Scared of Missed Miscarriage?

[baby287]

I was just wondering if anybody here has ever had a missed miscarriage.. how often is that and when does it usually happen? I'm 10W3D today and i dont have another appointment until next friday (3/2) I know im just being paranoid and annoying but i cant help it sometimes! this is my first and I just wish i could know everything thats going on in there..i should also not be allowed to use google anymore...i seem to always find something else to worry about lol ANYWAYS... just wanted to share my probably pointless concern and see if anyone else has anything to share about it. Thanks guys

I've had one, I knew something was wrong beforehand though but tried to put it out of mind (red spotting and total loss of symptoms at 8 weeks) - they are rare, about 20% of pregnancies are lost but most of them early on, and only a small percentage of that 20% will be so called missed miscarriages. My baby died at 8 weeks but I didn't find out till 12 week scan, but like I say there were signs when I look back.

I know it's impossible not to worry, but it really is rare (when googling and reading around on forums I think it seems more common than it is as people are more likely to post about it). If you were to miscarry, chances are you would have signs straight away.

The statistics are well on your side hun

thank you it really does seem so common when i read about other women's stories online. thanks for the reminder. my symptoms seem to come and go but everytime they go i start thinking lol I think this is the time where that begins to happen though. Best of luck to you and thank you so much for the lovely response

I think if any pregnant lady stopped and thought about all the possibles that could go wrong they'd be nervous wrecks, I know I would, so I try to not think about it unless I was to notice something really out of the ordinary.. There's about an 80% chance of you going on to have a perfectly healthy pregnancy so try not to dwell on the 20%.. I know if there's an 80% chance of snow I'd be salting the paths and dusting off the sledge!! Try and enjoy these 9 months!xx

Week 8/9 that is when a mmc is most common as that is When your placenta is starting to take over and also that when most chromosome issues crop up

[miniem]

[baby287]

my next appointment is next friday. Im counting down the days! im so impatient lol when is yours?

I can totally relate as I am going through the same thing and am around 10 and a half weeks too! I think I am getting anxious because I have to wait another three and a half weeks for my first appointment which feels like ages away. I'm so scared they're going to find something wrong...Certain days I am able to put it out of my mind but today its started to creep back in again

I read in the notes I got when my scan date came through that missed miscarriages happen to about 2% of people who go for their 12 week scan. I was one of those unfortunately. I had no reason to think that I'd miscarried though. I didn't really have any symptoms, apart from sore boobs, but then that's normal. Not everyone does have symptoms. The only thing was just that I didn't feel connected to the pregnancy. Sounds weird but I just didn't think it seemed real. I remember saying to my husband when we were in the waiting area "hopefully after the scan, it'll start to feel more real" but obviously it didn't because I'd miscarried.

This time round, I did feel different. But then that could be because we'd waited so long. But I had lots of symptoms and then we had an early scan at 8 weeks and all was fine.

It's natural to worry but it seems like it's not very common if it's only 2%! x

I worry lots too I don't search google anymore because it depresses me I booked a private scan for next Friday at 10weeks 2 days for peace of mind because after that I have another 2 weeks to wait for 12wks its very natural to worry as we are so protective of our little baba's happy and healthy pregnancy ladies hopefully after the first tri we can relax more x

i had one...had no idea anything was wrong...fond out at 12 week scan it was awful...but I wouldn't worry. Having said that I am preg again and Im terrified of it happening again so Im geting an early scan... but as I said i wouldnt worry too much about it - just enjoy the experience

OMG okay after reading that now I'm completely freaking out!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have had very light symptoms and I'm in the middle of 8/9 weeks,

I have an ultrasound on Friday and will be freaking out up until the point I see the heartbeat. If there is a heartbeat. OH MY GOD there had better be a heartbeat!

 

[baby287]

well i have already seen the heartbeat a couple times.. im feeling so weak and tired and nausea on and off so i guess that means its going well?

I had a mmc last year. Baby died sometime during the ninth week and we found out when I went in for a routine exam at 10+5. It was devastating, but my husband and doctor thought I had an intuition because I was sure there would be no hb. It definitely seemed like I was expecting it, and looking back my symptoms went away around the time baby passed away.

Mmc is pretty rare, and although I was definitely scared this time around (and still am to be honest. Not sure the worry ever goes away), I knew deep down I would hear a hb this time around and I was right!

I had a mmc last time baby had stopped growing at 9w2d we found out at the 12 week scan it was devastating we didn't expect it atall we'd had an early scan at 8 weeks and heard the heart beating so we thought everything would be ok. We chose not to have an early scan this time - my 12 week scan is tomorrow morning! We're a bag of nerves! Hoping everything is ok but I remember feeling nothing before my scan last pregnancy as if I was detatched as someone had mentioned in an earlier post. And my symptoms had eased up a bit but I'd read it was normal around 9 weeks for symptoms to go. I've had more symptoms this time round and a definate growing bump so hoping for a good outcome tomorrow! I think its only natural to worry try and stay positive hun
