Molar Pregnancy
hi all, not been the best couple of days in my life i can tell you, went for the routine 12weeks baby scan with my wife yesterday only to be told that we have lost it (2nd time in a row now) apparently the wife has suffered a 'molar pregnacy' which is very rare. its where the placenta forms into 'grape like' bunches and cant support the baby causing the misscarage. im truly gutted..especially after the agonising wait for the scan after last time.
has anyone else suffered this rare problem?
im just after some reasurance that this wont affect our future chances

Not a molar pregnancy but we lost one before going on to have 3 very healthy girls, eldest is 6 now. Our circumsatances wernt very pleasant, I'll not go into detail but it wasnt enough to put us off trying again.
Keep at it (pardon the expression) itll all come good (sorry) in he end. Miscarriages as you have probably been made aware, happen a lot more often than most folks realise, something like 1 in 5. Chin up fella, give the missus a hug and maybe talk to her about trying again in a while.

Sorry to hear that, but to help put your mind at rest about the future - my sister in law had one of these, suffered from some bad lows after finding out/ suddenly being cut off the pregnancy hormones as a result, but the following year got pregnant and had her first child absolutely normally with no intervention of any sort and followed up with another child 2 years later.
The best way to ty to think of it for now was it was just Nature's way of saying that something was wrong this time, but that was just this time and it won't be the same in the future.

One of my aunts had her first of two lads not long after I was born. She then had two miscarrages in the following 18 months. She thn had her second lad who is now 22 ( his bro is 24).
All the best for the future mate. You've at least got one beautiful baby (not the scoob your daughter
)

Pure crap Mate.
A close friend of mine and his wife have been trying to have kids for ages now (married almost 15 years, trying for at least 10)and they have had all the same stuff happen.
Eventually they just stopped trying, as they were fed up with all the medical stuff (IVF,scans, this and that)
I hope you and your wife can get past this, and someday it will work out.

Sorry to hear your news - I am sure it will work out.
Friends of ours were getting very concerned about getting pregnant and had a miscarriage and then could not get pregnant. After four years they gave up all the interventions and gave up the possibility of getting another baby.
The next month she was pregnant. Nature likes things to take its own course sometimes.
There is also a resource that seems to answer just about every question on this subject...

So, so sorry for you all.
You have a beautiful daughter, if memory serves me well, so I am sure you will have a brother or sister for her, real soon.
I know it's difficult, but try not to get too downhearted. Best wishes to you all

Sorry to heat your news.
As a woman she will at some point soon start to blame herself, reassure her that it was not her fault and it was just mother nature.
This baby was not meant to happen yet.
There is a very low risk of it happening again, and nothing to say that you can't be sucsessful next time.
Be there for her, give her plenty of hugs, and let her cry in your arms.
Time is a healer.

Was there with my wife about 4 months ago. We have been trying for our first for nearly 18 months now. She got pregnant but mis-carried around week 6 so very early on. Problem was she had told everyone the news only one week earlier, so we had to repeat 'we have lost the baby' about 20 times. She took it very bad as her sister was pregnant with her 2nd child with a failed marriage behind her and a boyfriend that was 25 years older than her.
We have just found out that we are 8 weeks pregnant, so i'm on a knife edge at the moment.
I'm sure it will happen and as somebody already said, be thankful that you have 1 child, as there are many people out there who would give anything to be parents.

Sympathies mate, I always tried to think when the wife was pregnant if she did miscarry that it wasnt losing the baby, just the same one having another go at getting born, might sound a bit strange but it kind of helped me square it in my mind, kind of like a Pilot performing a "Go-around".
