I had a mmc on 13th January 2011 (discovered at 10+3 - baby had stopped forming two weeks before) and one on 1st August 2011 - discovered only a couple of days after baby stopped forming at around nine weeks.
I am now almost 21 weeks pregnant and up to now have been really anxious but finally believe this is real! Here are the concerns I've had so far so you ladies can see that worries aren't always an instinct or a sign something is going wrong!
4 days before bfp, I got ridiculously drunk (shots, champagne, wine, gin, vodka & cocktails) - baby is fine
Our 6 week scan on the monday showed no hb. consultant took blood for hcg and I went back to hospital on the Wednesday for further tests... Saw my notes and they said "miscarriage?" on them which shook me up especially when the nurse asked if I was disappointed I'd lost another baby!
My hcg results came back and hadn't doubled so my consultant said it was inconclusive but that the levels were high (went from 25,000-31,000) so she wouldn't arrange another erpc yet but would rescan me in 4 days. In four days, babys hb was present! I'd ovulated a week late
I was sick, nauseated, had bad headaches and it all stopped 2 days before my next scan... I fell apart. Went to the scan and baby had hb and had developed two days more than should have!
Symptoms had just disappeared for three days and then came back with a vengeance!
Was having dull aches, like the feeling BEFORE period pains... This must be the end? Also had a scan at ten weeks... Baby was perfect! Consultant suspected a bmi ornate uterus... Which I stupidly googled and frightened myself half to death! Saw a midwife who mentioned it and frowned saying "oh well - lets wait and see. We can keep an eye on it and hope it doesn't cause any issues".
After this scan I had a sharp pain on one side several times. Told consultant before 12 week scan... She was concerned. Scan showed a perfect, wriggling, waving baby... Was just early round ligament pains! Also a long closed cervix & nothing to back up concern about uterus!
At 15 weeks had horrible discomfort like menstrual cramps. Went to gp who found hb on Doppler for us... Turns out I'm an over bump knickers kinda girl, rather than under!
Granny pants on, we were ready to conquer the world! 
I've had two scans nice then (16&20 weeks) and touch wood, all is well. Along the way though I googled each of these things and with so much love and hope for this baby (which manifested as fear and paranoia) I though I was losing him/her.
Hopefully this post will come up on somebody else's search or be read by just one person on here and give them some hope... I know there are days I need it and struggle to find it amongst the less positive stories
Good luck with our pregnancies... May they be happy, healthy & as worry free as possible.

ps: I feel my little bubbaloo moving now and that helps to relax me... You'll be there soon!x
