Pregnancy after loss

[BeckyNS]

I had a miscarriage in August 2022 this was my first pregnancy. We have been trying ever since with month after month of negative tests, heartbreak and mixed emotions.

We found out yesterday that we are pregnant.
Still in the very early days but my gosh I am absolutely petrified and excited at the same time.
The joys of a first pregnancy has been taken from me and I won't have that again. But trying to hold onto every little hope.

Had to share with you lovely people as not sharing with loved one till an early scan at 6weeks.

Congratulations! Try to not worry too much (easier said than done) after my miscarriage and months and months of waiting I'm now trying to put my healthy, beautiful 13 month old baby down for her nap 🙂
Is there any reason for getting an early scan at 6 weeks? It's seems a bit early for me as they not always see the heartbeat (doesn't mean its not there). It might cause a lot of stress if that's the case.
I did wait until 8 weeks to get a privet scan. The wait seemed awfuly long but everything was very clear at that stage.
Congrats again and enjoy your pregnancy!

Thank you for your message and so lovely to hear positive story's from others.
I am just so scared and need some reassurance no other reason, so was hoping to get a scan as soon as possible. But like you say maybe worth waiting till after 6 weeks.

Thanks B

@BeckyNS thats lovely news! I had a mmc in July so I understand how you feel, pregancy after mc is such an exciting but anxious time! I waited until 10 weeks to have a scan this time but that was only because I found out about the loss at a scan last time so I was putting it off almost! If you feel a 6 week scan would benefit you definitely do it, anything to make the first few weeks easier!

I know what you mean by losing that joy and initial excitement that getting the bfp then leads to a baby. Im now 30weeks in my second pregnancy (first last spring ended in mc). I spent the first trimester half convinced it would happen again. I went for a scan at 9 weeks for reassurance.

I would say if you can wait 1-2 weeks more it might help to reassure you than at 6weeks where it can be hard due to the size/accuracy estimate and if dates are out a bit.

Good luck and I hope it all works out well.

I had a miscarriage last year at 10 weeks and I’m currently 14 weeks pregnant. I’ve spent most of the pregnancy convinced I’m going to miscarry again. I put it to the back of my mind that I was even pregnant to protect myself. I’ve had my 12 week scan and low risk in the screening so I’ve eventually started to tell people, but that fear is still there. I’m hoping I relax soon so I can enjoy the rest of my pregnancy. Good luck to you x

Unfortunately at a private early scan yesterday at 6weeks we found out it's an ectopic pregnancy :( I am absolutely broken but physically my body is doing what it needs to.
I don't know how I am meant to get through this but I know over time I will.
