Trigger warning: r/MMC r/pregnancy loss
Hi there, I'm looking for some positive stories regarding scans that doctors thought could have been MMC (missed miscarriages) but have turned out to be healthy babies.
My situation: I went for a early pregnancy scan at what I thought was 9 weeks according to LMP but when there they said baby was 5.5 weeks and cause of this age couldn't detect a heartbeat (this is normal under 6/7 weeks). They said due to the difference they were referring me for another scan in 1 week and it could be a MMC. I have worked out dates of conception and it could be 5.5 weeks so it's not impossible. However since then I have realised some brownish (tiny amounts) of discharge when I wipe and this morning it was a tiny bit of red discharge. I don't have anything above mild cramps which I have had from the start. I haven't had any real pregnancy symptoms from finding out which makes it very difficult to see if I have lost any or not. The hard thing is that everything which could be a MMC symptom could also be a pregnancy symptom especially around week 6 which I would be now.
I have done so much research and I know everything negative there is to know - I have read many stories of MMC and I am expecting the worst. I just wanted to know if anyone did have any success stories as midwife's are telling me to stay positive due to my dates being possible. However that is hard to do with no real examples of positive stories.
