Congratulations on your pregnancy!! That does sound like a frustrating appointment. It must be so scary, having worried all the way through getting pregnant and still worrying now you’re actually pregnant. Try to relax and be kind to yourself, stress and worry is definitely not going to help. Hopefully your midwife appointment will come through soon and that will put your mind at rest x

Sorry you had such a strange experience. I have no idea why your GP would frighten you like that. Just try to relax and not worry. It's obviously scary for you as you've miscarried before but try not to let that play on your mind. I think your GP was just trying to say there's always risk, which is true. But you've seen the heartbeat so so far so good, just look after yourself and don't do anything too strenuous. Best of luck... Only a few more weeks to go.

Obs you doctor has a (tiny!) but more knowledge than me. BUT you risk has dramatically decreased. I was told after 9weeks your at 1% by my consultant. “So you’re pretty much nearly there” is what she said. I think that’s why they do bookings from 8weeks too. You’re not safe- I suppose you never are- but you’re almost as good as it gets 😀 Poo to your doctor 😛

Your GP i am quite sure is wrong, 8 weeks is the golden number - look at Tommy's research and other sites that show that you are 98% there at 8 weeks when a heartbeat has been detected at this point. Many missed miscarriages happen at that point and most likely not noticed till week 9-12.

This is what I was told also at the ivf hospital and these guys are experts. Easier said than done but try not to worry. I got told about flu jabs and starting taking aspirin after my 12 week scan. I think the aspirin is to do with the plancenta. Congratulations on your pregnancy and I hope all goes well.xx
