Keep busy I know it'll feel like a lifetime and going in to the scan will feel scary but that will melt away when you see you little flump bouncing around

Good luck for next Wednesday

Yep, keep busy and take it one day, one minute, one whatever at a time. Best wishes to you!

I know exactly how you feel! I had a miscarriage in Ocober last year but I just knew from the start that something wasn't right. I was spotting continuously which quickly turned to full flow....the rest is history.

This time I have had no spotting apart from a tiny implantation bleed at the time of first af. I have 24/7 nausea, dizziness, sore boobs the works! However...I am still terrified of my scan next week in case they tell me its a mmc!

What makes it worse is that a close friend had ALL the symptoms until her scan and they didn't find out bubs had stopped growing until her scan.

I think after a loss, whether your own or someone close to you, you will ALWAYS naturally fret. I am trying to take it one day at a time coz I know no matter what happens, there is nothing I can do or nothing I have done wrong and I am just trying desperately to relax and think positive!

My scan is 16 December, when is yours?

Sorry just saw that your scan is next wednesday, the 15th?

Keep us informed, I'm sure we will both be proudly uploading our bubs first photos very soon!!!

I had a miscarriage in June too and am now 14 weeks and 6 days. It is very hard not to worry, especially knowing that stress is not good for baby! I know you said you wouldn't get a doppler, and don't if that will make you worry more, but I bought one and listen to it to reassure me. I have not been able to find the heartbeat several times, but when I can't find it after a few minutes I stop and try again either a few hours later or the next day. Mainly just knowing I have the OPTION of listening is a big help, even when I don't use the doppler. It has saved my sanity as I have not had hardly any pregnancy symptoms this time and do not even feel pregnant!

Another thing I do is try to keep my mind busy. I read A LOT! If I'm busy with something or reading I find that I do not think about it, because at this point I am doing EVERYTHING possible to prevent another one, and I think positive thoughts help.

Good luck on your scan!
