12 week scan after MMC

[Burtiebojangles]

5 months ago we found out we’d had a MMC at our 12 week scan. Lost baby around 8 weeks.

Today is my 12 week scan for our new pregnancy and I’m terrified.

I keep telling myself this one is different, although my symptoms persisted last time, they eased off around the time we lost the baby, I’d just not realised and probably thought it was normal. My boobs stopped hurting quite early and deflated by 12 weeks and my sickness eased to the point I wasn’t being sick daily but it was still there.

This pregnancy has wiped me out. I’ve been sick multiple times, every single day since 6 weeks, my boobs are massive and sore and I’ve been zapped of any energy. But then I know that symptoms don’t really mean a fair deal in pregnancy.

I feel quite angry that I’ve been robbed of the innocence of pregnancy, that I can’t enjoy it. On a day I should be excited to see my baby for the first time, I’m telling myself there won’t be one and preparing myself for the worst.

I think I’m just looking for a hand hold, can anyone else relate? Positive stories are very welcome 🙂

Congratulations @bertiebojangles! I feel exactly the same as you, I had my first MC on 01/09 at 10 weeks, I'm now 11 weeks pregnant with my second and scan on 03/12 and I am dreading it. I'm incredibly symptomatic unlike last time, the morning sickness is terrible and my boobs are huge so I'm trying to stay positive. But you are absolutely right I should be enjoying my pregnancy and because of the MC it is a worrying unnerving time which is SO unfair. Good luck to everyone with their scans, I'l be crossing my fingers for you, please send good vibes for me! xx

Thank you so much!

Sending all the good vibes @charrin and everyone waiting for a scan. You’re all truly deserving of the good news, we’re all a bunch of strong mommas 💪🏼😊

Brilliant news
