I lost my baby. what now?

Question

i just experience a miscarriage at exactly 6 weeks. will i ever be able to have a normal pregnancy? i'm scared i wont ever have a baby now... the doctor didn't indicate that to me, and i'm probably being irrational, but i am concerned.

Answer 1

sorry to hear about your loss...many people have miscarriages--i had a  miscarriage at 17 weeks and had to have a D&C... and 4 months after that I became pregnant again and yes, I was worried and scared, but I am happy to say now I have a beautiful and healthy 7 month old daughter..stay positive and keep trying. it will happen and trust me --it was worth the wait. I just love my daughter so so so much, I do not know what I would do without her

Answer 2

It all depends on why you miscarried.  You should talk to your doctor about it.

Answer 3

im so sorry for your loss,but all is not lost, i had a miscarriage with my first baby and ive had 2 boys since, my oldest will be 4 next week and my youngest is 14 months,its nothing you done wrong its just as they say,(it wasnt meant to be) but if your worried get checked out by your doctor or at hospital,my friend had a short cervix which made her go into labour at 26 weeks and the baby now thank god is perfect,but with her second she had to get what they call a stitch in to prevent the cervix from opening, so best of luck and i hope all goes well for you.

Answer 4

well, my cousin had two miscarriages, one was a single baby, a boy, around 4-6 months, and the other was twins, one boy one girl, and that was a little later, but then she went on to have to sets of twin boys! i think you will be able!

Answer 5

You'll be able to have another baby, no problem. Miscarriages are more common than you think. Just remember to try and wait 3 menstrual cycles before getting pregnant again .. and after a miscarriage you're extremely fertile!

I'm sorry about your loss; I hope God blesses you with another baby very soon..

Take care.

Answer 6

I'm so sorry for you loss.  I miscarried my third baby.  They say either 1 in 4 women or 1 in 4 pregnancies (I can't remember which) miscarries.  MANY women, including myself, go on to have healthy babies after miscarrying.

Answer 7

If your doctor did not indicate you could not have another baby, then don't worry about it.  I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks and went on to have another baby with no problems.  You will do just fine.  Don't stress yourself too much.

Answer 8

i once read somewhere that more than half of pregnancies end in miscarriages without a women even knowing their pregnant. more than half of the women i know have experienced a miscarriage but have at least one child now. most of them got pregnant within a couple of months after ending the previous pregnancy

Answer 9

oh honey, i lost a baby at nearly 5 months gestation. i went on to have two healthy babies. yes, you will have more babies. good luck and sorry about your loss.

Answer 10

I understand how you feel.  I had 2 miscarriages before we had our daughter.

You should be able to conceive and carry to term.  Did they tell you the reason for the miscarriage?  Did they do a D & C or did it all happen naturally?

Sorry for your loss.

Answer 11

I know people who have miscarried who were able to have a baby afterwards.  If you are concerned though, talk to your doctor.  

Answer 12

I'm sorry that had to happen to you but know that you're not alone.  I had a miscarriage in June of 2006.  They discovered it when I went for my 12 week ultrasound but from the state of the embryo they figure it happened around the same time that yours did.  I ended up getting pregnant in December 2006 and now have an adorable blond haired angel sleeping in his crib upstairs.  My best friend also experienced a miscarriage (she actually found out the day I delivered my son) and is now due with a baby girl in September.  It will happen for you...don't give up hope!

Answer 13

I'm so sorry.

The good news is, chances are, you can still have a normal pregnancy! There are a lot of women in the world who suffered a miscarriage and have gone on to have healthy babies.

Be gentle with yourself.

Answer 14

sweetie please dont stress, miscarriages usually happen because a problem with the fetus and there is nothing you could have done differently. many women go on to have normal/healthy pregnancies after one. dont let it haunt you  

Answer 15

Yes you will. Give your body a little bit of time to recover (a month or two) and if you still want a baby try again.  

Answer 16

Actually, miscarriages are extremely normal. Doctors are saying now that almost *all* woman end up having a miscarriage at one time or another. They will have a heavier than normal period and never even think about it...

You will have another child.If you want another baby quickly, then you can start trying as early as a couple months from now. You should wait at least 2 cycles, just to give your body time to heal and to regulate.

Good-Luck!

Answer 17

I had 2 terrifying miscarriages and went on to have a healthy baby girl Good luck!

Answer 18

Many pregnancies end in miscarriage and it doesn't mean you can't have a healthy pregnancy in the future.  Did they do a D&C and tell you why you miscarried?  Normally it is just due to chromosomal issues while the baby was developing.  I had a miscarriage years ago and went on to conceive a healthy baby just fine without even trying to get pregnant!  Best wishes, I'm sure you will be fine.
