Driving myself crazy with worry

I guess I just wanted to write down how I'm feeling.
I had a mc on 19/12/14
Now approx 7 weeks pg, didn't have a period in between. Had bloods to check Hcg was rising last week.
I have had raging nausea which was reassuring me but hard with a toddler to care for so in the early hours of this am when it was stopping me sleeping, DP went out and bought sickness bands. They helped which was great, I took them off at lunch as they're not very comfy, but the sickness hasn't come back and now I'm worrying the loss of symptom is a sign of mc. I have the mw on Monday and a scan on tues so I just need to get through the weekend. I am driving myself crazy. I know how irrational it is.

I'm not sure what I'm after, just wanted to write it down I think

I'm sorry to hear about your m/c. It must be so worrying for you now, but I hope you can keep busy with your toddler and get through the next few days. I don't have any advice really, although I would say keep wearing the sickness bands, I found them super uncomfortable for the first few days but after that they were fine and I wore them day and night until I was 15 weeks. They helped loads, so did ginger and lemon tea. Wishing you all the best for your scan and appointments.

Hi sorry to post on someone else's thread and so sorry to hear about your miscarriage I'm praying you had good news at your scan!! I'm currently seven and half weeks pregnant and have been bleeding continually for nearly two weeks like a period it is usually very dark but not has become very red and uncomfortable I have returned to hospital many of times in past few weeks and had four scans all in which baby was fine but since tonight I saturated a pad and feel very concerned and upset. I just wanna know my baby is gonna make it has anyone else experienced this? Xxx

Mummy2mollie can you call a midwife for advice or out of hours gp? It doesn't matter how many scans you have or how many times you need to go. Being reassured and you and baby being safe is important. I'm sorry you're going through such a worrying time x

There like give it another week and then call back if it's still persisting but I've had no swabs, no internals or anything I have previously had two miscarriages prior to my DD and just can't rest with worry! My partners not being great either! Xx

I would insist on going back. They can test your Hcg levels with a blood test 48 hours apart to ensure they're increasing and scan you if needed.

I hate being given the brush off because to them you're one of many. They sometimes forget that to you that baby is not one of many.

I'm sorry you're going through this horrible worrying time. I hope all is well.

Could you call a midwife? Out of hours? X

Mummytomollie I had a bright red bleed at 12 weeks and was so worried, crying and went to A&E had bloods taken and urine sample both came back fine then had to wait for an early scan the next morning, that was the worst night of my life. Anyway the next day baby was there kicking and moving like crazy and all was well. They said some women just bleed! X

How long is normal to bleed?

Mollie, I think some women bleed intermittently but constant bleeding should definitely be looked at.

Thank you pp - sorry can't recall the name. I'm so sorry for your losses. It's heartbreaking. I have all crossed for your scan.
I've got through today and had a little nausea which has reassured me but not totally. 2 more days. I really want everything to be ok. I cannot think about the future or the joyful idea of any of it. I had awful ante natal depression with my dd because of this. I really want to be able to enjoy it this time x
