Pregnant after MMC

[LinaDee]

Just wondered if anyone else was in the same position just now?
Found out tonight that I am pregnant again after an MMC and ERPC at the end of June.
I'm so excited but terrified too. If feels slightly tainted by everything that happened in the last few months.

Would really like to speak to other ladies who are the same! Thanks

Hi lina I'm in the exact same position as you. Mmc at 10 weeks, ERPC end of June and now six weeks pregnant. The magic of a BFP/pregnancy is virtually non existent now and I'm terrified. Over analysing every little thing on a daily basis. It really is no fun and I feel like I can't let myself even begin to contemplate a successful pregnancy uncase I jinx myself.

I can highly recommend joining the due in April following a MC thread on the antenatal board. We're all in the same boat and will understand how you feel.

Hello ladies, I'm not in that position now but have been there previously - my first pregnancy ended in a MMC discovered at 12 weeks and those initial weeks of my 2nd pregnancy were so tough. I couldn't stop worrying, everything felt so uncertain. It did get easier but the MMC had a lasting impact - I think the biggest thing I would say is to be kind to yourselves. What really helped me was to buy an item of clothing for my baby, it felt like I was putting my faith in him and in my body but that may not feel right for you. Hopefully you will find lots of support on here.

Thinking of you both and wishing you and your pregnancies well x

Hi OneDay and flutter - I'm sorry for both if your losses.

OneDay - I will try to find that other thread, I've already joined the May 2015 thread. I am already doing the same and over analysing everything too- every wee ache or pain in my tummy, I have myself convinced it's something sinister. I can't let myself think it could be ok - I've never felt so vulnerable but I so badly want this to go well.

Thank you for the advice flutter. I feel like I almost need to put it to the back of my mind until I can have a reassurance scan or something. I'm not sure I could go out and buy something just now. Going to need to seriously look into some relaxation techniques!
