5 weeks pregnant keep crying

[OliviaGrace15]

Hi

So I'm just looking for people who have been in a similar position and ways of coping

Last November I had a blighted ovum, I am now 5 weeks pregnant and I can't stop crying (hormones have probably kicked in) I have convinced myself the same will happen again and I think I'm probably still grieving as being pregnant brings it all back. I want to book an early scan but then I'm scared because I feel I will be told the same thing "there's just an empty sac" or "there's no signs of a viable pregnancy"

Have you been pregnant after a loss? How did you get through the early weeks until you had a scan? I feel like I'm going crazy, I need to pull myself together becaus I have two young children.

Thanks in advance x

I think five weeks is hormone overload anyway so remember it will level off.
Tbh the only thing that got me through was pretending I wasn’t pregnant and ignoring as much as I could.

Hormones are wild at this time. It will get better. Congratulations

@Trenzalor yeah that's how I've been coping so far, pretending I'm not pregnant and I will continue with that mindset after my little wobble, it's just our way of trying to protect ourselves isn't it, ah aren't hormones a wonderful thing 😂 x

@Peach01 thank you ♥️ I don't like hormones 😂 x

Hormones play mind games and make you think there's something else going on 😂 I was crying non stop from week 5-6 and wouldn't accept it was hormones until the hormones must've changed. Now its just occasional.
You'll feel better soon, let it all out and take care of yourself

@Peach01 I was the same with my son, used to wake my poor partner up in the middle of the night just to cry for no reason 😂 thank you for taking the time to reply, it's nice having people to talk too ♥️

@OliviaGrace15 book a scan about 7-8 weeks - they will be able to see a heartbeat then if everything is okay. This will help reassure you.

You can then book another one for 10ish weeks and then you’ll only have another couple of weeks until the NHS dating scan.

I’ve experienced a miscarriage and am currently 10+2. I’m having a private scan on Saturday and my NHS scan is the 15th June. I had a private scan at 7+1 and they detected a heartbeat and everything looked good.

I’m really anxious again now and I’m just hoping and praying my little bub is healthy and okay. I’m just counting down the days between scans.

Sending lots of love to you xx

I had two losses and with my 3rd pregnancy I had scans at 8,10 and then the nhs one at 12 weeks.
Would recommend waiting until 7/8 weeks for a scan.
As others I tried to put it to the back of my mind until I had the first scan. It’s really hard and you always compare to your loss.
Congrats and wishing you well!

@TTC94 @Moonshine11 thank you for your replies, I'm glad your first scans went well, it's so hard after a loss isnt it and my closest scan place is 17 miles away and i dont drive so its just working out how to get there, it would be 2 trains, but then its timings as well during school hours, i dont really want to tell anyone im pregnant until im a lot further on so i cant really ask anyone to take me, ill have to work something out though as i will be insane before i get to my 12 week scan! ha, yeah you do compare to your loss, its so so tough xxx

Hello I lost my son at 20 weeks pregnant in January this year and just found out I'm 5 weeks pregnant again and I am so anxious. Every little twinge makes me think something is wrong so I know how you feel. I don't think I'll be able to relax until after 20 weeks this time. Hope all goes well for you xx
