Loss of symptoms

[Yarnie]

Hi all

I'm 7 weeks pregnant and have only had mild pregnancy symptoms: slightly sore boobs, bloating, some constipation, twinges and pulls in my uterus and noticeable tiredness. Yesterday evening these symptoms stopped very suddenly.

I had a MMC in November last year. The baby died at 7 weeks, but I didn't start bleeding until 10 weeks. I wasn't paying so much attention to my symptoms in my last pregnancy, but I did notice that my symptoms had gone a day or two before I started bleeding.

Obviously, I am very, very anxious that I am miscarrying again.

Has anyone else experienced this, and what was the outcome.

I have a scan booked for next Thursday (booked some time ago, not because of my current concerns), so I may as well wait it out, I suppose...

Hi. So sorry about your mc last year. That must have been awful.
I'm certainly no expert (I'm only 20 weeks with first pregnancy), but my symptoms suddenly stopped at about 10 weeks which caused me a great deal of concern. But after about 4 days they started up again with avengence! So it doesn't always have to be bad news.

Have you phoned your midwife to see if someone can see you sooner than Thursday to put your mind at rest?

Hi there

Don't worry - the symptoms do come and go. Mine are worse if I'm tired, so then I have a nap, and wake up feeling fine, which makes me paranoid that I'm not fine, if you see what I mean. Mine also disappeared for a day or two at around 8 weeks which led to much mentalling from me, plus prodding my breasts obsessively, including in public (no shame). I have had 4 early MCs, have one lovely DS. Anyway, I am now roughly 12 weeks and midwife found a heartbeat with a doppler yesterday (scan date still hasn't come through) so I am vastly relieved. Try not to think about the symptoms too much if possible. Good luck :)

MsChanandler Thanks for your reassurance, I appreciate it, and congratulations on your pregnancy. I keep prodding my boobs, desperately hoping they'll be sore again(!) My scan is a private scan and I don't know how easy it would be to rearrange given the impending holidays. I know, from experience, that my local EPU won't scan unless there is bleeding.

In a perverse way, I'd almost rather wait. Delaying the possibility of bad news, I guess.

Yarnie - I am pregnant after a mmc at the end of last year, am now 18 weeks but pretty much every day I have a little mentalling attack about something going wrong (and I'm having scans every week at the minute as having id twins so I know everything is fine). I think it is par for the course after a mc and would be very difficult not to worry.

Good luck with your pregnancy!

Oh, and there is a thread on the conception board (I have no idea how to link it) full of lovely people going through the exact same thinkg "freak out room for those newley updiffed after mc"

Thanks Silverangel. That Freak Out room sounds like the place for me ;-)

Starkadder I'm so sorry you've had to endure 4 MC. I don't know how you got through it, but it obviously paid off! Congratulations on being 12 weeks!

You are right, I should stop thinking of my symptoms. I know they ebb and flow. It's just so difficult once you've noticed, to put it out of your mind.

I am currently obsessing over the impact on my DS. I have been epically tired for the last month and consequentially a rubbish mum. If I miscarry I will be plagued with guilt about having put him through that, and he will no doubt pick up on my upset, and of course, I will want to get pregnant again. How many times am I going to pit him through that.

[Sigh] Oh for the days of uncomplicated pregnancy...

Oh, and Silverangel, I'm so sorry about your MMC. Such a devastating experience, I know. I'm glad everything seems to be going well this time around.
