worries about symptoms

[Missnicolinda96]

Hi guys. I am currently 8w 2d pregnant. I had one previous early loss at 5.5wks a few months ago. Over the past 10-12 days I've felt fairly sick and had a loss of appetite. However, I've woken up this morning and have more energy and don't feel particularly sick. My fear of mmc has pretty much taken over my life at this point (which is ridiculous because there's nothing I can do to prevent it) I've heard plenty of stories of people who have had this happen and been fine, but also lots where its been bad news.

I have a scan at 10 weeks but I'm considering booking one for 9 weeks too to check. I'd rather not because they are expensive though.

Hey @Missnicolinda96 I've literally just gone through similar! Symptoms were strong from 5 weeks and then around 8+5 weeks they just calmed down (boobs weren't as sore, nausea came and went etc). I booked a private scan where I thought I was 9+5 weeks and saw a very active baby and actually measuring 10+2.

That private scan has given me such a reassurance kick and enough to see me through until the 12 weeks (5th of November). If you need to book something in I would highly recommend it. You have got this and symptoms fluctuate at this time = SO COMMON. Sending a big hug x

Could you try and reschedule the 10 week scan, maybe they have space to fit you in the week before instead?

Try not to worry though. Symptoms come and go all the time. You might wake up tomorrow feeling awful! Also for what it's worth, this is my 5th pregnancy (2 miscarriages, 2 healthy babies) and I've never experienced a single pregnancy symptom. I'm sure all is well for you but do try and bring that scan forward if you think it will help

Thanks for the replies. I'm hoping I feel worse later on (never thought I'd be saying that!) I'm hoping it'll either come back or I'm just one of those people who feel sick for a couple of weeks. Don't really wanna skip the 10 week scan because 9 weeks is still so early. But it's making me panic. I only have to wait 10 days till the 10 week one so I think I'll try to hold on.
