7 weeks pregnant after MC

in 7 Weeks Pregnant

Hello!

I am 7 weeks pregnant this week and so excited. I am also scared too. Right before this pregnancy I had a miscarriage. I was 4 weeks 2 days- I know I wasn't very far along but it didn't make my excitement or loss any less. My heart was broken but I knew we would try again- I just never expect to get pregnant so quickly! I didn't even have a cycle in between. Things feel a lot different with this pregnancy- more normal although not always fun lol. I have morning sickness (all day long!), I have to go pee all the time, extreme exhaustion, my breasts hurt and have been growing at an almost alarming rate, basically all of the normal stuff.

Because of my MC my doctor ordered blood work early. Two weeks ago (when I was 5 weeks preg.) my HCG levels were reading at 12,332 with the first blood test, they were going to have me do a second test but after getting those results back they sent me for an US instead that following week. I was so scared that they wouldn't see anything or that they would see something bad but instead everything looked good and we got to hear our little sweat pea's heartbeat. She (or he) had a heart beat of 112 bpm. They told me I was exactly 6 weeks preggers that day.  

I am doing my best to stay positive and excited but there is always the thought in my mind that I might loose this little one too. Any time I have any kind of cramps (mostly stomach/digestion and bloating) I worry that I will find blood. It is driving me crazy.  

I was wondering if anyone else has gone through a loss and had similar feelings? Did anything help with your fears?

    I am 7 weeks along and had a MC last year. After taking a year to get pregnant we finally have been blessed! I know the feelings of worry. Two weeks ago I was wearing slick shoes and fell down the stairs on my bum. Periodically, I get a little cramp and the worry monger starts in. I am set for an ultrasound in 2 weeks and have told myself repeatedly that after that is the time for celebrating, just trying to stay relaxed in the meantime. Hang in there ladies!

    hi!  7 weeks preggo and had a m/c with my first pregnancy in feb.  and....this time it's twins!!!  so, i'm twice as nervous, haha!  such mixed emotions, we want to be so excited and enjoy this time, but i do not want to get my hopes up so high again.  it was so devastating last time as you all know.  i had a missed m/c, so no symptoms of miscarrying, but no heartbeat at 11 week sono (lost the baby around 8 weeks).  i think having a missed m/c makes me even more nervous because i can't be reassured by the fact that i'm not having any spotting, cramping, bleeding, etc.  i'm definitely struggling, i usually wake up every couple of hours to go to the bathroom at night, then around 4am i start worrying and am wide awake for a couple of hours!  

    i'm a physical therapist in the school district and i've never wanted school to start again so badly because that means i'll have made it past 12 weeks!! 

     

    praying for the best for you all!!!

    Wow, I guess I am now grateful (not sure that is quite the right wording) for having a "normal" miscarriage. I had the cramps, bleeding, etc. I knew as soon as it started that I had lost my little one. It was heartbreaking and devastating but I didn't have the devastation of not hearing a heart beat after thinking everything was fine. I am so sorry that happened to you (I know sorry isn't nearly good enough). 

    Twins!!! That is so exciting! Congrats!!!! 

    I can totally understand the nerves and laying awake at night (I do that too!). I can't wait to get to that 12 week mark either. I think my husband isn't allowing himself to get excited until we get past the first trimester, which is making it even harder for me to be excited and stay positive. I, too, don't want to get my hopes up too high, the loss of the first little one was hard enough, I don't think I would be able to handle it as well a second time around. Still, I guess it is all about staying positive and praying for the best. Everything happens as it is supposed to...even if it hard to know why. 

    I also completely understand the want for school to start up again...I didn't ever think I wanted summer to fly by but this year I want it to go at warp speed!  

    Lots of prayers and happy, healthy baby thoughts going your way!

    Hi I had a miscarriage on the 25th August 2008 and today I am almost 7 weeks pregnant.... This would be my first child! I understand what you are going thru! I keep getting myself looking what the odds of a miscarriage is every week! If there is any type of pain or any discharge I immediately go to the bathroom to check if anything is okay!!! I guess its normal to be over senitive and more in touch with your senses. Its because you have already been thru a miscarriage and you now the emotional pain going with that!!! I hope this put you at ease a little bit! You are not alone! Stongz with the little one! And lots of baby dust for you.

