Subject : Worried sick over stories i have heard

I have booked a private scan for this Monday and i will be 9 weeks. I have heard alot of stories about women that have gone for scans especially 12 week one's to be told that they have lost their baby a few weeks back and have just not bled yet.

I am so scared and worried that this might happen at either my private one or my 12 week one or possibly my 20 week one. Over the past week i no longer feel sick and my boobs are not as sore as they was.
I had a MC 2 years ago so i am very paranoid.

How common is this? x

hi,

This happened to me in march - i had an early scan at 6+4 due to some spotting and baby was fine with heartbeat then 2 weeks later i was told my baby stopped growing at 7+2 (10 days before my scan) and i had no indication and its the worst feeling in the world but its also quite rare...because of forums like this when people come together to offer support it seems much more common than it actually is....

I think its perfectly normal for symptoms to fluctuate so try not to worry - many woman have nosickness at all and perfectly healthy babies same way some women sadly are sick every day and feel awful yet the baby had died without their body letting them know so sadly there are no guarnatees and every pregnancy is different...

I didnt have any sickness the last time and i have been sick a good few times now so im hoping its a good sign but im convinced its going to happen to me again purely because this is my expereince of being pregnant which is silly i know but it may be psychological as if my baby is ok i will be 7+3 today - i am dubious of early scans because of my previous experience but i am having one on friday and hoping to see a baby measuring the correct size with a good strong heartbeat as thats the hurdle...

Also sadly i think my whole pregnancy will be tinged with worry until i can feel baby move or use a doppler to hear the heartbeat but even then there is the worry that the baby will have something wrong with it or still birth as there are no guarnatees until you hold your baby in your arms...

This prob sounds realaly negative and im sorry as its not meant to but mc affects 1 in 4 pregnancies according to the figures and mmc (missed miscarriage) less again and while i cant remember the exact figure from what i was told i was told we were just unlucky,....

theres no reason why it will happen to me again same way there is no reason it would happen to you so try and be positive and look forward to seeing your little bubba on screen....
