Congrats!! I have had 2 miscarriages one at 13 weeks one at 16 weeks and had to give birth to them.So sad but i have hope that one day i will have a baby with lots of medication and help from the dr's

By Smith.. Posted November 13 2008 at 5:04 PM.

hi, i would like to thank you all again for the comments we're still recieving! Lisa i would suggest you ask your gp for a simple blood test for folic acid and vitamin b12 it's worth a go, your amount of folic acid you take when you are trying and fall pregnant are nothing like what your body needs if you have a deficency and your time line sounds like mine. As for everyone else good luck in the future hope you all find your dream. Have a great xmas and never give up hope xxxx

By lisa smith.. Posted November 12 2008 at 6:59 PM.

Your story is an inspiration and I am so pleased that you did it. I have had 11 mc's now, 5 before my daughter and 6 six. I will definitely be asking my doctor to look into this for me.
Have a wonderful Christmas.

Me and my family would like to thank you all for your loving comments. I done this story just to let people know there can be light at the end of the tunnel and never give up. I hope i have helped some people realise they're not alone x x

By angela hston.. Posted November 9 2008 at 2:15 PM.

a simple blood test should have picked this up from the start . My wife was given this on the 2nd 3rd and 4th baby as my 1st son Mark died 2 weeks old
from Spina Bifida and we now got 3 lovely kids .
But lets get back to you and your lovely bany
I wish you all the best you deserve a medal good luck

I lost 9 babies. I lost my first pregnancy - twins - at 8 weeks, statistics at the time said that 1 in 5 first pregnancies ended in miscarriage, I then had a normal pregnancy resulting in a healthy daughter. We tried immediately for another baby. In the following 5 years we suffered 6 more miscarriages, of between 8 and 12 weeks gestation.I was put on baby aspirin daily and I was soon pregnant again, only this time it was ectopic, we decided enough was enough and we wouldn't try any more, we had one healthy happy child and were grateful for that. However, it was that healthy happy little girl who prompted us to try "just once more" when she saw the scar left by the removal of the ectopic and asked if it meant she couldn't have a baby brother or sister. SO we decided that we would try once more, and whatever the outcome it would be the last attempt. It took 2 years for us to get pregnant, a couple of scares and a stressful 9 months, we had a beautiful healthy baby girl, now 13 years old and a complete joy as is our eldest girl, now a 21 year old married woman.

So there is always hope, We refused to give up, and reaped the rewards.

I love to hear of success stories like this one, and hope that their beautiful little girl brings them as much joy as my girls have brought me.

I hope all of you that have left comments of your own troubles are soon blessed with children. Never lose hope. Congratulations to Angela and her family. I can't help but feel anger that doctors didn't make the connection sooner and save so much heartache...

By Isabel.. Posted November 9 2008 at 11:34 AM.

I have suffered 3 miscarriages and one chemical pregnancy over the last 2 years all of which were devasting. Some days I feel like I will never be a Mummy and feel like giving up but this lady never and many more brave ladies don't. I just feel like the fight has gone somedays but reading stories like this really does give me hope. Well done xx

By Mrs F.. Posted November 9 2008 at 10:00 AM.

i have lost 5 babies and undergoing tests to find a reason! shes given me hope xxx

By danielle.. Posted November 9 2008 at 9:45 AM.

youre so brave, my wife and i losy our 1st baby at 8 weeks and it broke our hearts, but for you to have 18 miscarriages is terrible. i wish you and your family all the best.
