Another MMC? Dreading early scan today...

Hi everyone,

Posting because I'm feeling very down this morning...
I had a MMC in May 2021. At 8 weeks I felt all my symptoms suddenly disappeared (they never came back) so I raised concerns, but was repeatedly told all was fine because there was no bleeding. Despite my telling them I'd been pregnant twice before and knew my body, I was dismissed and ignored until 11th week of first trimester when I started spotting and was finally allowed to have an ultrasound. It showed a MMC. Baby had died at 8.5 weeks- the time I'd started raising concerns, but was ignored- while the remainder of the pregnancy continued hence no bleeding. I had an MVA in May and we've been ttc again since then.

Finally got a BFP in the last few days of December last month, a rainbow baby. For the last few days I've found myself in exactly the same situation- sudden loss of all symptoms, (which for me are lower back ache, sore boobs and horrific nausea) and getting more frequent period type cramps. We have a private, early scan this afternoon as it's torturing me not knowing. My head is telling me it's bad news because I have something to compare it with, but my heart isn't ready to give up yet. I feel sick at the thought of receiving bad news again at the scan today.

Just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation and has any advice on coping with receiving more bad news.

Thank you ❤

I really feel for you. After my loss, I couldn't look the screen when I was being scanned. The nerve went through the roof every time. I have no wisdom but hope you have a good news today. Flowers

I have just found out I have had a MMC after a medical abortion at 23 weeks and 3 precipus miscarriages. Its absolutely heartbreaking. Feel completely numb at the moment.

Thank you for taking the time to reply ladies and sorry to hear of your losses 💔.

I was expecting bad news, but it was a shock and made worse by the sonographer saying she saw two (empty) sacs instead just the one we were expecting 😢.

I was told on Friday that on my first early pregnancy scan (6 weeks) that I have an empty sac… had a couple of blood tests and they have said my bloods are going up but not as much as they should be… got to have another scan this Friday to double check if not will start proceedings to remove the sack….. I have a glimmer of hope that something will be there but I don’t think I should get my hopes up..
