How do you cope?

Question

Hi girls.

I miscarried september 14th, and got my BFP today.

My question is, how do you ladies cope until your 12 week scan? Im apparently 3-4 weeks pregnant and im going crazy with worry already that something is going to happen :( i mc when i was 6w3d because baby had stopped growing at 4w :(

Any advice to get through the next 8 weeks?

Answer

Having regular scans kept my kinda sane. I got an at home fetal doppler and found the heartbeat at 10 weeks. Ive never worried since xxx

Answer

I had a miscarriage the month before having this baby.i worried a lot about my pregnancy for the first 10 weeks or so. And had bleeding before 6 weeks when I went in there was just a sac so worried even more. I went back two weeks later and baby was fine. I'm 18 weeks now. You just need to realise this is a different pregnancy and things will be ok. Be positive and look after yourself :) I wouldn't advise a Doppler because sometimes you won't pick up the heartbeat and it'll cause unnecessary concern!

I begged my doctor to give me an earlier scan and I just try an relax and do whatever I can to be healthy. I researched that zinc can help women who've had miscarriages so I've been incorporating a lot of that into my diet.  Just remember you just have to relax and try your best to take care of yourself an baby.

I understand your worry because I've been in the same boat...miscarried at 6wks in Feb, & at 6wks this pregnancy (conceived in June), I started bleeding again. I am still pregnant, after having subchorionic hematoma (placenta and sac were separating from uterine wall causing internal bleeding), being put on 6 weeks of bed rest & letting that heal. It was especially difficult being on bed rest & wondering if it's even worth it if the baby doesn't make it anyways, but, as a Christian, I feel that my faith was the only way I could be at peace with the situation - just trusting that everything happens for a reason & knowing that it could give me the empathy I needed to be there for someone else going through something similar. Tough experiences are frustrating & you often wonder why you have to go through something so painful, but knowing that it makes me a stronger person with more empathy gives me a purpose & gives the pain a good purpose.

Answer

Can you not get an early scan? I had a miscarriage in March & I get a 6 week scan. I'll be going when I'm 6+6, focusing on that is keeping me going! No way could I wait until 12 weeks. It's hard but I actually feel calmer than I thought I would. I'm hoping that's a good sign! X
