I just have a bad feeling baby hasn’t made it

My last MC has just made me not enjoy pregnancy, I’m filled with constant anxiety. I just feel so overwhelmed with worry. I’m petrified to have a private early scan as I can’t bear to see my dead baby on a massive screen again and to be told there’s no heartbeat. I just feel like it’s happened again. I had cramps today and I just feel like it’s happened. 😔

How many weeks are you? I'm Sorry you've gone through that. I'm hoping this time is different for you xx

@Louise 8 weeks today, the same week I lost my other baby x

Try and keep positive, you may just be feeling extra anxious because it’s the same week. Cramping can be normal. Do you have a scan booked or are you waiting until 12 weeks?

@Laura no scan currently booked but if the cramping continues I’ll call EPU x

Honestly, I would try and get a scan. I know you are holding off because you are scared. But it mamight give you the reassurance you need xx

I would get a scan and share with your midwife that you’re anxious so you can maybe be signposted to extra emotional/mental health support. Your anxiety is warranted - I don’t ever feel “settled” until 12 weeks. Praying all is well and you can soon enjoy your pregnancy

I completely understand this feeling. The panic of early pregnancy. The despondent feelings. I didn't calm down with my 1yo until she was born. Book the scan. I promise it will help you.

Starting to feel like this too after scan yesterday and bleeding today 😔

Got a scan at 11am, I’m sick with worry.

Update baby is good! Saw a heartbeat 😊 I’m in disbelief I really thought it was going to be bad news

So happy to hear that! Hopefully this will make you worry less ❤️
