Terrified of having a mmc

[ConnieC2001]

I’m measuring at 7 weeks 3 days pregnant today and I had a scan last week where I was 6 weeks 3 days and there was a heart beat.
this is my first pregnancy and I’ve never been so anxious about a miscarriage. I do have cramps in my back and stomach sometimes but there was a heart beat and everything was developing well so the pain wasn’t a concern . I have bad sickness and aversions and all the other symptoms which I’ve been told is reassuring , followed by people saying they still were really sick even after their baby died and they didn’t know till they had a scan. I’m absolutely terrified and can’t even enjoy this pregnancy , I have a private scan on Friday for more reassurance, longest 2 days of my life . What are everyone else’s experiences?

I know it can be a very unsettling and anxious time, but all you can do is to try and relax - I know I know, easier said than done. The way I have been looking at it - a miscarriage only happens when the embryo/foetus is developing in such a way that it wouldn't be able to survive - it's nature, nothing you can do (aside the obvious no alcohol, caffeine etc). And you worrying will just make you feel worse, and not help anything. Try to enjoy these first few weeks, believing everything is okay, because you don't have a reason to worry and then you'll see what's what at the 12 week scan. In the meantime, take care of yourself and eat well to keep your little bean happy.

Take care fellow mama x

Personally with my mmc my sickness and sore boobs went away when the baby passed, whereas my current pregnancy the symptoms never went and baby is doing perfect. I know it’s not the case for everyone as you’ve said but I’d really try and take the symptoms as reassurance as much as you can, especially since you’ve seen a heartbeart!
