I can't stop thinking I'm having a MMC

Hi,

I should be 7.5 weeks pregnant. But if it wasn't for the positive pregnancy test I wouldn't know!

With my son, by this stage, I had a really strong sense of smell and crazy food aversion as well as the metallic taste. With my daughter, from 5 weeks I was vomiting constantly.

But this time round I have no symptoms whatsoever. I'm really worried I'm having a MMC. I'm lying awake at night worrying about it and worrying all day! I really just don't feel pregnant.

I'm on aspirin and progesterone as it is a high risk pregnancy.

I've a scan booked for the 30th. Can't get one sooner as I'm abroad at the moment.

Has anyone had a similar experience and what was the outcome??

Thanks a mill x

Bump - I guess it would be great to hear positive and negative stories from others who had NO symptoms! TIA

I think you'll get a mix of both tbh and it probably won't be much help to you. Personally, with my mmc I had no early pg symptoms and didn't feel pg. At the 12 week scan it wasn't a surprise to be told no viable heartbeat, as I'd also had brown spotting which I didn't get in my other pgs.
I know it's hard , try not to dwell on it as there is nothing you can do to affect the outcome. Fingers tightly crossed for you.

I haven't got any symptoms other than tiredness and nausea which were caused by infections and not the normal morning sickness I had with my first pregnancy. I had a reassurance scan at 9 weeks just to be sure and thankfully healthy so far. On the other hand I had a missed miscarriage last year and I felt so pregnant and felt it in my breasts and felt the same as I did with my first healthy pregnancy but found out baby had died at 6.5 weeks in my 13 week scan.
Good luck with it all. I'm feeling really anxious with it all aswell but just trying to stay calm

It's such an awful feeling and it's very hard to offer reassurance. I've had 2 mmc and I'm unsure if I am having a 3rd. My first one, all my symptoms stopped and I just stopped feeling pregnant. My second I felt very pregnant all the way through so it was a huge shock to find at the scan that I had had another mmc.
I'm currently also 7.5 weeks and don't feel anything. I was convinced about 10 days ago that I had miscarried again as I had brown spotting and cramps and the very little symptoms I had stopped. I have to wait until the 24th for a scan and keep having panic attacks just thinking about it.
Keeping my fingers crossed for both of us!

Thanks @RedHelenB @Zen8 and @onelostsoulswimminginafishbowl .

I woke up yesterday morning and was bleeding a bit. Went to EPU to get checked out and the pregnancy was only measuring 5 weeks with no signs of life.

I'm in limbo at the moment, still bleeding, but nothing major. Waiting to see what happens. I have an appointment on Friday to discuss options.

I wish you all the very best in your respective journeys. @Zen8 and @onelostsoulswimminginafishbowl - I really really wish you the very best and sending a big hug to you.
