Please could someone explain the differences between these terms/abbreviations?

[Aworryingtrend]

This is a sensitive topic so I hope people don't mind me asking.

I see people refering to mc (miscarriage) and mmc(I think this is missed miscarriage?) and also chemical pregnancy?

Please could someone explain the differences between them? I feel a bit dense for not knowing.

Mmc is usually found at a scan and the baby has died but not mc and the mother needs medical help to finish the process

CP is a pregnancy which is picked up by a test but then bleeding starts. Like a v early mc. They happen more often than people know , you only realise when you are TTC and v conscious of dates.

Thank you Harriet. We have only been trying a few months and I am still getting to grips with some of the terms used.

I had never heard of either until TTC dd3 so don't worry about asking, people are nice here (unless you go in AIBU )

Sorry I'm so new to all this too! What's AIBU?

I didn't know either and I've no excuse, I've been here ages. Good question and thanks for the answer!

AIBU is the Am I Being Unreasonable board, where things often get a little heated!
