Pregnant after loss

I had a missed miscarriage in December. I found out at my 12-week scan that the baby had stopped growing around 8 weeks.

I’m now 6 weeks pregnant again. My booking appointment isn’t for another two weeks and my first scan isn’t until a month after that. Is there anything I should be doing in the meantime?

I’m taking Pregnacare Pregnancy Max. Last time, the midwife gave me extra folic acid and soluble aspirin. Should I start those again now while I wait? Anything else I should consider?

I’m 41 and this will be my last pregnancy, whatever the outcome.

OP, I was you. Also previous MMC. Had my first and only at 41. Wait for the midwife appointment for advice on supplements. I brought my own doppler so I could hear the heartbeat whenever I needed assurance. I had an elective CS and it was bliss.
