Terrified of another MMC

[JoanneH82]

I had a MMC in January and am now 6 weeks pregnant. I'm so scared of it happening again. It's all i can think about. I've got a scan on Thursday and I am so anxious. Not really had any symptoms either so I think that's making me worse. 😢

Hi Joanne, I can completely relate to your anxiety! Im 6+5 and have a scan on Thursday too. I had a bit of a scare with a bleed last Sunday and that teamed with a spontaneous loss a year past Jan I am really stressing out. I don't really have any suggestions, as Ive turned into a crazy lady this last week, I don't have many symptoms either. However I did stick a post up with loads of replies telling me its normal to not have symptoms and any that do appear can come and go...….so no advice apart from try to take it easy and one day at a time. You're definitely not alone anyway!!xxx

Thanks. It's so stressful for us going through all this. I am forever googling things, I can't help it. Good luck for us both on Thursday. 🤞

Im the same but in some ways I think its normal....I mean we wouldn't be normal if we weren't anxious! I know some clinics offer counselling which might be helpful but to a certain extent this is just tough for all of us. We have been trying so long and when we have loss behind us too it just magnifies those feelings ten fold, its just horrible. Yes, hopefully there is good news to come on Thursday!!xxx

I’m 6+5 too. My scan is on Wednesday. Terrified isn’t the word 😫

Hi love. I also have had a mmc (last year) and I am now 6 weeks pregnant. My first scan is not until next week and it cannot come soon enough. Anxiety is quite high! However, I take some comfort in the stats showing that if you've had 1 miscarriage, you're actually quite unlikely to have another (around 1% chance of having two miscarriages). We were unlucky last time, but that doesn't mean we'll be unlucky this time. Sending you love and we just have to get through this time, however we can. And I have to do it without my favourite things like wine, brie and sushi! xxxx

Thanks for this. I'm so glad I'm not on my own. I read that stats as well. Hopefully everything will be OK for us all. Fingers crossed ladies.x

Just keep looking at pictures of babies and think about where you want to be. It’s but natural for you to compare things to your previous pregnancy. Forget about your symptoms for a while. Go for a walk if you are allowed to. It refreshes you and takes your mind off the stuff that’s bothering you.

All the best!
