Welcome to r/PregnancyAfterLoss.

This sub is an offshoot of r/ttcafterloss. That sub unfortunately grew so much that there was a need for a new sub for those lucky enough to be pregnant again after their loss. We are an entire sub dedicated to those who are pregnant after loss (or their SOs).

Please read our rules and our sidebar to familiarize yourself with the customs and guidelines of our subreddit before posting and participating here.

We encourage you to do an introduction when you join (in the Weekly Intro Thread ), participate in our 2 daily threads (divided by AM and PM), and use our multiple Weekly Threads.

Standalone posts require Mod approval, which will have a delay. Standalones should be used for birth announcements and unique/complex issues that haven't been addressed in previous posts. Other standalone posts will be declined and you'll be directed to one of our Daily or Weekly threads.

We want to foster a sense of community, which is why we have a centralized place for most daily conversation. This allows users to post and get replies, but also encourages them to reply to others in the same thread. We want you to receive help and be there for others at the same time, if possible. Most milestones should go in the Dailies, along with regular updates, anxiety posts, and questions.

Users here all share a common theme - we've experienced pregnancy or infant loss. That means that many topics you may have questions about have probably been discussed, so you may also find the Search function to be helpful.

Thanks for helping us create a great community.

Limbo/Concerns Weekly Pregnancy Limbo/Concerns - October 12, 2026

5 Upvotes

We created this space to share pregnancy concerns like:

- Beta HCGs that seem low or might not be doubling appropriately

- Concerning ultrasound findings

- Bleeding issues

- Etc

These posts are welcome in our Daily Thread, but this is a specific area to discuss limbo and concerns.

Lets all remember HCG averages, too!
- Under 1,200 mIU/ml: <72 Hours

- 1200-6000 mIU/ml: Between 72 and 96 Hours is average, so <96 is good

- Over 6,000 mIU/ml: >96 Hours is normal, with no known average (so varied)

Birth post! Got my girl!

142 Upvotes

So grateful to have my girl here! She is 6 weeks old today. I miscarried around 6 weeks last Halloween and found out i was pregnant again on new years eve.

Just want to share one thing in case it helps someone: with both pregnancies i had first trimester spotting/bleeding. With the first, it started around 4 weeks (pink and bright red) then was followed by brown spotting and cramping that eventually became a miscarriage.

The second one, i also had the spotting around 4 weeks but it went away. Then it came back at 8 weeks. In both instances, it was right when my period would have been. I had trouble finding info about this online but my obgyn said she’s seen it before, sometimes it’s called breakthrough bleeding. She gave me a progesterone prescription after the second instance and it went away immediately. I stayed in progesterone through the first trimester. Now my baby is here! Hope this helps someone ❤️ bleeding is terrifying especially when you’ve experienced a loss. Sending love to everyone here.
