Hello 👋🏻
I'm sure there has been lots of questions like this asked before but I can't seem to find them.

I have had the BFP, and trying not to panic, but my last pregnancies ended in miscarriage and now I seem to be at a point of not knowing what's a sign of a good pregnancy and what's a sign of a miscarriage.

I'm only about 5 weeks (since last period) so I know it's very early and I wouldn't even want to bother EPU at this stage. I'm getting pain like I had the week before my last miscarriage so don't know if it's a sign of things to come or if this also can be viable early pregnancy signs but I believe you don't usually get any pregnancy symptoms this early so obviously thinking the worst Confused

I'm getting twinge like pains in my womb, dull ache but sometimes a lightning pain every now and then, I feel like I have a tonn of trapped wind and my lower back feels constantly trapped.

It's driving me bonkers, it's all I can think about

Unfortunately pregnancy symptoms tend to be so individual. Pregnancy after mc is terrifying and all you can do is wait and hope at this early stage. Unless you get bleeding don't think the worst, I wish you the best of luck for a healthy pregnancy.

I pretty much expected this, it's just so horrible. Makes it worse that I found out I was miscarrying last time before the bleeding which makes me over think the pain and symptoms more.

We will just have to wait and see Smile

I totally understand how you feel. I've not been able to relax this time I had a mc a few years back at 8wk and a mc at 9wk in July after seeing baby with heartbeat on a scan the week before. I had a chemical pregnancy in the cycle before bfp too, so frustrating. Going well so far at 10+4wk although feeling much rougher, I'm quite thankful for it. 13 days to dating scan now.

Hopefully all will be well and you'll get a much deserved happy ending this time.

Mine have been roughly the same 8-9weeks so when I get past that I know I will relax (slightly, if only for a moment haha) Not long at all till the dating scan! Did you get a reassurance scan prior to the 12 weeks?

The next 4/5 weeks will be nail-biting for you then.

No early scans this time. I took the last mc a lot harder than all my previous mc's where I'd not seen baby beforehand. It was in a perfect ball of amniotic sac when I passed it so I got to hold it, it looked perfect but life is cruel. My 1st mc was at 12 weeks so passing the 1st trimester with a healthy looking scan is my "big sigh of relief" moment. Our current youngest are fraternal twins so I could end up with double rainbow 🌈 🌈 babies.
