How early is too early?

Jennie726 · Mar 13, 2006

Evening all!
5 weeks ago tomorrow, we lost our twins due to preterm labor. Well, for the past few days, I have been having the same cervical mucus I had when I was pregnant. (sorry if that's too much info). It is heavy like it was then and I'm tired all the time again. And my temp has been the same since the day I expect I ovulated. My husband and I aren't actually trying to conceive, but we aren't preventing it. We want kids and we are just leaving it in God's hands. He will decide. But my question is, is it too soon for me to be feeling this way? My AF isn't due for another 2 weeks. So, I am so confused lol. I have been pregnant twice before and have lost 3 babies. Also, I have been having cramps, like the ones I had both times I found out I was pregnant. I just think it's too soon to be feeling this way. But I don't know. I'm so confused. If anyone can help, please reply. Thank you!

I don't have any advice for you dear one, but I will pray for you. There are no right or wrong emotions, here. You have been through a lot.

I'm not sure, have you consulted your doctor about how your body is doing?

Jennie726 · Mar 13, 2006

No, not yet. I guess I need to go see him lol. Maybe he can help me out here. It's just so weird to me. I have never had these cramps mid cycle before. Maybe it's just my body still healing. I don't have a clue lol.

Right, I don't know much, but my concern would be that since your body may be recovering it could happen again... if you are not fully healed... I am surprised your doctor hasn't made you see her/him.

I was told to wait 5-6 months, we went off the pill in March, had my first completely pill cycle in April which made it six months from our miscarriage. The doctor wanted me fully recovered to prevent another miscarriage. It took us 11 months of TTC but we're eight weeks pregnant and Thank the Lord no spotting so hopefully this baby will live to term or big enough to born and survive.

I'd get a full check up from your GYN, ask him/her all these types of questions. There is no sense getting pregnant before you've had time to fully heal and risking your life or the life of a child. I was told too early can cause internal bleeding worst case I die, next to worse they cannot control the bleeding and I loose my uterus to stop it.

Take care of yourself.

Well, I lost my first in July and 2 months later was pregnant again with the twins. I did not miscarry them, I went into preterm labor with them... they don't know why, but I am going to find out. I think it could be an incompetent cervix, but also it could have been twin to twin transfusion, which is what my doctor thinks.
If I am pregnant again already, that is fine. I'm leaving this in God's hands. He knows what he is doing. And if I do have to go through losing another one, it is all in God's plan. But I believe our next one is going to be fine. I just have faith in that.
I may have ovulated too early this month. I stopped bleeding from the delivery on the 28th, so I have only been stopped for 2 weeks. I don't know... my body is just weird right now. Maybe it's just trying to get back to normal. I have no clue. I'm just waiting for the day my period is due so I can see. Whatever happens is in God's hands, not mine.

Wow, Jennie, you have been through alot. I have never been pregnant. Though my husband and I dearly want kids. I will pray for you and yours.

Have you talked to the doc yet?

kegohn · Apr 5, 2006

I'm so sorry for all that you have been though. I admire your strength in knowing that it is in the Lord's hands. Please let us know what you find out with the doctor.

You really should see a doctor about TTC again. Have you been told you may not be able to carry full term?

Also, I am curious if you have had any counseling for your losses as well? I would recommend that if you have not. You do not want to replace a lost baby with another to help heal pain. I can imagine you have been in a great deal of pain.

Linnis · Apr 5, 2006

I am sorry for your loss but TTC too soon after a miscarriage or a premature labor, you could be setting yourself up for another miscarriage.

Jennie,

Just leave it in God's hands. I'm praying for you. If you have conceived, just pray the word over you and the baby everyday. And confess that this baby shall live and there shall not be any complications.

Of course, see your doctor and follow any advice that he gives, accept ungodly advice. A doctor told a friend of mine to abort her baby because of complications. My friend didn't listen, of course and trusted God and both her and the baby lived. There are times when you just need to keep your eyes on Jesus.

Anyway, just trust God. You'll have one soon. Also one scripture that helped during my pregnancy, when it appeared I was beginning to miscarry was a scripture in Malachi 3:10-11. He says if you pay your tithes he will rebuke the devourer. When the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy, Jesus comes to bring life and to bring it more aboundatly. You shall be fruitful and multiply and blessed shall be the fruit of your womb.

Blessings to you my dear sister. I'm praying for you.
