Pregnancy after MC

Hi all, I had a miscarriage on 1st Nov at 8 weeks (baby had stopped growing before 6 weeks) I found out on Christmas day that I am pregnant again. I'm so anxious! Constantly checking for blood and for any sign something is wrong. I'm currently 4 weeks 5 days and I can't help but feel will the same thing happen again. We're going to book an early scan, does anyone know when the best time would be to ensure the heart should be beating? I think it would break me if we went to early. Does anyone have a way of coping with the anxiety? Thank you if you read this far!

Anytime after 7 weeks the heart is seen

Hi, firstly Congratulations 💙🩷.I had a missed miscarriage back in May and I am also pregnant I am 7weeks 1 day, I totally understand how you are feeling, I wake up every morning thinking there’s going to be blood, I’ve been so ill this time round though nausea, a lot of gagging and feeling like I could sleep all day! I’m just hoping everything’s okay. I don’t think the anxiety ever stops but you just learn to deal with it. I would probably wait until 6/7 weeks so you can see a heartbeat, I’ve come to the conclusion I am just going to wait until my 12 week scan as I spent so much money on my first child’s private scans I can’t afford to do it this time round it is very hard though I just want to see a little heartbeat xx

Congratulations! I would suggest booking a scan in between 5-6 weeks as the heart beat can be detected as early as this, speaking from my own experience. However can also understand the emotions around it. I have had 3 MCs in this past year and the only way I have dealt with the anxiety is by trying not to get attached to the pregnancy. I wish you all the best x

Lots of people here report they can only see a flicker and not yet hear anything at 6 weeks I’m in Canada and you usually wouldn’t get a scan till 8 weeks earliest when they are more certain to get real information

Thank you everyone. I phoned the scan clinic and they said it best to wait until after 7 weeks encase the dates were slightly off. I wish all of the best of luck in 2025 wherever your journey takes you xx
