Struggling with pregnancy after recurrent miscarriage

I'm really struggling today and would really appreciate a hand hold. I'm 7 weeks pregnant after 3 miscarriages, and my symptoms feel like they're fading. I've had constant indigestion and nausea since 5 weeks but now they're gone, and when I've had this before it hasn't been good news. Two of them were MMC so I have no faith in my body letting go on its own.

I know I'm meant to treat each pregnancy like it's different and the RMC didn't find anything wrong, but it's really hard right now. I had a scan earlier in the week and they found a heartbeat, but instead of reassuring me I just feel more hopeless because instead of just being a hypothetical pregnancy I know there's a baby that is/was alive and maybe won't be at my next scan in 2 weeks.

For ladies who have been through this, how did you do it?

@oddsbobbins I didn't want to read & run.

I'm so sorry for your losses. Miscarriages are heartbreaking. I had one in September and it's one of the worst things you can ever go through.

As for the symptoms disappearing, I am now 17 weeks pregnant and around 3 days after I got my positive test, I had sickness. It just got worse and worse, then around 7 weeks I had about 3 good days and I freaked out. I also had a small bleed so absolutely sh*t myself... I read that it is very common between 7&9 weeks to feel normal for a few hours or days..

I know it's so bloody hard to stay positive when all you know is heartbreak and negativity!

Can you ring your local EPU and just plead for an earlier scan? Xx

Hi I’m also 7 weeks pregnant after 2 miscarriages & I have been so anxious. I have had brown spotting for the past week but had a scan a few days ago & everything looked good but can’t help but worry. And today I also feel not as sick and less tired and freaking out. I have no idea how I will get through the next few weeks but just got to stay hopeful 🤞🏻

I'm just over 10 weeks pregnant and I have had 4 previous miscarriage one being a missed miscarriage. I had horrible sickness up until 8 weeks when all symptoms slowly died off so went for an early scan and all seemed well. This only helped for a few days and have been anxious ever since waiting for my 12 week scan. Have now invested in a Doppler today and heard baby's heart beating away so has put my mind at ease and I can listen in whenever my anxiety gets to much. Good luck with your pregnancy x

Thanks so much for yuor replies ladies. I really appreciate it, it's so hard to hold your nerve in this situation. I'm going to see how I'm doing by Monday and if I'm still this anxious I'll call the EPU and ask if they can fit me in.
