Terrified of losing baby

[Kelcat9494]

Hello,

I just need somewhere to vent as I'm terrified, I had a miscarriage in January very early on. I'm pregnant and had a scan on the 6th June and I was 5 weeks and 5 days pregnant and a heartbeat was detected, she didn't see any abnormalities but I've barely had any symptoms, I've been sick once but other to that my boobs hurt and that's it, I've booked another private scan on Saturday so my husband can be there if it's bad news because NHS won't let partners in with you, I just can't get rid of this anxiety. I just want to cry all the time.

Thanks

Didn’t want to read and run.
I’m sorry for your loss.
I remember the feeling after my mmc, I dreaded every scan, but it got better as the weeks went on. There’s nothing you can do but wait and see, try to be kind to yourself, try to relax and take some time for yourself.
I now have a happy and healthy 10 month old, so try to stay positive.

Congratulations and good luck xx

So sorry for your loss.

Don't worry about the lack of symptoms, that literally means nothing. I had barely any at all and I'm now 37 weeks.

I suffer with anxiety and was constantly worried about losing baby but honestly the only thing that got me over it was thinking that there's nothing at all I can do about it. It's out of my hands and if it's meant to be, it will. I found all scans did was reassure me for about a day and then was back to anxiety.

Hope you feel better soon.

I had more symptoms in my pregnancies than ended in MC than in my one that continued.

I feel for you, I was anxious pretty much constantly until DS was in my arms (also had a high risk pregnancy). But I did relax a bit after the 20 week scan, and a bit more once so could feel him kick (anterior placenta so I didn’t actually feel him convincingly until 24 weeks).
