Pregnancy after miscarriages, anxiety and early scan

[Summer1986]

I'm currently around 7 weeks pregnant, this is my third pregnancy.
My first pregnancy was a MMC found on an early scan at 9 weeks, I had two agonising weeks waiting for a repeat scan before having my miscarriage managed medically. My second pregnancy ended at 5+4 spontaneously.

How do others who have been in this situation deal with the anxiety? Every time I go to the loo I'm scared of finding blood, I've taken 11 pregnancy tests so far to make sure the lines got darker and to check I am still pregnant.

I'm in two minds about whether to go for a private early scan this time or not. On the one hand the relief of seeing a heartbeat would be huge. On the other I don't think I could cope with the 2 week of uncertainty between scans that we had last time if all isn't as it should be.

If you had an early scan what was your experience like?

Just come from my early scan and all fine. I cried. Honestly, I felt sick with nerves and slept so badly last night. Such a relief this morning. Baby is measuring 8wks 5 days, 4 days ahead of my dates so same as you @Summer!

Hope everyone else is doing OK

@Creme congratulations! That's brill. Roll on the formal 12 week scans.

Hello, I wanted to join this thread as think will help me. Just found out today (although waiting for final call) that I have had a mc or failed pregnancy as they called it. We have been trying for nearly 2 years now and the pregnant 1-2 weeks on the cb digital on Sunday evening and Monday morning was the best feeling ever and I am clinging on to the fact at least I can get pregnant (I am 32) and I have brought pregnacare vitamins incl B12 and Folic Acid so I'm hoping it won't be long before I have happy news again!!
