Really anxious about MMC (9w5d), symptoms less severe for the last 2 weeks 😌

Hardly slept last night worrying although I know worrying wont change the outcome 😌

I had a scan at 7w5d which showed a heartbeat and measuring ok, but literally the day after until now at 9w5d my symptoms have been a lot less severe, yesterday I felt pretty much myself. Today im not sure as im so tired and anxious I dont feel great.

I think what's worrying me the most is lack of nausea, before my scan i used to not be able to get hungry as this would trigger bad sickness, I would sometimes wake in the night feeling sick too, in my last pregnancy I was at this point vomiting too, but that's gone

I've had period like cramps on and off for about a week or so, ive been off work so managed to rest more, I have been more tired, and had an increased appetite for a few days last week so I suppose a few symptoms still exist? No bleeding so far thankfully.

I know no one can really tell me the outcome but wondered what thoughts were, and if you have experienced similar worries a MMC?

I have an ultrasound booked this weekend so I promise I will update the thread when I know more! I hate feeling in limbo, I feel so sad today 😞

I had a MMC and my symptoms just disappeared. However, statistically it’s unlikely if (as you have) you’ve seen a heartbeat at almost 8w.

So sorry youve experienced a MMC, it must have been heartbreaking 💔

Do you mind me asking if all your symptoms went? Did you have any remaining?

I think its different for everyone though as I believe the hormones can stay in your system and cause some women to still have some symptoms 😔

My symptoms disappeared at 9 weeks and made me so anxious, I booked a private scan and all was fine. Symptoms came back around 11 weeks and lasted til 14. Now 23 weeks. Get a private scan to put your mind at ease if possible

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling so anxious. I had symptoms that went away towards the end of first trimester. I thought I had no symptoms, but on reflection I had a few but they definitely went. It lead to me having loads of private scans in first trimester to ease my anxiety (all positive). I'd advise doing that if it's possible...nothing else helps ease your mind. My symptoms only kicked off later in pregnancy. Pregnancy anxiety is really awful. Best of luck to you
