pregnancy and having a harder time with it than I thought I would. I keep thinking of how far along I “could” be. And it doesn’t help that I’m on day 10 of bleeding so we can’t even start trying again yet. I just want it to be done and over with.

I know how you feel. Every time I went to the bathroom it was a reminder. I pushed myself get over it. We are wasting time. We need to try again. I pushed and hid my emotions. But when time came I sabotage my next try because that’s when it hit me. I hated hearing “chemical” pregnancy. Why not just say miscarriage. I felt denied that. No matter how many days we lost. It’s okay to feel and have hope. I’m sending lots love and baby dust your way. ❤️

Thank you so much for posting this and continuing to share your story with people. It is beyond helpful! I had a miscarriage August 2019 and was blessed with a beautiful boy March 2021. During that 2nd pregnancy I searched for videos like this to help me feel validation and comfort and not being so alone. It is so scary and I plan on having another child some day and I know that will be scary too. The montra I found on instagram, they have some really wonderful support pages out there, was this "This is a different pregnancy, a different baby a different story with a different ending." Every appointment I would say this over and over to try to calm myself and keep positive good vibes. Another quote I tried to keep in mind was "my want for this baby outweighs the fear" I had got through it before and if I had to I would get through it again. Very glad I had my husband to lean on during that 2nd pregnancy and we did discuss the possibility of another loss and the worry we shared, that was very helpful!

I had a miscarriage 3 weeks ago. I was told on 19th December 2023 at my 11 week scan that my baby was only 9weeks and I had miscarried. I was so numb at the time the lady told me. it wasn't processing. Then they sent me to a nurse who gave my some leaflets on miscarriage as I never experienced this with my other kid's. She said you can go natural,take a pill or mini op. I chose natural, but didn't realise it would take so long. For like almost 2 weeks, I was carrying my dead baby😢. finally on 2nd January 2024, I had the worst cramps for like 5 hrs prior to blood actually coming out and the clots you feel coming out, so much came out at once that I fainted. it was horrendous. Took 4 days to fully have all clots come out. But now I feel so dead inside. And so depressed. I want to try again but am absolutely terrified why this happened in the first place. I really want to try again for a healthy baby. But how healthy should I try to be? is there exercises I should do? or supplements I should take to make sure it's a healthy good pregnancy next time. And how soon can I try again. I'm kind of scared. it's been 3 weeks and my bleeding has pretty much finished. 😢

Has anyone here experienced fainting when a miscarriage happened at 9weeks? with a natural miscarriage at home? after lots of severe cramping like contractions my miscarried baby came out and so much blood but then i felt so light headed and dizzy i couldnt hold my consciousness. i really hope im.not the only one.

[@sannecheney-steijger9393]

The thing you are talking about, the awkward conversation with a friend: ‘he you did not know but I was pregnant and now I’m not’ I’m wondering why are you not telling anyone in the first trimester? Because you can miscarry right? And you don’t want the whole word to ask about you baby and have to tell them that you mis carried. But then why are we holding on to this first trimester rule so strongly when we know that there are people we would want to talk to if we miscarry… wouldn’t it be easier to just tell the people you need when anything goed wrong from the start that you are pregnant?! Is this 1st trimester rule beneficial to us? Or had it made miscarriage the taboo that it is today? I’m wondering…

[@annakacerkova7585]

Ok girl, I am right now in that "window". 2nd trimester (17weeks), no kicking (anterior placenta) and after loss in 7 week (I know, early, but..). And no excitement in the beginning because of worrying. Thank you for this video! P.S. Thanks God to my preccious doctor and the AngelSounds!!🤗

I almost lost my baby boy when I was 22 weeks in 2020 and it was traumatizing. I’m scared to go through another pregnancy, but we’re trying. It’s really hard to explain to someone how you can be relieved and sad at the same time to get a negative pregnancy test. Thank you for sharing this video, it helped with my emotions a little

I had a miscarriage before my daughter. I had terrible anxiety. When I was 17 w with her, I started having bleeding. It was so unsettling. Everything turned out fine, and I was bleeding due to a cervical polyp, but I was so scared.

I just had a miscarriage at 12 weeks and delivered our baby at home on the 19th. We were able to see him and I held him in my hand for a long time just looking at him and counting all his fingers and toes. It was really distressing and I've never grieved so hard in my life. We did early blood testing and found out we were having a beautiful baby boy. We had multiple ultrasounds and we saw baby moving and a heartbeat and everything. Everything was perfect and healthy. And then there was no heartbeat and he stopped growing. I had no signs until I had brown spotting but I wasn't even nervous. I felt great and had no cramping. It totally blindsided. We struggled with infertility to conceive our first baby who is now 10 months old. And then we conceived this baby and everything was perfect and now he's just gone. It hurts so bad. We told everyone around 8 weeks and I'm glad we told everyone. We have had lots of love and support through our miscarriage. Ugh just a couple days ago we were at the store and had our daughter with us and some older lady was talking to us about how well behaved our daughter is and then she said "her life sure is about to change in a big way" I said "what do you mean" she pointed to my stomach and said "the new baby on the way" I just blankly stared at her and then said "We just lost our baby this week" She was completely unapologetic and we left so fast and I got to the car and just SOBBED. I was only 12 weeks along and just a little bloated. I didn't think I even looked that pregnant and I have no idea why she would even say something like that. I hope she was embarrassed and learned a lesson. It's been a couple days and I'm still bothered by it and had a super bad panic attack last night. HECK, miscarriage sucks so much.

I had a miscarriage early 2020 (right before covid started) it was probably one of the worse things I went though, then I got pregnant again last year and the whole pregnancy I was on pins and needles and it was a rough pregnancy, I was on Progesterone shots, and insulin shots (gestational diabetes) and then and even worse labor it lasted 72 hours and I ended up needing a c section (something I was trying to at all costs avoid) then she was in the hospital for a week, having trouble breathing, regulating her blood sugar, and eating and I was in the hospital for high blood pressure... Fast forward 6 months and I have a healthy baby girl and as hard as it all was it was worth it because I have my little girl

Good Morning Shayla! I'm a fellow twin cities pregnant gal, 37 weeks, and have learned so much and comforted by your honest and down to earth videos. Thank you!! I had a lot of fear of loss until I finally felt kicking at 23 weeks, and even then it still felt surreal for awhile. I cried at every heartbeat check, "He's still there!!" I'd say in relief. I'm over 40, took awhile to get pregnant so we feel incredibly lucky to be pregnant! I don't take for granted that we are progressing in this pregnancy and others are not. Kudos on talking about Better health services, we are still in the thick of this pandemic and staying home for what we can is a good idea. Keep up the good work and I will send good thoughts and prayers for your pregnancy and continued work here. 💓💓💓
