Pregnancy after miscarriage

[lynzw]

Hi all
I am 6 1/2 weeks pregnant now after suffering a miscarriage last September. I am petrify of it happening again and just can't allow myself to get excited about it. Did anyone else experience this and any advice that they can give? Also besides bigger boobs I just don't feel pregnant at all and it's making me worry even more.
Any advice would be great thanks x

I've been there, it is horrible and does take the shine off the pregnancy. All you can do is take it one day at a time, at each scan your chances of a successful birth increases. I paid for an early scan and it was worth every penny, I still got nervous and anxious but I felt that this pregnancy had a better chance.

Good luck and I hope you have a successful pregnancy.

Also, apart from tiredness I didn't really get much in the way of symptoms until far later. Lack of symptoms does not mean anything.

Thank you Korabora - i have been getting extremely tired too but I think I'm just comparing it to when I had my daughter as I had awful morning sickness then and then the pregnancy with the miscarriage I had none and again I have none now that's why I'm worrying I think. Thanks for replying x

No advice really but wanted you to know that your not alone I’m currently going through the same. I had a mmc in July last year, 5 cycles later I’m coming up to 6 weeks. I’m scared and anxious, i’m Battling over whether or not to book an early scan. But hey we aren’t the only women to have gone through this, we just have to stay positivitie. New sperm, new egg! I’ve only got heavy boobs and extreme tiredness at the moment myself. All the best to you 😘 xxx

Congrats babycakes and keep me updated! Yes that's what I keep saying to myself this is a new different pregnancy it's just so hard to not worry. Sending positive vibes your way x

Same situation as you.
Currently 4+5 in my fifth pregnacy (second child). Three recurrent ones after my DS so petrified this will go same way. Worried that maybe having my ds May have done something to me meaning I can't have anymore (irrational I know!).

Sorry to hear that @angel0071987 - have you had any scans to check all ok after d and c have they offered you any?

You're not alone @lynzw, i also suffered a miscarriage in September and I'm 13 weeks pregnant. I still can't accept it and don't want to 'just incase'.

I've been lucky enough to feel flutters already, but haven't felt any yet this morning so now I'm worrying. I know the baby is so small I'm so lucky to actually feel anything, but after a miscarriage you worry about everything don't you.

I'm not finding out the sex of this baby, to save myself heartache if anything does happen. I k ow that's so stupid but I feel it's the only way I can deal with it right now. I haven't bought a single thing yet and don't plan on doing so till my 20 week scan.

It's so sad we can't get excited & pregnancy after loss is filled with anxiety xxx

@littleV58 sorry to hear this I hope you start enjoying it the more you feel little one wiggling around. I'm just petrified of going to the scan and nothing is even there at the moment it's very hard to think positively x

Hi, I had an mmc in November. Currently 7w, had a scan at 6w after some spotting and it was such a relief to see a heartbeat. I know things could change ( last stopped growing at 8w) so not taking anything for granted but the scan definitely made me feel better. I've got my next scan booked in for 9w, I'm going to be a nervous wreck walking into it, but as a pp has said, new sperm, new egg, so no reason behind the outcome shouldn't be positive. Fx for you x

@lynzw I didn't have a d&c with my last at 15weeks (day off 16weeks) I had to be induced so went through labour to deliver her. The other two were spontaneous so no surgical intervention required.

@angel0071987 oh sorry I read the original message wrong. Did they do any tests with it being your 3rd miscarriage? So sorry you were so far along too I can't imagine sending you lots of positive vibes this one will be all good x

I hope you're OK OP. I haven't had a mc previously but have many close friends and family go through it and I still can't imagine how difficult it must be to relax especially as I am terribly anxious despite 3 good pregnancy experiences previously. I actually wrote a similar post about not feeling pregnant and lack of symptoms at about 6/7 weeks, I've always had terrible morning sickness and tiredness in first trimester and some of second and so I was convinced something was wrong.... The morning sickness arrived at 8 weeks and is still going now at 18weeks, although a little easier. I haven't felt any movements at all, I know they say you can feel from 16+ with second pregnancy but I haven't in past until 20 weeks so I'm trying not to worry about that but I have forgotten so much since last baby 5 years ago I keep questioning everything. I know too well things can go wrong but trying to stay positive. I hope you can enjoy your pregnancy soon, I've had friends and midwife reassure me (on baby number 4) endlessly that each pregnancy is different so stop comparing and getting in a panic but it's no use. Fingers crossed for you and a lovely pregnancy. Xx

Thank you @Justus22 and congratulations! My mum tells me all the time she had no sickness with myself and my brother but I still worry probably as I only have one successful pregnancy to compare it to. Hopefully this time round will be a happy outcome 😊 x

I felt exactly the same after my mmc. It takes the innocence away from any future pregnancies. My rainbow baby is a happy and healthy 4yo boy sitting right next to me now.
I was able to relax a bit after the 12 week scan, but still burst into tears at the 20 week scan when I saw the heart beat again. I hadn’t realised I was still so worried.

@daisydalrymple it really does doesn't it. It's sad I can't just feel happy and positive. I think after the 12 week scan I will feel a little better
Thanks x

Very best wishes x
