Pregnancy loss at 12 weeks💛

Hello mums and dads, I’m looking for positive stories of healthy pregnancies after loss. We just went for our 12 week scan and our baby had no heartbeat and had passed away around 9 + 3 ish weeks. A large sub chorionic hematoma was noted at 6 weeks (I had a scan due to a small bleed) and I had another scan at 9 weeks and the baby had a strong heartbeat and everything was okay even though the SCH was still present. We want to try again after my next period but I’m just so scared to get back on that bed again and have more ultrasounds. I don’t think I’ll ever be 100% ready to face that moment.

I am so sorry to read this :( I had a missed miscarriage, i was around 9 weeks but the baby had stopped growing at 7. Hearing those words will never leave me. Just give yourself time. I got pregnant with my son 4 months later and my pregnancy was absolutley fine apart from me worrying before every single scan.

I am so sorry for your loss. I did have a missed miscarriage and had another loss. My next pregnancy gave me my wonderful 4 year old son.

when you have lost a pregnancy and are pregnant again. It will be in your notes.

I found when I was pregnant with my 4th (after two losses). When I went for scans :
I used to be terrified. I was convinced that each scan would be bad news. It’s natural. Take people with you. Share with people, let people help you.

as your notes will show you lost a baby. I found with the last pregnancy, the clinician performing the scan would tell me very quickly there was a heartbeat. If they don’t ask.

@Jennyftb So sorry for your loss. I too have suffered a MMC. My hopes for baby had only managed to make to a six week embryo but I didnt know until my 12 week scan.. it was and remains the most awful experience I have ever had. I completely get how you feel about any scans you may have going forwards and I know many on these boards will also empathise with this. For me, it is not the worry about whether or not I am pregnant at the end of each cycle, or even the fear that I will conceive and have a chemical pregnancy (I have had a couple of these too) it is literally a fear of getting as far as a scan and getting bad news. It's a horrible and shocking feeling and I am sending you virtual hugs and peace for next time x

I should have also added that there have been quite a few ladies on these boards who have had MMCs and gone in to have hapoy and healthy pregnancies.

I had a miscarriage at 17 weeks. 2 months later was pregnant with oldest Dd who is now 18, her sister is 16. Yes i was anxious but was very suprised that I just felt very different about the pregnancy too. 1 day at a time, there is hope xx
