Pregnancy 10 weeks handhold please

[littlehotdog]

Hi sorry for posting here just scared and need a hand hold!

I've had two mcs this year. One at 6 weeks and one at 12 weeks although a scan at 8 weeks showed baby was far too small (with a heartbeat though) so we knew things weren't going well.

After my last mc I fell pregnant immediately and I'm now 10 weeks. This morning I felt slightly ill but I'm terrified. I don't feel many symptoms and I'm so scared I'm going to miscarry again or I've already had a missed mc.

We saw baby at 8 weeks and he had a strong heartbeat then. I've booked in for a scan Friday (today) at 11:30 but I'm just terrified.

We just started to get excited again and enjoy the pregnancy a bit. Now I'm worried it's all going to go wrong again :-( I can't face telling work and family I've lost another baby.

:-( I wish I had a magic ball and could see myself in July 2019 with a happy healthy baby!

Oh, you poor love I'm sure everything is fine your anxiety will be heightened after two mcs you're bound to be thinking the worst. Get some sleep, and look forward to 11.30 x

Two hands here for holding, squeezi ng and whatever else is needed. Sorry you're having a tough time

Thinking of you, I hope the scan has positive news for you and your partner xx

Studies show that if you see a strong heartbeat at 8 weeks, there is a 98% chance that everything will be fine and the pregnancy will continue to the birth.

It's natural to worry (I know I did just before the scan) and whilst nobody can ever guarantee anything will go wrong, it really is very unlikely to do so now. With those odds, I would genuinely bet my life savings that you'll be holding your newborn in ~7 months' time.

*guarantee nothing will go wrong.

This is what happens when I type in the middle of the night!

Hang in there lovely, only a few hours until you get the reassurance of the scan.
I was in your position with no2 son, at 11 weeks, and even had some bleeding, and he was 24 this year!
I will be thinking of you later on, just try to stay calm (easier said than done I know)

Big hugs Sorry to hear about your other losses.

A strong heartbeat at 8 weeks is a great indicator and it's good that you're having regular scans for peace of mind. Just take a breath, and think positive. Fingers crossed for you

sending you hugs and very best wishes. I had 2 MC and know the dread and worry you are feeling. Now got 2 happy healthy teens. Best of luck with the scan. Xx

Bless you op, I really hope you have good news at your scan.

Fwiw my symptoms seemed to stop a few times in early pregnancy and I was so scared but needn't have been. Hormones are strange things and they fluctuate, as do our tolerance to them

Oh god, best of luck OP - I know how it it, I had three missed miscarriages. Never ever had a heartbeat after 6 weeks though - as a PP said, if you see a heartbeat at 8 weeks there is an excellent chance that all is well. Keeping everything crossed for you for this morning.

Thank you all for your kindness :-) and for sharing your stories :-) I've not slept at all 🤦🏻‍♀️ I think I'm just so afraid it's going to be bad news. I've been looking up statistics and videos of scans and all sorts! Realistically I am going to have to find a way to get a grip or this will continue all the way through my pregnancy 😞

Good luck, I hope it goes well

Best of luck for this morning, will be thinking of you

Possibly the feeling unwell are just the effects of the pregnancy on your body. I really really hope its that, big hand squeeze here. Xxx

Handhold @littlehotdog, I had a very similar experience with miscarriages this year. I am now 13 weeks pregnant. I had a scan at 8 weeks, one at 11 weeks and one yesterday. All is well with the baby and I'm starting to believe they will actually be here in June.

I have no advice as I got myself into a bit of a state worrying about each scan. It's hard not to with that history (I also had one discovered at 12 week scan). But just know that statistically, the odds are overwhelmingly in your favour!

What you're feeling is totally normal. Miscarriage takes away the innocence of pregnancy unfortunately. I found the first trimester tough. Feel so much better getting past that dating scan mark, and you will too.

You're pregnant! Congratulations ❤️

Last year I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks (2nd miscarriage) this year 1 year to the day I again had to go to epu as I was bleeding heavily baby was there measuring 6w6d. I was amazed but still terrified that it would all end. The next 5 weeks I was like a cat on hot bricks. 12 weeks scan reassured me for about 3 days and then I was worrying again. I booked a 15 week private scan to bridge the gap and after that I started to feel better.

I'm sat here with my newborn

Nothing anyone can say will take that worry away but chances are it will work out. All the best.

Just wanted to add a handhold. I'm 9 wks today (supposedly) with DS2, after multiple losses prior to having DS1. It's terrifying isn't it. I've had two decent scans at 6 weeks and at 7.5, both ok and baby on time, but I also keep feeling like I could start bleeding at any minute, and my tummy feels like I've swallowed bricks. Fingers crossed your scan goes fine, I do think everything starts to really stretch from 9 weeks and you can end up feeling very heavy etc. That's certainly how I feel. Big hand hold.

Perhaps its sickness kicking in? Mine started about this time, freaked me out as my mmc had gone the same way. I vomited for rest of first and second trimester and have a healthy dc.

Miscarriage makes you question everything and as a pp said you lose your happy glow and innocence l.

I have been there lovely really hope all is ok today

I really hope your scan proves you otherwise and calms your nerves...lots of

He was there :-) and measuring 11 weeks! Got to see his little toes ! 😂 and he was wiggling away!

Thank you all for your support :) I'm so happy!

Ah congrats OP I was thinking of you this morning. Now the fun begins

Great news

Great news op!
