Pregnant after miscarriage, symptoms disappeared

[reddressblueshoes]

I'm 8w 2days according to my dates, but 7w 4 according to an early scan I had on Monday, which actually lines up pretty well with when my app reckons I ovulated. However I've been freaking out all evening because my pregnancy symptoms have all disappeared.

Last May, I miscarried at a similar point- I had some bleeding when I was 6 weeks, a couple of scans showed there was still a heartbeat but they booked me in for another early scan a week after the bleeding had stopped at 8wks and It showed a missed miscarriage- looked like baby stopped growing at about 7w 2.

This time, I've been feeling much more positive- I've had terrible nausea, which I know puts you at a slightly lower risk of miscarriage, and I planned to have a private scan at 8 wks so I could feel a bit reassured as I'd be passed the danger zone. Except then the scan showed my dates were off, so I'm actually at exactly the point it went wrong last time, and then today after feeling really bad nausea, esp in the evenings, since wk 5 it's just lifted totally. I've eaten loads this evening, and I feel somehow different.

I'm terrified, and don't know what to do. My GP said she'd refer me to EPU if I start bleeding again but I haven't. I know I'm probably being silly. I also know everything looked fine on Monday- heartbeat of 130, no obvious reason to worry.

Can someone tell me I'm being silly? There's nothing to it really but to wait at least another couple of weeks and maybe pay for another private scan. It took us 9 months to get pregnant each time, I so desperately need everything to work out with this baby and I don't know if there's anything else I can do.

I don't think I can really help but just wanted to say so sorry for your loss

And if it offers you any reassurance I also had a miscarriage in my first pregnancy (missed miscarriage - stopped growing at 6 weeks but wasn't confirmed until 10 weeks) but my second pregnancy progressed without issue and my little girl is now 9 months old. I spent my second pregnancy worrying the whole way through, it was horrendous and I had a lot of private scans.

I don't think you're being silly at all, it's only natural to worry.

If it helps, I had symptoms from finding out at 4 weeks (cramps, sore boobs, feeling nauseous, etc) then everything disappeared by 6 weeks and I felt totally normal again. Fast forward to 9ish weeks and morning sickness kicked in proper, all normal again by 13 ish weeks and have had nothing until I started feeling the baby move around 18 weeks. I've worried in the periods I've felt nothing going on but it's all been fine, I think your body adjusts until something new hits it then it gets thrown out a little again until it gets used to the new thing.
