Different symptoms with MC pregnancies

I found out a few days ago I’ve had a missed miscarriage. I’m in a whirlwind of emotions and just wait inf to have the surgical procedure later this week.

Looking back im wondering if the signs were there all along that something wasn’t right. I found out very early 3/4 weeks and since then the symptoms I had were very different from the ones I had with my previous successful pregnancy. With my first DD I had constipation, very sore boobs and morning (all day) sickness, strong food aversions and I just felt pregnant and a connection to the baby. This time I had no sore boobs at all (although I only stopped BF a few months before falling pregnant so I don’t know if that’s a factor), I was pooping a lot (not like diarrehea just more frequently than usual and slightly softer, sorry TMI), I did have morning sickness but this stopped at 8 weeks which is when the MC would have happened. I didn’t feel a strong connection with this baby and I was quite anxious about having another so close after my first.

Im just wondering if anyone else felt like this? That looking back they knew from the start something was different? I guess I’m asking because it might give me some comfort to know that the pregnancy was never going to be successful.

I don't think there is a way to know. I had many miscarriages. I'd find the strips got lighter, cramps with a couple..
One out the blue no signs whatsoever and started bleeding. One i had a severe hempilegic migraine and next morning miscarried.

But then my boy..the tests were getting lighter, clear blue week said 1-2 weeks at 6, weeks. Had a migraine and cramps. I was sure it was another loss, i had no morning sickness sore boobs or any symptoms too...but nope he is here..So i think you just can't really tell, each pregnancy is so difference you can't predict it, but will drive yourself mad trying too, like I did :(

I'm very sorry about what your going through. It's awful. Xx

@Earlybirdtweetiepie thank you for your reply and really sorry to hear about your losses.

I know you’re right and every pregnancy is different. It’s just so hard to stop wondering why it happened. Obviously it’s still fresh right now but I can’t stop thinking about it.

I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I've had 4 missed miscarriages now and to be honest my experience has been different with each of them. First pregnancy I had very few symptoms but a few days before I had my scan I had this horrible feeling something wasn't right. Second, I had some light spotting and minor symptoms but no clue anything was wrong. Third, I had horrible morning sickness that lasted right up until I woke up from miscarriage surgery. 4th had no signs anything was wrong again. So for me I don't trust or not trust anything anymore as there seems to be no pattern at all to it!

I've so sorry that you've lost your baby @smiler271

I had a great many miscarriages and to be honest the symptoms were different each time. The only constant was the cessation of breast enlargement and tenderness.

I hope you have a successful pregnancy in the future. Losing a baby is so sad and hard to come to terms with.

Sorry for your loss.

I had 3 successful pregnancies with very few early signs. And 1 loss which felt different from the off, including tingling nipples, which I never had with the 3 others. I have always believed that there was something not quite right from the very start with the one I lost

I'm so sorry for your loss. I questioned some things after my missed miscarriage that I had previous dismissed.

I knew 3 days after that implantation had happened my body knew I was sick from then, and throughout compared to my first pregnancy.

My 12 week scan they couldn't do the combined screening as baby was moving. I know this can happen. This meant a blood test later which was what indicated a loss
I had no symptoms that i'de miscarried apart from a fever that lasted 12 hours.

I'm not sure if these are linked but a miscarriage make you question everything
