Hiya Chick

Im the worlds worst worrier and although im 22 + 4 im still convinced everyday something is going to go wrong.

I had a mmc in october at 8 weeks (was picked up at 12 week scan) and found out i was pregnant again in April and ive done nothing but worry, i had some light bledding at 6 weeks which was a small haemmorage but that just resolved it self.

I paid for an extra scan at 9 weeks as i was convinced something was wrong but everything was fine.

Theres nothing anyone can say to you to make you feel any better but it does get a little easier as you start to show and get different symptoms, i didnt get morning sickness till 14 weeks ! ive only just started getting movement to im not sure if there kicks and there not very regular but at least i know something is happening in there.My midwife was concerned that i wasnt feeling much and she said to phone the hospital if i was worried , well im not and i know its still earlier and to be quite honest i dont think she is any good !!

Im also suffering really badly with heart burn ! which is a night mare and i finally gave in to getting some gaviscon as i really didnt want to take anything just in case it affected the baby.

Oh i really want to get a doppler but hubby wont let me as he said if one day i couldnt hear anything i would freak out, he says there more harm then good and i think he does have a point.

It does get better so just hang on in there and if your ever feeling really down feel free to shout out for me im usually hanging around in DID (although i dont usually post anything as i dont want to jinx myself LOL)

Your not alone xxxxxx

Awww hun, you are not alone.   know exactly how you feeling.   I had a mmc in feb this year and i am now 18weeks.  I just keep thinking something is going to go wrong with this one too.   I also had my scan at 13weeks, and much to my relief baby was ok, but since then ive done nothing but worry the baby is ok.   I think what frightens me the most is that with mmc you dont initially get bleeding or pain, it could be concealed for weeks before it shows up.  I certainly wish i could be more positive about things.   i have had to start wearing maternity clothes and i am frightened that ive now jinxed the pregnancy by wearing them.   Dare not buy anything for baby or look at anything, in case i jinx it.    I wish i could stop being so negative and start to enjoy it.   

When i had my mmc i didnt feel right from day one and knew something was wrong, then it was confirmed on the scan.   this time felt so much different body wise.  Know what you mean about when the sickness disappears it can be worrying, but its just probably your hormones settling and your body getting used to pregnancy.  

Like the previous posters have said you could buy a doppler to listen in on baby if it will put your mind at rest between scans, I personally havent bought one because i think i will get too obsessed with it.  and also im hoping im going too be able to feel some movement soon, as i already have a lo and i think you feel sooner with 2nd babies.  and have my 20week scan booked in 2 weeks.  

I hope you start to feel more positive soon love.  And wish you well with your pregnancy.  You are not alone with your feelings, we all understand in this forum.

awww hun i know how u feel bless i lost 2 babies in the last yr im now preg again and im 20+4 with pink bump i brought a doppler from ebay and listen to my bubs every day as it gave me lots of reasurance xx

i think its perfectly normal to feel what u are feeling. scans r reasuring but u can only have so many. people r usually in the 'safe zone' after 12 weeks so it may make u feel more positive to let people know expecially if ur job may cause a risk to ur pregnancy. u can now get fetal dopplers for use at home so u can hear ur babys heatbeat which is reasuring for the days in betweeen ur scan.  good luck

Hi

I'm almost 13 weeks pregnant now. this is my 2nd pregnancy, my first ended in a mmc in may....

i had my scan last week and everything was fine, although i cant stop panicking that things have gone wrong since.

I'm not feeling as sick, i'm not really showing - therefore i think im not pregnanct any more. i've not had any pains or bleeding but cant stop thinking the worst.

both the families know now and i want to tell my workmates however im scared incase i lose this one too.

am i a freak or is this normal????
