Any positive experiences?

[mk87]

I previously had a missed miscarriage in March. I went to EPU due to bleeding and it was confirmed at 6 weeks. As I was already bleeding I don't think they could tell me how far along I was when the baby stopped growing. From the miscarriage and stories I read I would imagine I was 5 weeks ish. We were lucky enough to conceive again and I should now be 6+6 we have tried to not get excited again but I was feeling hopeful after feeling quite nauseous (had no really symptoms with the first pregnancy) however the past few days my symptoms have stopped no sickness and no stroppy temper 🙈 I'm convinced this means that this baby has stopped growing as well. No bleeding yet and I am booked in at 8 weeks for a scan. The next week is going to be a nightmare! I'm trying to prepare myself for bad news again but would love to hear if anyone has had a similar experience and a positive outcome?

I had similar- missed miscarriage at 8 weeks, reassurance scan planned for 8 weeks but dates were out so was really only 7 weeks then all symptoms disappeared. Had another private scan at 8 weeks, all was well, am now 20 weeks pregnant.

After one miscarriage, you're still vastly more likely to have a successful second pregnancy than not. That doesn't make it any less stressful though, and I think the experience of a missed miscarriage really affected me- knowing things could have gone wrong and there might not be any outward sign. To be honest, I was sure I'd stop feeling anxious once I hit twelve weeks but it's really only now I'm starting to feel movement I'm really believing everything is ok.

So- it is vastly more likely than not all is well.
And even in a worst case scenario, I believe until you've had three miscarriages in a row it is still more likely than not your next pregnancy will be successfully carried to term. Best of luck with the pregnancy, and the nerves.

Thanks! Congratulations on your pregnancy! Hopefully I will have a similar result. If you don't mind me asking how did you work out your dates were wrong as opposed to baby measuring too small. I think I'll panic if I'm lucky enough to find a heartbeat but then it's behind where it should be

Short answer, the first scan I believed them and I had been tracking ovulation so when I worked it out it made sense. The second scan a week later showed a weeks growth exactly so i knew everything was progressing

I lost all my symptoms so booked a private scan which confirmed the worst. If you feel like you've lost symptoms id be on the phone to EPAU. I know if I get pregnant again and have any worries at all I'll be on the phone lots.x

Thanks Michelle. I am booked in next week at 8 weeks. Just trying to keep sane in the meantime! From what I have read it's 50/50

Is there no chance they'd see you before?

It's such a horrible situation to be in.x

Symptoms going really doesn't mean anything. Try and think positive

Hi,
I think I'm in the same situation as you. Doc said it was probable that I had a mc after heavy bleeding and cramps (and opened cervix?!?ffs). Days later, I had a scan to see the baby on the screen...however was told not to get excited or build my hopes up.
I'm now in the middle of my 2 week wait to scan for a heartbeat.

For some positive news, my husband's boss has 3 healthy, happy girls and his wife bled throughout the duration of all 3 pregnancies!! So there's always hope for us 😊😊😊
Good luck xxx

Fingers crossed for you Jellybaby. 8 weeks is the soonest they will do a reassurance scan. No bleeding yet for me! They did say they would scan earlier if I start to though. Flying down south tonight to scatter DHs Grandad's ashes so hope nothing happens in the next few days. I know you can't hold much weight to them but I did a clear blue digital to see if my levels might be dropping and it still said 3+ #clutchingatstraws

I suggested taking a test to my husband but he's worried it'll give me false hope. I'm being wrapped in so much cotten wool! My symptoms stopped too so I think I've already come to terms with things in my head. Any good news will just be a bonus 😊

How many weeks are you Jellybaby?

Approximately 6...I should be 7 at the scan. Xx

Good luck. Mines on Thursday so fingers crossed 🤞

Not great news there is a sack and yolk there but looking around six weeks. They seemed happy and going on the theory of dates being wrong but I am confident in the dates and therefore not hopeful. Sickness has come back but that's just hormones so I am now on a two week wait to see what happens
