Pregnancy after mmc

[Kay2023]

Hey, I've recently found out I'm pregnant again after a mmc in June which I only found out at my 12wk scan that baby had passed away at 8wks. I had a scan at 7wks and baby was fine.

I'm over the moon to be pregnant again but feeling very worried and anxious. I was just wondering if there is anyone else in a similar situation to me at the moment? Would be good to talk to people who are going g through the same thing, and hopefully we can help each other.

I also have PCOS which worries me as apparently the risk of miscarriage is higher.
Thanks

@Kay2023 hi! Congratulations on your pregnancy and also very sorry for your previous loss. Very similar here - I had a MMC in April at 11+4 (baby had stopped developing at 7+5). Since then I've had a CP and another MC at 7 weeks and then, in a month we weren't even TTC as I needed headspace, I've got pregnant again. 7 wks tomorrow and got a scan on Thursday due to my previous losses. Extremely nervous and so hoping this will be my rainbow baby.

There are certainly others on here experiencing pregnancy after loss - even quite a few on the 'due August 2024' thread. It makes for a very nervy first trimester I think. We just have to take it one day at a time ❤️ Wishing you lots of luck for a healthy pregnancy! X

Hi

Hi @SnookyPook, thank you so much for replying. I'm really sorry to hear about your losses too, must of been very hard for you. It's an awful thing to go through.
Congratulations on this pregnancy, that's great news and I hope everything goes smoothly for you and you get your rainbow baby.

Thank you, I will take a look at that thread. The first trimester is horrible as you don't know what's going on inside. Is there anything you do to try take your mind off things?
I hope your scan goes well on Thursday. 🫶 x

@SnookyPook i think I’ve been on a few threads with you! Congratulations on your BFP and keeping my fingers crossed this is your time love!

@Kay2023 i also had a MMC in June and this is the second time ever falling pregnant so im a little nervous, I’ve been testing daily till yesterday where I got my 2-3 weeks at 15DPO and no AF showed up. I think I’ll try stop testing for line progression but it’s easier said than done!

got my midwife appt Friday (wondering if it’s early due to my mmc)?

how are you both feeling?

Hi @Longtobe2023. Sorry to hear of your MMC, congratulations on your BFP.
Your story is very similar to mine, this is my second pregnancy too.
It's so hard to stop doing tests.
Hope your midwife apt goes well, I've just sent all the info off to mine so waiting to hear when the apt will be.

I'm feeling ok thanks, my boobs feel sore and have been getting a lot of headaches and feel very tired, have had a little bit of nausea so trying to eat regularly. How about you? X

Hey! Just a story for some hope for you.

I had a MMC at 14 weeks in January, baby had died at 10+6 after a positive scan at 10+5. I'm now 24+1 with a baby girl and the first trimester was the most anxiety inducing, scary days of my life. I still check the tissue every single time I wipe but I feel her moving everyday now and it's the most reassuring feeling in the world. It gets easier ❤️

Hi i’m 9 weeks with 3rd pregnancy , i have a 4 yrs old DD , 2nd pregnancy was a MMC saw heartbeat at 6wks , scan at 8wks it had stopped at 7wks . This pregnancy has been so different ive had nausea which i didnt have in either previous pregnancies , saw a heartbeat this week so hoping everything will be ok but the waiting and worrying is so hard so glad to know there are others out there

Hey @Ttcmumma, thank you for replying. So sorry to hear of your loss, it's heartbreaking.
Congratulations on your pregnancy with your baby girl.
What did you do to try and cope with the first 12 weeks?
I'm just finding it so hard to be positive as I'm constantly worrying something will happen, I'm trying to keep thinking this is a new pregnancy.
Lovely you get to feel her moving now ❤️

Hi @JJM13
Sorry to hear about your mmc. I completely agree, the waiting is the hardest part. Only a few more weeks to go until your scan 🫶
It feels like such a lonely place, but so any of us have experienced the same and it's nice to talk to people who are going through the same thing. X

Got my first scan on Thursday when I should be 7+2 and the Scanxiety is real. I've barely got any symptoms so although I've not had any spotting or cramping or anything I'm really struggling to feel hopeful. And I know there are lots of successful pregnancies with minimal symptoms but it's just so hard to dare to hope.

Sorry to hear of everyone else's losses. Here's hoping we all get our Rainbow Babies in 2024 🙏🏼🌈💕

@Kay2023 hey! Sorry to hear about your MMC, I had one in July too, found out at my 12 week scan that baby was measuring at 10w. im now 5w+1, so nervous as this is my second ever pregnancy too, hope everything goes well for you! 🤞🌈💖
