I dint see any topics bout miscarriage in here, so I thought I open a topic just to have some share of thoughts..

I just had a D&C done on my 2nd pregnancy yesterday.

The first was in July 2010 and I was bout 12 weeks pregnant, but the fetus had forever been 6mm size... (there was heartbeat earlier, but it eventually stopped... hmm.. ). 2nd pregnancy was in Dec 2010 and this time the growth was normal and even a normal heartbeat can be seen in the ultrasound scan. Hubby n me very happy.. cant wait!!

Until last monday I went for a regular check up and there's no more heartbeat!! Baby is supposed to be 10weeks old!!

During both the pregnancies, I had blood clots in my uterus.. no bleeding in the first pregnancy but some light brownish bleeding in the 2nd pregnancy for about 1 week++.. (everyday, stained my liner.. but stopped soon baby reach 8weeks.) then, some ocasionally light brownish discharge

So doctor had me take hormonal pills (later changed to hormonal shots, every week) and also 1/4 aspirin a day (so that to try clear blood clots) but there are still clots visible during every ultrasound check ups. (and also cos of the clot spotting, I hav to go clinic every week in my early pregnancy. Every visit RM150 yo!!) Doc said some early pregnancies are normal to hav a little bleeding..

This time, I went on to check on chinese medical. The sinseh told me to do confinement for bout 2 weeks-1 month and not to get pregnant for at least 6-9 months. He said I need to eat lotsa nutrients to savour my utereus..

Meanwhile the western doctor said I can try for another pregnancy after 2 months of my regular menstrual.. and only if that I have 3rd miscarriage then I need to hav some check up done on my blood and etc.. I asked doc what was the reason of the miscarriage and he said it has nothing to do with the blood clots, perhaps the baby's DNA not good, as he can see a lot of fluid behind the baby's neck (might cause down syndrome)

So, any other hav some experience in something like this?

Fyi, im 25 this year, and yes I want a baby! no joke!

wow! thanks for all the concern, i'll definately rest well before trying for another.. I just thought to make this topic to share if some1 else hav similar cases like me..

erm, I believe I hav a normal lifestyle, I hardly go for drinks and dont smoke too.. also asked doc many questions regarding my miscarriages, and even research online bout it... mostly explain the same thing; fetus DNA not normal / bleeding = threaten miscarriages but some do manage to get past that bleeding stage and hav healthy baby / and miscarriages happen when the body knows the fetus is not healthy.. etc..

@Joey Christensen: No hard feelings, my D&C done on 9th, post this on 10th. and after d operation, i seem to be able to walk & talk & do normal stuff.. but im ordered to rest well.. haha.. I also had a pain-killer jabbed after d operation.. so I can definately type and do a lil online surfing at home even straight after D&C..

congrats on your pregnancy!! Yeah I was thinking to do a pre pregnancy check up after im well rested..
