Any Successful Birth AFTER Recurrent Miscarriages?

Brianna,

I know this is off the subject of the original post from Keta. But I am wondering about the progesterone you took. Did you use the progesterone suppositories by any chance? I have been using them but I think my NP has me on too low of a dose. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I feel for all you mothers whom have gone through miscarriages and even stillbirth. It is heartbreaking. I have lost 4 babies myself. I think about them too and it brings tears to my eyes. I pray that all of you will have comfort for the pain that you have to bear.

HI! First I would like to tell you that I am sorry for your loss. Nothing hurts the heart like losing a child. I have lost four children and I think about them all the time. I have a beautiful 5 year old baby girl. Here is my story: The first child I lost was a little girl named Katlynn Marie I was 6 months along. No one could tell me why I lost her, The second pregnancy I was 3 months and once again no one could tell me why. Specialist dont consider a women to have a problem till they lose 3 children so I still had my hopes up at this point. Then I lost my 3rd at 4 months. I went to a specialist and he did every test under the sun! He found out that I have protein c and protein s disorder, He said it is very rare for someone to have both and most doctors dont test for either one. Protein c and protein s are what keeps your blood thin and moving, not having these function correctly at any stage in my pregnancy I would get a blood clot in the cord and it would termanate my pregnancy. He talked me into trying again taking lovnox injections everynight in my stomache through the whole pregnancey (blood thinner injections) This gave me an extremly high perecentage of dying in my pregnancy/labor. However, It was worth the risk to me I had a beautiful baby girl! We tried again when our daughter was 2 however, we lost this child also. My daughter is now 5years old, we have not tried again and I dont plan to my heart can bearly handle the 4 I lost. I am blessed to have my sweet girl! Good luck my prayers are with you!

I had my first son in 1996 ( he's going on 16 now) . I had 2 misscarriages after him and then i had 4 children afterward. I then got pregnant again and had another misscarriage which were twins. i then got pregnant 8 years after that and That's enough for me. I have 6 children and would have had 10 all together. it is a dramatic experience. I bled for 3 months with my first misscarriage. My 2nd, i went to the bathroom and there my baby was on my toitett paper. My last miscarriage i had (my twins) i carried inside for months before i had been given pills from the dr to loose them. they were blackish green when i lost them. I didn't go to the drs to find out of how to get pregnant again. I allowed God to help me. My friend had 10 misscarriages and she only had one child now. Well she had twins that was born and 1 died and so she only has one daughter.
Sorry about your loss. I will pray for you.

I have had no medical help because my miscarriages were all for different reasons therefore they couldn't have been prevented at all.

My story goes like this ...

August 2000 ... baby girl miscarried at 15 weeks, twin survived to be born at 37 weeks, healthy baby girl.

February 2003 ... healthy baby boy born at 36 weeks.

March 2005 ... healthy baby boy passed away at 17 weeks due to maternal pneumonia.

January 2008 ... baby girl born at 39 weeks with complex congenital heart disease - passed away at 9 days old.

July 2009 ... baby girl miscarried at 14 weeks due to premature rupture of membranes.

January 2012 ... healthy baby girl born at 38 weeks.

So, we have 3 living children and four waiting for the day we join them in heaven. I am blessed to have had them all in my life even though some have only remained hidden close under my heart for but a brief period of time ...

Wishing you all the best, OP and praying for a precious little one in your arms before you know it!

Thank you Deidre! You are 100% correct. Luckily, I am a counselor and I have sought out communication with a of the LPC's within my company. Yes, it has definitely helped me. My husband, on the other hand feels that he has to deal with it in "his own way". I continuously communicate with him concerning our babies just so he doesn't put it behind him and lock it away "for a later time". He talks about it, a little at a time.



Thank you for taking the time to inform. You have a good, caring heart. I'm glad that you are doing well and able to teach through your experiences...the best way to do it!

I have never had a miscarriage. I just wanted to reach out and give you a virtual HUG, xoxox. It can be extremely difficult to learn emotional stability when it comes to these types of turmoil.

If no one has said this to you before I will say it now. There is NOTHING you did to CAUSE this in your life. Please understand it is natures way of eliminating when the baby is not viable. You did not do this to yourself. It is an act of nature. Please get any form of therapy. I recommend it for both you and your husband. It is real, the feelings you both are experiencing. Do not ignore them. They never go away by themselves. You may never forget what's happened, but at least you'll learn coping mechanisms.

I had an abortion when I was 20 yrs old. I never got therapy for it. Then when I was pregnant with my first son I had a million and one dreams and nightmares. I was an emotional wreck!!! Everything in my pregnancy I felt reminded me of what could have been. My sister recommended a book for me to read. It is called " Her choice to Heal". It was really incredible and got me through so much. I know your loss wasn't voluntary, but it is a real loss. This book talks about the grieving process, denial, anger, forgiveness, and mourning. If you don't go to a counselor I would definitely read a book on the healing process. Do not ignore it. These are feelings that need to be addressed and can cause dangerous long term effects if not dealt with ASAP. Thanks for listening, xoxo, and hugs your way :)
