Previous missed miscarriage making me really paranoid

[jrowenj]

Well I'm just back from the private reassurance scan, and feeling MASSIVELY relieved. After attending the same last pregnancy, only to hear there was no heartbeat and the fetal pole only measured 6 weeks, I'm so over the moon that history didn't repeat itself. There was the lovely regular flicker of a heartbeat, and the little bean is measuring exactly right for my dates. I really didn't believe it would be good news, and while I'm sure it won't stop me worrying completely, it's reassuring to know there's now a 95% chance of everything working out well.

Hanfromman I do hope you get the same news if you go for a private scan - I'll be thinking of you.

Feisty, I do understand what you mean about Xmas being a difficult time once you've had a loss in December - we found out on 8th Dec last year that I'd had a missed miscarriage, and I had to wait until 4th Jan for an ERPC. I was dreading this Xmas and pretty much every one to come afterwards... though luckily for me this year's festive season should bring a more welcome development (EDD is 20th Dec). I'll be thinking of you and keeping my fingers crossed that you get good news XXXX

I am so very happy to hear this amazing news!!!!

livinginhope that is awesome

According to the dates I have been given at my last two scans you are only 2 days ahead of me so will be lovely to keep an eye on your progress

I have spoken to a few lovelies that are PAL who are ahead of me and a lot of them have said that having one of the at home doppler's has been a god send for peace of mind. I am really hoping that when I reach 10 weeks I will be able to get one

Livinginhope - yey!!! I'm so pleased for you

It must be so reassuring to know that there is only such a tiny chance of anything going wrong now!

Han I've just written the exact same fears in my journal. I was told I'd had a missed miscarriage on December 15 and I am pregnant again and so scared it might happen again. I am lucky to have an early scan as I had to have IVF to fall pregnant but I plan on having private scans to try and keep me sane.

Thanks to everyone for sharing on this thread, it really helps.

Hi Hope! I really hope your scan goes well, I've got my fingers crossed for you I know a couple of people who have gone through IVF and so I know how much it means when you get a BFP, so I'm rooting for you!!