    I had a MC on the last week for march it was on a friday I did't know I was pregnant. Now I found out on Fathers Day i'm pregnant again with my second baby.

Which gets me nervous and every cramp and pain I get i'm worried its another MC and I don't think i'm going to be calm until i go get seen which idk when that will be :/ .

    I had a missed miscarriage in February and will be 7 weeks tomorrow. I am glad to see that the emotions and fears I have daily are not uncommon. I am glad that there is support out there. It is so hard as I want to be excited and tell our immediate family but after havibg a miscarriage with our last little one and the ordeal we went thru our lips are sealed this time until we get to 12 weeks. Have an ultrasound tomorrow and hoping to see the heartbeat we never got to see last time.
    Good luck to everyone else out there who has suffered a miscarriage and are again pregnant. Here is to healthy little ones to bring us all happiness

    I completely understand how you're feeling. I had a miscarriage Oct 2012 and another April 2013. Now I'm 6weeks 6days had US today! I can't let my guard down and be excited. However after today I will truly try to relax. I will try not to be so paranoid with any funny feeling in my abdomen and every single time I go yo the bathroom. Good luck hope all is going well..

    Hello Ladies
    It was reassuring to read all of these posts and I'm realising I'm not alone. Running to the toilet to check for blood at the slightest twinge, lying awake at night worrying, not wanting to stress or worry husband any more than he already is.
    We MC last year in December at 10 weeks and it was devastating, during that pregnancy I suffered no usual symptoms, morning sickness, nausea, bloating etc.
    I'm miserably happy if there is such a thing to be suffering from it now :
    I have my first scan in 10 days so will be 8 1/2 weeks by then.
    Not allowing myself to be happy or excited until I see a heartbeat or reach 12 weeks.
    Good luck to all of us, may week 12 bring us all those tears of joy and relief.

    Hello
    I to have suffered 2 mis m/c one in jan 2012 and my second in Nov 2012. I am now 7 weeks along with my third child and have had 2 us second in which we heard the heart beat and were told all looks good. It is hard to feel any excitement about this due to both mis m/c the first at 7w no heart beat second mis m/c we had a heart beat at 6w then nothing at 10w. It is good to know that I'm not alone in my feelings when at times I feel that way. My husband won't even acknowledge this pregnancy till he knows all is ok. So I'm stuck feeling how I do alone. Hope all ends up good for everyone and will say some extra prays

    WOW! Your story is EXACTLY like mine! I am about 7.5 weeks today and also excited but scared with every little pinch, cramp, etc. I'm pretty much just waiting it out too... My OB has me on progesterone vaginal suppositories until 10weeks since I had the miscarriage but luckily I'm past that mark and my numbers look great. I want to share the news with friends and family but am waiting until I make it to the 2nd trimester. Best to Luck to you!

    Hello ladies, 

     my husband and i MC on New Year's Eve, I was 12 weeks along and had just told the family on Christmas Day. This would have been the first grandchild for both sides of the family.  I am now seven weeks along with this one and I am fearful everyday. I am trying to stay as positive as I can, and have good thoughts for this one. It is nice to be able to share my story with all of you because quite frankly a lot of my friends and family didn't really know how to react to the whole thing. I have nothing but good wishes for all of you and I hope we all get to see a happy healthy baby in the end.

    I'm also 7 weeks pregnant after MC in February and have the same feelings! I find that when I talk to the baby I feel better. Maybe that seems silly, but at least I know I am making the most of the time we will have together and hopefully I'll get to meet this one! Good luck!!

    I know how you feel. I had a missed m/c in march 2013 and my husband and I decided that we wouldn't "plan" to have a baby and just let it happen. I was 7w 3d when we lost the baby. Iwas supposed to be 8w 3d when I went for the US.

    We have just came back from vacation on Sunday, and I have been feeling different. So I took a test yesterday morning and it came out positive right away! So right now I'm a little bit scared to be so excited. I am but I'm not? Makes sense?! I also don't want to get my hopes up until I see the dr and see/hear the heartbeat then I will be more at ease. I have an appt on Friday and crossing my fingers and praying and hoping for the best.

    Best of luck and lots of baby dust and prayers to everyone for happy, healthy little ones.

    Positive thoughts ladies :
