5+4 after MMC June 2019 - 0 symptoms

[hobbschelsea18]

Hi 😊

I’m just looking to off load more than anything, my mind seems to be doing over time constantly. One minute I’m excited and I feel optimistic about a healthy full term pregnancy and the next I am super anxious, I convince myself that something must be wrong as I don’t have any symptoms.

I google everything and whilst I appreciate everyone is different it freaks me out that I feel completely normal, I don’t even have sore boobs.

I’ve become almost obsessed with Clear Blue digital tests, checking they are still at 3+ weeks.

Last year I went for a reassurance scan at 7 weeks and there was no feral pole, I miscarried a week or two later and it’s taken me almost 18 months to get pregnant again.

Has anyone else experienced similar and if so what did you do to calm yourselves? Have you had no symptoms what so ever and gone on to have a healthy heartbeat at a scan?

I know worrying won’t change anything but it’s easier said than done x x

@hobbschelsea18 I can't offer much advice sadly on not worrying but just wanted to let you know your not alone, I'm 5 +5 I found out I was pregnant exactly a year after my Mc... I have no other symptoms other then complete and utter exhaustion..... I am testing constantly too to make sure lines are still dark....

I've read a lot and it says most symptoms don't start until 6-7 weeks and that it's normal for nothing before then!

I'm sorry about your Mc :( xxxx

Hi @AnxiousAnnie86 thank you for your response and kind words. I’m so sorry to hear about your MC too, it’s a horrible experience to go through and it doesn’t get any easier 😥

I’m so happy to be pregnant again but I feel I’m over analysing anything / everything because of what happened last year. I didn’t have symptoms other than sore boobs last year, they were really sore and then suddenly stopped and sadly at a 7 weeks reassurance scan I heard the news I so desperately dreaded.

My GP advised there is no reason I can’t go on to have a healthy pregnancy following a MC, and some days I have up days where I’m completely and utterly excited for the journey I’m embarking on and then a niggling thought can make me anxious. I don’t think reading every thread on here has helped, I’m googling things I knew nothing about before.

I’ve promised myself I’m not going to take any more tests now, I’m glad the didgirsm ClearBlue weeks indicator went up and has stayed at 3+ but it’s rather obsessive of me to keep testing 🤣

I know I won’t see much, but I’ve actually booked a viability scan for next Thursday which will make me 6+3 hoping to at least see a fetal pole and then I have another scan the following week providing all is well.

Gosh this is one hell of a journey to be on. I’ve read that being anxious doesn’t tend to leave you so we’re in for a treat.

Other than tiredness how’re you feeling? x x x

@hobbschelsea18 hopefully the scan will just put your mind at rest, I keep trying to tell myself that no amount of worry will change the inevitable and we only ruin today by doing it.... but it's hard... it's taken me a year to catch again after Mc so I so dread it all going wrong again.

Nothing else apart from the tiredness if it wasn't for that I would feel totally normal! Maybe we should be making the most of not feeling sick or awful cos I've seen it hits a lot of people all of a sudden!!!! Statistically we are less likely to have another MC so try take some comfort in that, and also, everyday that passes it's more and more unlikely..... with my Mc I had constant cramping and back ache that never eased until it ended :( x

Hi both,
Congrats on your pregnancies! I had a MMC in March and they’re just horrendous, aren’t they? I’m now 22 weeks pregnant again and I won’t lie, the journey has been really difficult - the anxiety is horrendous, but I found just focusing on really small milestones helped massively and it does get easier after every big milestone (though never really goes away fully). I started with focusing on 5 weeks, then calling the midwife, then my booking appt, an early scan at 10 weeks, my 12 week scan, etc. It drags at the time but I promise when you look back, you realise it’s gone quite quickly. Each pregnancy can be completely different too so as hard as it is, try not to compare to last time (I failed on doing that, mind!)

Also try to remember that the odds of you NOT having a MC are higher than the odds of you having one and definitely step away from Google and the pregnancy tests!

We have a really lovely group of ladies on here who are pregnant after MMC and you are more than welcome to join us - we have people in both first and second trimesters and everybody is so understanding as we’ve all, sadly, been there:

Hi @SkyBlue20 congratulations 🤗

I’m sorry to hear about your MMC.

Thank you so much for your kind words and reassurance. I’ll check out the other thread x x

Hey lovely, I had a misscarriage in august and am now pregnant again. Taking each week as it comes but am so paranoid. I had no symptoms at 5 weeks this time and wondered if all was ok. Then week 7 came along and Ive had the worst nausea since. Now 8+4 and have to eat constantly to stop feeling sick. So they could still arrive.
However my friend had a really healthy pregnancy/ birth and didn’t have one symptom. Best of luck for a healthy pregnancy ❤️

Hi I don't have any advice or experience but I am 5 + 1 weeks, first pregnancy, and I barely have any symptoms either. Boobs have not changed or become sore at all. I get mild cramps later in the day as if I'm about to come on my period so I'm always a bit scared when going to the bathroom that I'll see blood when wiping. No nausea whatsoever yet.

I'm trying to just take it one day at a time and stay healthy etc, and eat normally while I still can! It's hard not to worry though x
