Before my mam had me, she lost a baby at 13 weeks, the reason for this is that she had a more rare blood type than my dad, and therefore could not carry his children as her body was rejecting the baby as it had different antibodies to her. It is possible that this has happened to you, as you say you carried your other two children fine as they were to someone else. The problem can be fixed by you being given an anti - D injection, which enables your body to carry your husbands baby and not to reject it. I'm certain that you aren't doing anything wrong to miscarry at 9 weeks. I would most definitely make an appointment with your local GP to get both of your blood tested to see if there is a problem, Hope everything works out for you.

Hello ... I am very sorry to hear about your 2 miscarriages ... I have had 1 too so know what it's like .. very sad .. but please stay positive .. you must have been told, as I was, that 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage, for multiple reasons and many are miscarried before the woman knows she is pregnant .. Most of the miscarriages are because of chromosomal problems ... the previous poster is talking about Rhesus negative blood groups .. I know because I am also RH- so that only applies if that is your blood group. You really need to talk to your doctor or get on the web - maybe visit http://www.babycentre.co.uk .. there are lots of forums there for chats/discussions etc on this subject .. good luck and keep positive ... I am sure it will happen again for you ..
