IN REPLY TO: 2nd miscarriage...any thoughts?
AUTHOR: pjean776
I had two miscarriages.. 7 months apart before carrying my daughter to full term and I am now pregnant again with no problems. just because you miscarry doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you at all. With what seems like women get pregnant every day, it gives a false image that it is easy. However, it's just that you hear about all the babies being born.. you don't hear about all the miscarriages.. some couples tend to wait til the 12 weeks period is up and they're chance of miscarraige goes down to tell anyone and often end up miscarrying. Also, many women have miscarriages and figure it is teir normal period and never even know they are pregnant. Statistics now show about 1 in every 5 pregnancies miscarries. You need to relax as much as possible. I am glad you are handling the second miscarriage better than the first. This isn't always what you see. Often, it is the other way around. Most doctors do not worry until the third or even fourth susequent miscarriage. they can then do genetic testing, etc and decide if they are any problems. Often there still aren't. A large number of women miscarry ten or fifteen times before having a full pregnancy and delivering a bayb and nothing could ever be found wrong with them. Other women do have fertility problems but have a baby after only two or three... it is different with everyone. But in your case, there is no cause for concern yet. Conceiving a baby isn't as easy as everyone makes it seem. But I am sure your time will come. Pick up a book on ceiving if you like.. try some new positions.. take your basal body temperature, or even buy an ovulation predictor kit. Whatever will help to lower your stress level do it, because stress makes it harder to conceive too. Hang in there I am sure you will have a baby in your arms soon.
