This sounds so like my experience of pregnancy. I too had 2 miscarriages before finally managing to hang on to a pregnancy and was told (after my 1st miscarriage) that I have a bicornuate uterus.

And your feelings of relief at the early scan for your 3rd pregnancy were exactly like mine. I'd started bleeding a few days after the test and when I went for an early scan in London I was told that I was losing the baby. I went home to the Isle of Wight and just prayed and did yoga for 3 days. When I went back for the repeat scan, I was fully expecting to be told it was all over. But the doctor couldn't have been more surprised, "Well, look at that". And 'that' turned out to be my daughter, now 4.

what a lot you have gone through, and how wonderful your outlook is AND what wonderful children you have. Thank you for sharing this, it will help many others.

I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 1998, had major surgery to remove in 2001 we were told to get on with it if we wanted kids as it might not happen. Luckily, in 2003 I concieved my boy, and 2006 my girl, with no major problems. I feel blessed, and a bit like I got away with it....

thanks for reminding us also, that we are always lucky if we have children, even though the journey to get there may have been heart rending.

Thank you for sharing your story…what a comfort it brings. I am mother of 2 girls, but have had 4 pregnancies. My first ended in miscarridge and my 4th was terminated because of chromazonal problems (patau syndrome) At the time, I felt so alone and so responsible, but by sharing our stories one realizes that we aren't alone and that the pain one feels is normal.

I enjoy more girls more than ever and feel blessed they are part of my world.

Thank you for all you lovely comments.

I too have found, after sharing my experiences, that many women go through these terrible losses but do not talk about them.

Sometimes the words cannot come without floods of tears so it's easier not to speak.

((Hugs)) for anyone who has suffered similar.

Thanks for sharing this. I never thought miscarriages happen to so many people until one after another almost all of my friends suffered one, including myself. To go through three – it doesn't bear thinking about.

It's hard to write about any babies you've lost. Very beautifully written! x

I went through a miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy, too. So many women do. It's good to talk about it.

What a brave post. So sad you've had to go through this. I have many friends who have had to cope with similar experiences and, if I'm honest, losing a baby is probably one of my biggest fears. I can only imagine the sadness and sense of loss.

Thinking of you and remembering your three never-forgotten angels.

Thank you for sharing them with us xx
