Pregnant after a MMC

Hi all,

I am currently 8 weeks (well, tomorrow) and I had a missed miscarriage in August of last year.  We found out at our first ultrasound at 10 weeks that the baby had passed at 6w2d.  I haven't had my first ultrasound w/ this pregnancy yet, and I am so scared!  It isn't for another 12 days and I am just so freaked out.  The nurse today at my checkup (just did bloodwork/urine) said that MMCs are "pretty common" and seemed kinda non-chalant about it.  But inside, I am a mess.  I know my husband is too, but I just can't stop thinking that every little thing is a sign that something is wrong. I had no symptoms that ANYTHING was wrong last time.  I guess my question is, how likely is it that I will have another MMC?  I know it is most common in the 1st trimester, but I just can't stop worrying. I'm trying to relax, stay busy, but it's so hard.  Please, if anyone has a success story, please share it. I could use a boost!

    First, calm down and take a deep breath. Second, there is no reason to think that this pregnancy will be a chemical pregnancy. I had  missed miscarrage a year before I had DS, and though I had cervical issues, it had no effect on pregnancy. If you are concerned, talk to your OB and possibly ask for progesterone supplements.Good Luck!

    There is absolutely no way to predict how likely it will be that you will have another MMC. Hopefully everything will look fine when you go in for you u/s. GL!
