Hi, I kinda just want a place to say how I am feeling. I had a mmc last august-found out at the 12 week scan that baby stopped growing at 8w3d and now I am 10w2d but I am probably closer to 9w4d as my cycle length was 33 days. Anyway I am so scared for my scan on thursday that I will have had another mmc. I can't talk to my oh about this because I don't want to worry him over my irrational fears..

Part of me doesn't want to go to the scan because I am too scared in case I get bad news again but of course I am going to go..how is everyone else doing? I feel like I am overly paranoid...
 
Believe I don't find any ultrasound to be exciting anymore until I see the bean! Just take a deep breath and know that if you haven't had cramping or bleeding then your probably okay!!
 
I'm having the same fears :cry:... I had a mmc before my dd and it was so traumatic, baby measured almost a week behind but strong heart beat and when we went back at 10 weeks baby had stopped growing a few days before and heart had stopped.. with my dd she always measured exactly right.. and now this baby measured exactly right first ultrasound at 5+6 and 3 days behind at 6+6... so it's stressful for me thinking it could all happen again.. I go for my next scan on Tuesday so just 2 days away and I'm absolutely terrified! !!!!!! We are ready for a second child and I don't want this baby to be taken away from us!!! I too don't talk about it often because I feel like sharing my fears makes people uncomfortable and they always want to change the subject and not acknowledge baby.. o well, only time will tell!!! I do trust that God is in control and ultimately what happens will happen, it's out of our hands ... but I am praying that all is well Tuesday !!!
 
winterbabies, yeah that's what I told myself last time though but with my mmc I never even had spotting :( almost wish I did so at least I would have been more prepared for the news we got.

pinkpassion, fingers crossed that everything is ok for you :) I'm sure it will be, it's the not knowing part that is terrifying, I think scans should be done weekly ha. Ugh yeah I know people just want to shrug it off which is frustrating. Part of me wishes I had gone for an early scan but I told my GP I wanted to wait it out until about 10 weeks, I didn't want to go too early because at 10 weeks at least the chance of a mc has dropped so less likely something will go wrong if all is ok at this scan.
