Sorry this is long but I really need some advice. Please help.
I have a 3 year old kid. When he turned two we started trying for a second baby. It took us 7 months to conceive (and got pregnant in Jan 2023) which in itself was a huge surprise as we conceived within a month for my eldest. Everything went fine until on April 2 I slightly started spotting which turned to clots and then contractions and I expelled a boy at only 15 weeks and 4 days on April 17th . I was admitted in the hospital for 9 days. Was given IV medicines for all symptoms(bleeding, contractions etc) yet expelled after 6 hours of labour pain.
Sept 2023 we again got pregnant. This time around things were fine for a slightly longer period. Again on December 21st I saw slight spotting, which after a week turned into clots and then contractions and expelled a girl at 20 weeks on Jan 7th 2024. I was admitted in the hospital for 12 days and again given medicines to stop the bleeding and contractions nothing worked and still expelled after 7 hours of labor.
The doctors could not find any problems with the placenta, the baby growth or the cervix itself and yet have no clue why my body keeps pushing babies out before it’s time.
Do have to mention we were intimate at 18 weeks of the second loss and then few hours later the spotting began.
Totally devastated to miscarry twice within a span on 12 months and so terrified of trying again but I am 34 now and do want another baby. Has anyone gone through something like this before ? Please advice
UPDATE: first up thank you so much for your comments I have noted them all down to ask my OBGYN. Few updates on the comments received :
1. I had a normal vaginal delivery for my first in 2020. Zero complications
2. Unfortunately for both my miscarriages I did not know we could have had the babies tested so we didn’t.
3. I am A1B positive blood group and don’t have any major symptoms/ problems that I know of (thyroid , BP , cervical damage autoimmune / other issues) but I will check into Everything in the coming two months
4. I have a derailed MRI and other other blood scheduled in March (once uterus is back to normal). I am just not able to wait that long and I have a feeling they might all come back normal
5. I don’t have PCOS , my cycles are as regular as a German clock
6. We didn’t have any major trouble with conception.
First pregnancy and third pregnancy was conceived within a month and second was conceived after 7 months of trying
7. For my first loss (15+4) weeks I had low lying placenta and mad cough which the doctors say could have triggered the bleeding
8. For my second loss 20 weeks I had amniotic sludge and very mild UTI for which I was on IV medication of Antibiotics
