Scared of Missed Miscarriage?

[ParisJeTadore]

I hate to say it but hearing, just from this post, that so many have had mmc's is really scary The 2% must not be accurate if so many women are dealing with this. I'm really sorry for all your losses.

My blighted ovum was a MMC, but when I look back on it I knew there was something wrong. I had no to very little symptoms, and even they went away at 6 weeks. Body didn't start to catch on till almost 10 weeks, so was given pills. These are rare from what I was told by dr

I had a blighted ovum mmc sometimes between september 1st, 2011, and november 4th when i had my first appt. i was roughly 9 weeks and i had a weird feeling as soon as i walked into the office something was wrong. before that i wasnt too sure of anything, but i had very few symptoms so i guess i should have known better!
this time around, still very few symptoms, appt is march 2nd and im terrified ill have another blighted ovum.

it is a fear we all share, especially the ones who've had something go wrong already, theres no way to calm yourself and googling doesnt help, best thing you can do is find things to stay busy with, i clean, bake something new everyday, sew shit together haha...i am addicted to pinterest.com

also buying the detect 5 hcg testers help me see my level is still rising. so until that appt i can feel secure in knowing its going up, that helps a little.

I am so glad I found this. I am anywhere from 5-8 weeks. The reason I say that is because last months period was definitely not a regular one. I have my first appointment Friday and I am so excited. However, I also should have never been aloud on google I have scared myself so much, that I don't want to get excited about my little peanut, because I have scared myself Seems like so many woman miscarry. I do like hearing that the statistics are on our side I just have to keep thinking 80-20 Fingers crossed

I've read that miscarriage risks are higher at the point of when you would have got your period for example; week 4, week 8, week 12, week 16. That's when you would have bled so the chances of it happening are very low. once I past 8 weeks I was very relieved. Now I'm hoping that I make it to 13 weeks but I'm not stressing about it. What will be will be and if you miscarry, it means that it wasn't and that the baby probably wasn't healthy. I see it as the universes way of being merciful.

I'm so scared now! I guess.I should stop worrying.. my chances are.probably pretty good of everything being just fine.. :/

I had one in November. I had some weird strings of blood in my mucus on and off for 2 weeks and around my 9th week I woke up and all my symptoms were gone. It turned out my Bean stopped growing at around 7 weeks. Now I'm 9 weeks pregnant again and I'm terrified the same thing will happen again.

I thought the highest risk of MMC was 6-8 weeks. Shucks i was hoping that if we hear the HB at our scan at 7+4 then i will be almost safe. Sigh!

It is so difficult to keep it from people when you feel unwell, i need to tell work but was going to do so after scan, maybe i'll hold out a bit longer.

I'm terrified of this too! Been having brown/pink/red spotting on an off for the past week (week AF would have been due) and mild cramping but did see the HB on a scan at 8 wks but literally that same day I feel I lost most of my pregnancy symptoms!

I've got a follow-up scan next Wednesday to check everything is OK but I'm worried that I've had a MMC and baby has died just after I had the last scan - praying so hard that all will be OK!

I had a MMC before I had DD, so back in 1999, my died at 9 weeks and I had been asking for an early scan but they ignored my pleas, I finally got scanned at 14+6 to find i had been carrying for 6 weeks for no reason, I had no loss of symptons despite not really having anything other than sore boobs and my body had not recognised the loss and therefore was not going to reject it. I have had my DS since then but did not know about the placenta taking over at 8-9 weeks therefore I am now shitting myself too xxx

I am terrified of having a MMC. I had a chemical in December and fell with this pregnancy right after. I was so relieved once i passed hte 4 week stage (as thats when i lost my last pregnancy) but now i am 11 weeks i am starting to worry again.
I am trying to keep positive as last time i knew something wasnt right, yet this time I have had every symptom going (sickness, sore BBs, constipation, hunger, tirednss) not had any cramping or a hint of blood...so it looks good but I am still worried
I have no idea when my scan will be, hopefully in the next 2 weeks....still waiting on my hospital to confirm, which they said would be by monday.

Just want to see my little one on the screen so I know all is ok.

Lots of love to those who have had losses, its heartbreaking but also great to see you also went on to have a normal pregnancy afterwards.

i had a chemical last may at 5 weeks and i am now 10wk and 4 days. dont feel pregnant at all but with what happened last time just so scared x

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

Susan the same happened to me but i had really bad sickness but a week before my scan i started to feel worried i even questioned myself if i really am pregnant while we were waiting in the waiting room for a scan i felt scared and said to my hubby hope everythings ok becauze it doesnt feel real anymore.
Well that was proven i was nearly 14 weeks baby had stopped breathing a week earlier i have never felt so much pain. Just hope this pregnancy goes well and the only time i am going to relax is probably after 16 weeks xxx
