Pregnant after a MC - cautiously excited - anyone else been through this?

[Dubibump]

Well after a MC at the beginning of year, we are 10 weeks and 3 days today. Whoohoo!!


Been feeling so horrid for most of it, which is great, but today my morning, sorry all day, sickness has eased off... and of course I'm freaking out!
Anyone pregnant after a MC? How are you guys coping with it?

Bring on the second trimester!!!!

Me! I know exactly how you feel! I had miscarriage on march 12th then got preg with this LO the same month, had my scan yesterday and they dated me at 13 weeks I was a nervous wreck not going to lie so I booked a 8 week private scan which put my mind at rest for the time being lol i think it's only natural to be a little on edge after a loss but you only have another week and half til the 12 week mark so just think of it that way everything will be fine, plus the mc rate drops a lot at the 10 week mark, think positive thoughts!

I'm going through it now too. I'm terrified. I'm trying not to think about it and just let my body do it's thing. I'm scared to get excited. We haven't even told family yet..... Hope I get over this soon so I can enjoy this pregnancy!

I'm pregnant after a m/c in March this year. Our baby stopped growing at 6 weeks, and we lost the pregnancy at around 8 weeks. It was terrible, but we are SO happy that we're prego again!! It is VERY scary too! Every little cramp freaks me out! I'm 5 weeks today...and woke up to GLORIOUS morning sickness around 4am and it's still going on now at 9:30am. I'm sure I'll have this alllllllllllll day, which is fine with me! It's nice to feel those pregnancy symptoms, even if they kinda suck. At 5 weeks during my last pregnancy was when I started to have some bleeding, sooo I've been kinda stressing about this week to come. Week 5-8 will be stressful times for hubby and I, since this is when all of the chaos happened last time. But, I feel like once we get to 9 weeks (which we've NEVER been to before), I feel we'll be home free and DEF have a sticky baby!! Prayers to all of you ladies!!!

Just taking each day one at a time.

Everytime I use the washroom (so what every 20 mins) I hold my breath hoping I don't see blood.

So far so good.

Every symptom I try to whine about my hubby is there saying good!!! haha.

I am getting used to the fact that symptoms will come and go.

I have had 4 m/c's and luckily have been closely monitored and made it to 12 weeks!! Try not to worry about loss of symptoms, I totally panicked when my morning sickness went from all day to half the day at 7 weeks, and totally faded at 9 weeks. I panicked over every little cramp and pain, yet today I seem my beautiful little baby developing perfectly!

Good luck xx

I'm going through it too, had a mmc in February and just today been for my third scan due to bleeding, I was so convinced it was over today but got there and baby was ok. I can't believe how easy my first pregnancy was and now after the mc I'm such a mess panicking over everything.

H&H 9 months to you all, I hope out rainbows all stick x x c

I am also cautiously pregnant (6+4 today) after a blighted ovum just before Christmas

I knew I was pregnant this time because I had sore boobs but I never dared test until a week after my missed AF, because in a way I just didn't want to know! I know it sounds terrible but all I can think of is that I'm going to go through the same as last time!

I have zero symptoms now which does worry me so I do a test every couple of days just to remind myself that I'm still pregnant!! Although I have had an extremely teary day today which I suppose will be all those little hormones floating about and doing their thing!!

I just wish I could relax and enjoy it!!

Good luck to all you ladies! Xx

Me! I had a miscarriage in April, got pregnant immediately after! I was really nervous before my ultrasound, but I'm a little more at ease now.

 

[moonbeam38]

Me too....had 4 early losses between 2011/12 & decided to call it a day ttc. Concentrated on rebuilding myself & lo & behold got a surprise bfp in may!!!!
I'm still a nervous wreck but I'm 9wks now & have had 2 scans which both shown our little nugget with a good heartbeat. I guess we just have to hope & pray that this could be our rainbow xx

 

[Dubibump]

Thank you all for your posts...its sooo helpful to hear your thoughts and feelings, which are so much like my own.

Much love and all the best girls! xxx

Terrified! Had a mc at 11 wks in Jan, pregnant in march (with clomid) then mc in April and naturally pregnant in April before having a cycle. We are telling my brother tomorrow and parents next month. We heard a good heartbeat but the 8wk scan was only mildly reassuring. We had 3 scans with the first pregnancy and all were great, the last one just 2 days before the mc. Started on prednisone this pregnancy so I'm kind of hopeful but scared to get too invested which makes me feel awful.

Hi ladies I'm a nervous wreck too! Just had 2 back to back chemicals in march and April now pregnant again 3rd time lucky and taking baby aspirin! Got my positive 2 weeks ago and for peace of mind did a digital last night and it said 3+ I've never got further than 1-2 so really nervous. Does anyone know the earliest you can see the heartbeat? My nipples are sore on and off and mini cramps and so tired but that's it at the moment xx

 

[Pers]

Usually the earliest for a heartbeat is about 6 weeks. Might get lucky and see something a couple of days sooner but typically 6w is what you need, sometimes it needs to be a few days beyond even. Personally I wouldn't pay for a scan till 7 or 8 weeks when I know they should see something. My doctor did a scan just after 5 w and we couldn't see a HB, had a second at almost 7 and had a great HB!

Everytime I use the washroom (so what every 20 mins) I hold my breath hoping I don't see blood.

It sucks that I do this too. I actually examine the TP afterwards to makes sure there isn't a teeny trace of anything pink.

 

[Nina83]

I'm pregnant as well after a MMC in April. We found out the baby stopped developing at 7 weeks.
I am TERRIFIED. I had a scare this week, small trace of pink, probably due to dehydration. Please drink a lot Lovelies!!!
Currently at 5+2, first scan is 7+2. I'm so scared, I don't know if I'll be able to look at the screen. I keep telling myself that maybe we should go earlier (last time we saw the HB at 6+4), or maybe I should just go at 9 weeks...
I'm a nervous wreck. And I thought I was scared the first time around! This is nothing like before

I'm also tired of complaining I'm afraid on pregnancy forums, and first timers tell me just to "relax and it will be OK" They don't know. They don't understand. I love that I can feel OK telling you my fears and not being judged or telling me to do something that will distract me.

I'll kind of peak in here too ladies. Had a m/c at around 10.5 week in November. Finally got pg again after TTC six cycles while working on some hormonal issues. I am completely wrecked . Numb, terrified, angry. Inspect every square inch of the TP every...single...time I go to the bathroom. Have had pink EWCF spotting twice that stopped almost as soon as it started and an orange-red gush yesterday that stopped right away. Going out of my mind...
