I know Its normal for symptoms to come and go, but in week 6 & 7 I felt so sick, I was taking Zofran religiously (every 8 hours). My boobs were also so painful.
I'm now in week 8 and I don't really feel pregnant. Nausea went away, boobs not sore, and last night I stayed up to 11 and wasn't even tired.
I am terrified because from the previous missed miscarriages I've seen on this board (in signatures, etc) it seems the babies stop growing/die in week 8.
Is this something I should call my doctor about, or am I just being overly anxious? My next appointment is at 10 weeks (I'm currently 8w3d).

Symptoms come and go. It's a normal part of pregnancy. You can call your doctor if you want, but likely there isn't going to be much they can do for you except try and reassure you. Have you had an u/s yet? If you have, and you've seen the heartbeat, your chances of a m/c are very low at this point.
Although this board can be a great place to meet other moms due in April, at times it can be overwhelming with information (both good and bad). You mind find stepping back for a week or two helps ease your mind.

We did see a heartbeat at week 6.. But I know that's not always a sign that things will go perfect! Thanks ladies.. If I'm still feeling no symptoms tomorrow morning I may just call.

Thanks for the input, I'm so sorry for your previous loss
A missed miscarriage is called missed because your body doesn't know/realize the baby stopped growing. And it doesn't just happen at 8 weeks. A mc can happen at any point up to 24 weeks.
I had a missed mc in April with my second pregnancy. My baby had a good heartbeat at 6 weeks and 8 weeks and died just before 10w. I found out when I went for my scan a week later. I was nauseous, my boobs were killing, exhausted, etc until 3 weeks after my D&C. It wasnt until then that my symptoms started to finally fade. As any women who has experienced a missed mc will tell you symptoms mean nothing.
Try and relax, I know it's hard, but if you've made it this far with a good heartbeat and no issues, the odds are in your favor that your baby is fine.

Thank you so much for the input, I really appreciate hearing from those who have been through it. I'll be honest.. I realized one reason it's been bothering me is because my mom has been pressuring me to tell my grandparents and brothers. She said she cannot keep the secret and we just need to tell them. I finally told her that I just don't feel comfortable. (She then said, but wouldn't you tell them about a miscarriage?? And I said no!) I just need to stand firm with her even if she is upset with me. I'm obviously so scared to lose this baby, but I realized dealing with her pressuring me about telling my family too early is stressing me out too.
Having to tell people you've lost your baby, especially if most of them have never experienced a loss, is very difficult. After 2 losses, I am so tired of hearing everyone tell me it was going to be ok, that my losses happened for a reason, that the babies weren't meant to be and that we'd get pregnant again and the baby we give birth to will mean more to us than our losses ever would (You'd be amazed at the things people say to a women who has lost a child). People should understand if you want to wait to announce and shouldn't force it.
So this pregnancy, we have told no one except my Crossfit coaches because they have to know. And I do not plan to tell anyone until we're past the NT scan and things look good. And at that we're only telling close friends and family.

Yes, I've realized if god forbid something happens, next pregnancy will not be shared with them until 12 weeks!!
I know that symptoms can come and go but needed to hear from my doctor. One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone says "consider yourself lucky that you're not sick!" For someone whose had a mmc, that's no comfort. I can't help but equate ms with a healthy pregnancy. This time, I felt nauseaus until around week 9, then it tapered off. I'm almost 11 weeks and I'm still scared. I take an inventory of symptoms each day.
I think you should call your doctor any time you have a concern. My office has a triage nurse just for that purpose. It won't change anything but may give you peace of mind! Good luck!
