Anxiety through the roof

In the last year, I suffered with 3 back to back MCs. The last two were MMCs. I was seen by the recurrent miscarriage clinic after about 5 weeks which was really fast - I was grateful for that. I also went private as I felt the NHS was taking time when it came to getting bloods done. I never got around to having my bloods taken to check for APS because I conceived again.

My LMP was 07th June. So far I have had 2 scans with the EPAU and two scans privately. My last scan was almost two weeks ago, I was measuring 7 days ahead, strong heart beat and lots of movement. However, my anxiety is through the roof. I am booking another scan for 2 days time. I should be 12+5 by then. Any reassurance would be really appreciated it. I've asked ChatGPT and it has said that by measuring ahead consistently with a strong heartbeat, chances of another MC should be <1% of something. I can't help but worry. I am so worried about going for the scan then being told the dreaded news.

When I look back, there were signs of a impending MC such as slow heart rate and measuring slightly smaller than expected. I haven't had either so far.

Any positive stories or advice please?

@WasitacatisaW firstly, sending you a huge hug and hand hold. I know exactly how you're feeling right now. I had 4 MMCs and I'm now nearly 21 weeks, with my anomaly scan tomorrow which I am terrified for. There's no secret formula to not feeling anxious, I was awful from 10-12 weeks, and again the last couple of weeks my anxiety has been sky high. I have additional support through the perinatal mental health team - my midwife put a referral in for me. I hope your next scan brings good news for you x

Sorry to hear about your losses, it is so traumtic. Congrats on your current pregnancy, I hope all goes well today with your scan. I think I will speak to the midwife, after my scan tomorrow. I will feel good for a few days then it creeps back. I guess I have to try and cope as best as I can x
