We missed it yesterday, so I figured I'd start it today! I can't find any past examples right off the bat, so I'm making up the questions as I go. Feel free to add!

*** TW: Loss will be mentioned throughout this thread (without TWs on individual posts). Please read with caution and care ***

How far along are you?

What is your loss history (if you'd like to share it)?

Any questions or concerns?

How far along are you? 4w5d

What is your loss history (if you'd like to share it)? MMC in December 2021 (happened at 7 weeks, discovered at 11 weeks); CP last month in April 2022

Do you have any upcoming milestones? No (other than passing the timing of last month's CP)

How are you feeling? Physically fine (no symptoms); emotionally anxious and having a suuuuper hard time focusing on work.

Any questions or concerns? For those who are having (or have had in the past) early scans due to previous MCs, when did that scan happen?

@L1C4gal my scan hasn’t been scheduled yet. First prenatal appointment on the 31st when I will be 7 weeks. They will schedule a scan after that. Nerve wracking bc I had a MMC before that my last pregnancy. 

How far along are you? 4w 3d

What is your loss history (if you'd like to share it)? MMC in March of last year. Six weeks, discovered at 7 it was likely, confirmed at 8. 

Do you have any upcoming milestones? First prenatal appointment May 31st. Said they will schedule an ultrasound after that. 

How are you feeling? Pretty normal. Slight nausea here and there but nothing major. 

Any questions or concerns? Just want to get my scan scheduled at least. We are going on a pretty long cruise at the end of June. I schedule a private scan but the earliest I was able to get in was a few days before we leave. I’m praying my doctor orders one before that but I won’t know at least until my appointment on the 31st. The waiting game is terrible, especially after a MMC. (Or any loss.) 😩

How far along are you? I think 5w2d

What is your loss history (if you'd like to share it)? I have had a chemical, an early miscarriage, and a 32 week stillbirth (she had CDH and mosaic trisomy 15)

Do you have any upcoming milestones? I have my first u/s scheduled for the 24th.  Unfortunately for me having such a late loss means I just pretty much stay scared the entire pregnancy.

How are you feeling? I am okay.  I had a dream last night that I started bleeding and had a miscarriage, so the anxiety is definitely all there right now.  Worried about every little cramp and symptom too.

Any questions or concerns? Just the usual stuff that comes with PAL.

@L1C4gal Mine is scheduled for 7 weeks with the regular OBGYN.  We moved two years ago and I no longer have my prior RE to get any earlier scan.
