Pregnancy after MC

[mummyofrb]

Currently pregnant (10 weeks) had MMC at 12 weeks in Feb. I paid for a viability scan at 6 weeks and everything was ok but I just still feel so nervous like it's going to all happen again. I'm really trying to be positive but struggling, don't really know what I want from this post just feel really alone with it all!

@mummyofrb
Awwww hugs sorry your feeling like this, I have had 4 miscarriages and am now 21 weeks pregnant, well that feeling never leaves you, I'm still a bag of nervous can't enjoy this pregnancy at all, just to let you know your not alone, can you book another scan before your 12 week one just to try and settle you xx

Wishing you all the best OP. You can scan early for peace of mind. Xx

Best of luck OP with your pregnancy, I feel exactly the same. 11+2 after a mmc at 9+2 in May. Absolutely desperate for my 12 week scan (it’s at 12+6) to know that everything is okay.

I had a scan at 9+2 this time for a bit of extra reassurance. It was well worth it (albeit reassurance was short lived) if you can manage it xx

You're not alone @mummyofrb. 12 weeks pregnant here after 2 MCs (including a MMC) and had my NHS scan today - was so nervous. And I only had my last scan at 10.5 weeks for NIPT. I think just accepting that you are going to feel nervous almost makes it less stressful. Take it one day at a time. All the best of luck x

I am also currently somewhere in week 8, after a MMC at 6 weeks last December. I have my first scan (private) tomorrow, I'm absolutely terrified after last year, although when I look back I had some spotting before my scan last time, look longer to get strong lines on tests and clear blue weeks indicator tests went up slowly. I think deep down I knew last time something was wrong. This time I have a better feeling, clear blue tests moved up each week to the next level, have had constant sore boobs, nausea, constipation and fatigue, no spotting and 🤞🏻 everything seems and feel good. However despite all the good signs I'm still terrified about my scan tomorrow, I've left it until week 8 this time, as last time we went at what should have been week 7 but didn't see what was expected and were told to come back 2 weeks later, when they confirmed MMC, I already knew what was happening as soon as I saw the first scan anyway.
Sorry to everyone who has felt the pain of loss and wish us all our 🌈 babies this time

Also pregnant after miscarriage and very early on in this, only about 5 weeks, and am finding if my brains not busy I am hyperfocusing on every twinge I have, desperately awaiting 6 weeks so can get reassurance scan.
Sorry so many in this same situation.

Aw thankyou so much to all you ladies for sharing with me. I find most comfort in talking to people who've been through it too. My booking in appt is this week and that's stirred up a lot of feelings for me because I'm worried I'll have to speak about what happened etc and I don't know how ready I am to face it. Xxx

Hi all, I had my scan this morning and saw perfect little bean saw and heard their heart beat, I cried when we heard it. Measuring 8 weeks 3 days and they said everything looked great. There is hope ladies, wishing you all the very best for rainbow 🌈 babies xx

Congrats @Sarahmayo. I cried too at my first scan x

Amazing @Sarahmayo! I'm still waiting for booking in app but have been given my link to the badgernotes app, which for me is the confusing scottish replacement for the 'red book'.

Currently 16w pregnant after a missed miscarriage at 18 weeks. I am very lucky in that my consultant is lovely and is scanning me every two weeks until 20 weeks and every 3 weeks thereafter, but I can’t lie I’ve got 8 days until my next one and I’m already sick to my stomach that its happened again and have been for days. The relief is so short lived. I think a large part of pregnancy after loss is just accepting that we have no way of knowing if things will be ok, and that all we can do is hope. If I’m going to miscarry again, no amount of money on private scans or worrying will stop that. It’s not much of a relief but it helps to just acknowledge that how I feel is normal after what I’ve been through. That it isn’t a sign or an omen that it’s going to happen again. Fear is a natural response and all I can do is just try and manage it as best as I can.
