OMG I logged on as I am in exactly the same position.
I had a missed miscarriage at the end of June - worst thing ever. I am now 10 + 6 with our second pregnancy. I am really anxious this time around, so I went for a private early scan - it was amazing, heart pounding away. But I am now around the time that I was when little one's heart stopped beating last time, and I am massively anxious.
In my first pregnancy, I had no symptoms other than tender boobs - but this time, I felt nauseous (although wasn't sick) almost all day, was really repulsed by a lot of food, was tired and sore big boobs (i'm a petite person so feels very different). Until this week. Literally all my symptoms have gone away.
I have spent the last two weeks in tears!! Just all a bit too much. Unfortunately just found out that my husband is going to Norway for 2 months, on Monday! So he will miss the scan, and I feel like I really need his support. He was in Afghan when the miscarriage happened, and got flown home, but it just made it so much harder and I so desperately don't want that to happen again.
I saw the midwife this week, completed the initial papers, and she asked me about the earlier miscarriage - and I broke down - subsequently referred to counselling.
All I really want is a scan to see if everything is ok. It's reassuring what you say Veronicaspeedwell, about the placenta and hormones - I just so hope that is the case for me.
Does anyone know if we were to ask the midwife, whether they would arrange a scan, given the level of anxiety?
