Your deffo not alone I think all time I'm guna lose this baby but then I will get another symptom and it makes me smile it is heard to relax and even though I've seen my baby's heart beat on an early scan I still feel nervous of losing it we just have to try and think positive and enjoy being pregnant xx

Hi loopylucy, sorry to hear about your mmc but really happy for you on being pregnant and good luck with your scan! I am about 8w and it's my rainbow baby too! I worry too, I think it's so easy to worry especially after losing a pregnancy. It's so important to try to relax and believe this time it will be successful! How are you feeling?

Holli, thumbs up! Let's all try to stay positive! I am sure our little beans will love that!

Also pregnant with my rainbow and am terrified. The best advice ive had is that its going to be tough and to not fight that. It would be lovely to make mysef feel not worried but it's not going to happen for me! Im a worrier at the best of times!! So accepting it is going to be hard actually makes me feel better?! X

Try not to worry too much and just enjoy.
I'm 13 weeks with my rainbow baby, the last one I lost at 12 weeks due to blighted ovum (we found out at 10w 5d), it made me very anxious at the start of this pregnancy and to the point where I just didn't feel that attachment or the love that I felt the first time I found out I was expecting.
We decided to book an early scan as we found out we were expecting just a month before we got married and I really needed to be prepared for any situation. Myself and my hubby were terrified going for the scan, especially as the sonographer was very quiet for a while. Much to our relief we had a healthy heart beat and baby measured 2 days ahead, it was the best thing we had ever seen and we didn't stop smiling for days! It really did put us at ease but there was still that niggle at the back of my mind as I was only 8 weeks at the time. We went for our 12 week scan a week ago, again pretty nervous but hopeful and we got to see our healthy baby bouncing around! It was amazing and I feel sooooo much better about everything now. Hubby bought a home Doppler so we can listen to the heart beat whenever we like which is so lovely, especially if you are feeling a little worried.
Its true that a lot of first pregnancies sadly don't work out, everybody kept telling me this and saying they are just like 'practice pregnancies'. Thankfully for many of us this proves true and we have healthy pregnancies afterwards. Even at our booking appointment the midwife insisted that this pregnancy would be successful, as though she had seen it a thousand times before. More unfortunate women that experience many losses still usually end up with a healthy baby at some point
I'm sure everything will turn out just fine for you, there really is no point in stressing about it (its hard I know) so do just try to enjoy it

Hello ladies, sorry to hear about your losses but reassured to hear youre pregnant again. Ive been told over 85% of women who have had a mc will go onto to have a healthy baby.

I was told last friday at a private scan (10+3) i had a mmc (8+3) and am going for a mva this friday. Its truly devasting and it came as such a shock as hadnt had any symptoms. Im curious to hear whether you ttc soon after mmc and if so if it happened quickly as ive heard fertility is supposed to increase. We are hoping for our rainbow baby soon. Im a bit older at 42 so this, im sure, will complicate things! But if we do get our bfp soon im sure i will worry too....although would want to stay optimistic, as it will to a large extent, be out of my control!

Wishing you all a happy and healthy pregnancy x

I'm in the same situation. Found out we had got pregnant after just 2 weeks of me coming off contraception which was a shock in itself to then MC at 7 weeks. that was in July this year so we waited till I had a proper period and tired again, low and behold I caught straight away (used an ovulation app for dates) currently 6+3 with our rainbow baby. We have a private scan booked for next week which I am looking forward to. Have been very nervous since we found out but keep telling myself to stay positive!
Sorry to here that Melly41 but a lot of people have told me that you are most fertile when you have been pregnant.

So sorry to hear that!
I am 25 and in our situation, we did start ttc straight away after the mc, we tried for over 11 months with no luck. We had a break from it and started to use conception again (we were wanting to wait until we were married before trying again) and we had one careless night, that was all it took for this pregnancy! Our first pregnancy wasn't planned either so I don't think actually trying works for us lol
I have heard a lot of stories about women conceiving again straight after mc, but they do recommend waiting at least one cycle before trying again.

Hi just wanting to offer my bit of reassurance to you all. I had a stillbirth with my first son at 27 weeks followed by a miscarriage at around 6/7 weeks. I then had my rainbow who is nearly 19 followed by another whos nearly 8 (wasn't risking it again but after bit of time lol) and here I am at 41 and just discovered I'm expecting again! The problem is nothing any of us say will make it easier as after a loss we can't enjoy pregnancies like we should but I j7st wanted to share my positives with you all xx
