Thanks for your responses. I know as a non smoker, it is difficult to understand the addiction a smoker feels. When I was pregnant, I had no problem giving up because I knew I didn't want to do my baby any harm. I missed smoking but the baby was more important. Anyway, when I found out I'd...

I'm a smoker and drinker, not a majorly heavy drinker but I do love my glass of wine. I try to limit it to weekends only but, with the girls I work with, sometimes that's difficult. Anyway, last time I was pregnant, I was drinking and smoking and as soon as I found out I was pregnant, gave it...

Have a look at this website http://www.miscarriageassociation.org.u ... /again.htm. It gives you some encouraging information about trying again. I had a missed miscarriage and had an ERPC on 29 December. As soon as my bleeding stopped, we started trying again. Haven't had my period yet...

Thanks for your reply. Yes, there is a little part of me that is wondering if my termination affected this pregnancy, although the doctor said there is nothing to suggest this is the case. Me and my husband have started trying again but not so actively this month. I know I'll feel a little...

I'm so sorry if this is an insensitive question and please don't answer if you aren't comfortable with it. I recently suffered a miscarriage. It was my second pregnancy, the first time, I decided to have a termination at around 13 weeks (which is roughly around the time I accepted I was...

So sorry for your losses but congrats on being pregnant again. Hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months. Just wanted to say, my friend had an ectopic pregnancy and now has a very happy and healthy little girl xxx

I had an ERPC (think it's the same as D&C), and I had bleeding the first day (although it was relatively mild - was expecting it to be worse and then I just had mild spotting for about 10 days afterwards - I was similar to you, I had a MMC at 7 weeks 2 days but only found out at my 12 week...

I really hope that I don't have to go through another miscarriage but I can't wait to start trying again. I think the bleeding from my ERPC is coming to an end and we hope to start trying again either this week or next. The problem is that the NHS won't do any tests on you until you've had 3...

I really think you should do a test if you could be pregnant. If you are having a miscarriage, then you'll need to go and see your doctor. Although if you are only 4 or so weeks, they'll probably tell you to go home and rest and let it happen naturally. But could it not just be a painful...

I'm just looking for inspiration at the moment and some kind of hope. When I was 17 (10 years ago), I got pregnant. I was too young and completey not ready for a baby, but I carried a healthy baby until just over 12 weeks when I had a termination. The reason I had it done so late was because...

This is exactly the reason why I don't want to find out I'm pregnant again until as late as possbile. I had a MMC. Found out at my 12 week scan last Tuesday that baby had died at 7+2. When we were TTC this time (with our first child), I was constantly obsessing, running to the toilet every 5...

I haven't been through what you have but I did have a mmc. I went for my 12 week scan on 23 December 2008 and found out that the baby had died at 7 weeks 2 days. I was devastated, as was my husband. As for the grief you are feeling, you have every right to feel it. People experience...

If I were you, I'd strongly consider changing doctors. I'm considering dong the same thing, although my doctors don't really deal with pregnancy, it goes straight over to the midwives. I visited my midwife when I was 10 weeks pregnant (unfortunately my baby had alreay died at this point as...

I recently suffered a missed miscarriage. Went for my 12 week scan and found out the baby had died at 7 weeks 2 days. The strange thing is, every time someone said to me something like "Aw you're going to have a baby" or "everything will be fine", I never believed them. When people said to me...

This is my problem, I keep reading up on things and hearing about other people's bad experiences. I think the success rate of pregnancies after 12 weeks is 80% so that's quite a high percentage. It's hard to say "try not to worry" because it's only natural. Just maybe try and do things to...
