Scared for reaching 8 week

[MissDX]

I lost my little Charliebean when I was exactly 8 week, and now that date is approaching for me with this pregnancy. My fears are rising and rising thinking the exact same thing is going to happen again.

I will be 8 week on Friday, and I have my first midwifes appointment tomorrow, so having had no contact with any doctors or anything yet is just making my fears worse.

Although I know the chances of it happening again are what....1 in 5 is it? and I imagine even lower for it happening at the exact same time, I can't help but worry and worry about Friday.

I just want a scan so I can see my little baby

Edit: I should also add that my fears are worse because with my first pergnancy with Bobby, I was very sick. With Charlie I wasn't sick at all. With this pregnancy I've just felt a little sick but never physically been sick, and even that feeling is wearing off

You have no more chance or this happening agagin than if you have never had one. I read once in the miscarriage association book that almost all women experience 1 at some point, although some never no and put it down to a late heavy period. It also said that 1 in 6 of our pregnancy end in miscarriage. This isnt alwasy the case. But in some werid way it helped to no that hoipefully i had my miscarraige and this time i would be ok. Which i was. I actually bled at the exact same time in this pregnancy as i did in the one i lost. But my whole pregnancy felt different. I even had a period type bled at 7 weeks. I was scared stiff that i had miscarried. But my heart told me i hadnt. I wished i had this site back then, as it would of helped. Do you feel different this time? Do you have more symptons? I had stronger symptons this time and my body changed from day one. This has little to do with miscarriage in generally but as things where different this time i felt like everything would be ok. Good luck with your doctor and express thoses fears. Hopefully you will have a nice caring midwife who will get you in asap for that scan.xx

I felt a lot more tired this time and sickly when I think of food, which I never felt with my other pregnancy, but today I feel a lot better. I'm worried, as I don't know whether this is just me having a good day or the symptoms dying off because I'm not going to be pregnant for much longer.

I'm a worrying mess!!!

Hey hun,

Don't forget, your symptoms will adjust as your hormones flutuate and when your body gets used to certain levels you will feel okay until it peeks again. I am feeling terrified of reaching 10 weeks which is when I had my MMC. I think it is part of the milestone process and it is never going to be easy. You will find the strength in your heart somewhere hun, don't give up hope

Thank you for the lovely words, I appreciate them I just want to get past this 8 week and I think I might be able to enjoy the pregnancy a little but more

I had nausier and dizzyness and extreme hunger and tiredness and sore boobs. I think some days where worse than others. By 8 weeks they all went away. Some days i felt not pregnant. Then at 12 weeks i got morning sickness. I had a loss in my 1st pregnancy and i never lost my symptons till a week after. Between 8-12 weeks your hcg levels level out as well.As you placenta takes over.

I feel the same I lost my last one at 4w4d which would be sat for me so I'm worried until then & I kind of feel that if I make it to sat with no bleeding I'll be ok. My pregnancy feels dif this time - I have way more symptoms & a really dark test line. I'm cramping like anything & my lower back aches. I also feel sick sometimes when I put food into my mouth & I can't eat it (I know way too early for morning sickness but I guess it might be the very start). Last time I had already started spotting pink but I have only a little yellow/brown CM at the mo. I am trying not to worry & OH is cheering me up all the time - he is way more positive about this pregnancy so that helps. Just think only a couple more days. Can you keep busy to try & take your mind off it? I know easier said than done but better than just stressing out. I hope that has helped.

hey hun i no how your feeling, i misscarried at 6 weeks and was really scared to get to that point in this pregnancy, i do think its very rare it would happen to you again at 8 weeks.

and dont worry about your symptoms both my pregnancies started out exactly the same, i lost one and praying to god, fingers crossed and all the rest, im almost 19 weeks pregnant with this LO xx

Hi, I lost my last at 7+4, and I'll be at that stage on monday.
I am swinging between complete panic that it will happen again, and a bit of positivity that this one is different. My symptoms have died off alot too, but I really never felt pregnant with any of my pregnancies, successful or not.
I hope your midwifes app went well today.x

Thank you everyone for the support. The midwife appointment was just weight and height and checking blood pressure, but she didn't seem concerned that I'd have a miscarriage before and I should be booked in for a scan soon.

So 8 week today (I think my ticker is one day ahead), I've made it, and I seem ok today so hopefully this one is sticking. My mom found out today ((No idea how she knew!!! Haha)) so knowing she can support me helps as well.

Hurry up today - I think I will be a little bit better then
