I was 24 when I had an abortion because I wasn't with the right partner. Now I am happily married and we were unlucky last year with a blighted ovum. This year I am meant to be 11 months pregnant today but I have some strong fears.
I have had very severe signs, swollen boobs, swollen stomach, growth tingles, nausea and vomiting, tiredness.... And these are almost all gone.
It's taken about a full week for them to really calm down but even my boobs and extra fat have all shrunken back and I feel too normal. I saw a heartbeat at 6 weeks but my next scan is a week away.
I am so convinced that it is a missed miscarriage and that my body is calming down because I have had these symptoms before from the blighted ovum. I am trying to take the motto "what will be will be" but I'm also not really sure how I should be feeling...
If you have any thoughts or advice it would be greatly welcomed,
Rosie

My symptoms disappeared at 10 weeks and I was shitting myself. Booked a private scan and all was well. Symptoms are caused by hormones which fluctuate. I miscarried at 8 weeks this time last year and that pregnancy was symptom-free from the start and I had pain and bleeding. I'm sure all will be fine but do get checked out for peace of mind if it will make you feel better 
A Doppler won't find anything at 11 weeks.
It's totally normal for symptoms to go around 11 weeks - but could you book a private scan for reassurance? They cost anything from £40-£100 depending on location etc.
Try to be positive 
Hi Wilson. Sorry you're going through this stressful experience. At around 10 weeks the placenta does start the process of taking over and so your hormones start to settle down a little which could account for your loss of symptoms. If you're not having pain or bleeding that is a positive sign
Good luck

A midwife won't even try and listen in to baby until 16 weeks. I'm 38+1 today and it took my midwife a good few minutes to find the heartbeat, so ignore the advice above.
Good luck with the scan. I'm sure everything will be fine. Please let us know how you get on.
Early pregnancy is so scary - only a scan can let you know what is happening. I really hope all is well. 
AMAZING!!!
My 12 week scan showed my little baby moving and I listened to his heart beat :)
The doctor said it was totally normal If you have had bad experiences in the past to be more pessimistic the next time around.
I can finally start to believe this might actually happen!
