Question

My first pregnancy ended in a missed miscarriage, I’m currently 5w6d with my rainbow and terrified. 
Before finding out I was pregnant I booked a trip to Europe with my sister. I’ll be 6w3d when I leave and almost 8 weeks when I come back. I don’t have my first ultrasound scheduled until I’m 8w1d. 
Should I go? I’m nervous I’ll go and then start bleeding or having a miscarriage while I’m away. Should I try to get into my Dr for an early scan? Im nervous about going when I don’t even know that this pregnancy is viable/ not ectopic etc. but also scared that if I do an early ultrasound when I’m 6 weeks and don’t see a heartbeat I’ll be freaking out the entire time anyways. 
Agh pregnancy after miscarriage is so stressful 😭
My dr doesn’t see a reason for me to not go and neither does my husband. 
Anyone else scared to do anything because of a precious loss? 
Just needed to vent.

Answer

I understand, and I had a similar situation in early November. I suffered a miscarriage in July of this year and found I was pregnant 2 weeks before our trip. I was nervous to do a lot of things because I didn’t want to cause any bleeding. However, I remembered the peace and strength God gave me during my miscarriage. I realized I can’t stop life from happening, so I shouldn’t stop living it. I also trust God so much I know His plan is always best whether I understand it or not. 
So go on the trip. Enjoy Europe. Take care of yourself and only do as much as your body allows which should be a lot. Enjoy your pregnancy don’t let the past experience rob you of the joy and excitement of your present moment.

Answer

I had a missed miscarriage as well. I’m pregnant now 7+1. I’m constantly worried. If I were you, I would go. It will be a great distraction until the heartbeat is sure to be strong and visible. Yes, you MIGHT miscarry on the trip, but supposedly the chances are low that it’ll be another missed miscarriage. I would wait on the later ultrasound for the heartbeat because, if you are like me, not much else will reassure you. Good luck mama! Whatever decision you make is the right one for you, and don’t beat yourself up about it. <3

Im too scared to even have sex ahah !! Pregnancy after loss sucks. Its not easy to get over the fears of it happening again BUT I keep telling myself that this is a different pregnancy and its a different baby with a different outcome. I say go on the trip. Relax and have a break from everything, enjoy time with your sister and enjoy being pregnant ❤ Just take every day as it comes and think positive (so much easier said then done i know). If an ultrasound before you go would give you the peace of mind then go for it but theres definitely no harm waiting til you get back!! Do what feels right for you ❤ congratulations on the pregnancy xx

Answer

I had a miscarriage before I got pregnant with my son. It was scary at first but I kept telling myself that if I miscarry theres nothing the doctors can do about it anyways. What will be, will be. Go on the trip, have a good time and try not to worry about a miscarriage. I know it's easier said than done. I'll be praying for you, but please don't cancel your trip, you need to get out there and have fun without worrying about the what ifs.

Answer

I completely understand. I was the same position right before I got pregnant with our first baby. Had a miscarriage then got pregnant again and had travel booked. I personally cancelled all of my travel plans because while I don’t believe travel would harm anything, I just didn’t want to attribute it to that if something did happen. I asked if my doctor could write a note not recommending I fly in first trimester so I was able to get a full refund. Hope this helps! Best of luck with your pregnancy ❤️
