Delurking to say I'm sorry for your loss boat girl.

Sorry to hear your news boat girl. You're right, there's nothing to prepare you for it, and no words that fit. Hugs.

Glad your scan went well Ali.

The midwife called me today, I have a "new mums day" - can't remember what she called it, a one hour group thing for ladies who haven't been pregnant before at 8 weeks, and a booking appointment at 9 weeks to go through medical questions and take blood samples. The first one is just for ladies, but OH is welcome at the second. So three weeks before anything happens!

They asked me which hospital of 4 I wanted to go to, I thought how would I know? I would only ask my sister or friends with kids, and we're not planning on saying anything until after the 12 week-ish scan. I just said the one she said was nearest! How did anyone else pick?

There's only one hospital near me!

I picked the nearest last time and will go there again .I wouldn't worry too much at the moment. If you change your mind I am sure they will change you.

So sorry Boatgirl. Hope you are doing as well as you can be.

Ladies can I ask, are you all as anxious as I am? I'm 9 weeks today and cannot stop fretting for even a minute about having a MMC. I'm absolutely terrified that the baby has died, or will do if it hasn't already, and almost have myself convinced and am losing so much sleep over it. I don't have a scan date yet but it's going to be at least another three weeks and I seriously don't know if I can cope with the anxiety but as I've had no warning signs I don't think the GP/midwife etc would be interested and would just send me away and tell me I'm paranoid?

Yep I've felt the same every days for the past three weeks. I've had stomach ache and been running to the loo expecting blood but nothing. It's my scan today and I pray everything is ok xx

boatgirl - so sorry to hear your news but as others say I suppose in one way it's easier the decision has been taken out of your hands. if you need it, you hopefully know about the mc thread

Hope your scan goes well today monty-doggy.

Angeltreats, I can understand the anxiety. It's such a long time to wait for the scan! I hated waiting even the week from my missed period to taking the test, and every time I feel a bit bleugh I wonder if something's wrong. Real anxiety is a tough one though, it's not rational and hard to shake. Can you distract yourself with nice pleasurable things, spending time with friends or OH and having a laugh?

Just delurking to say I had a MMC and I was the complete opposite before I found out. I just always assumed it happened to other people if that makese sense and when it was me sat there being told what I was told it was like an out of body experience.

That being said in this pregnancy I was a nervous wreck, constant knicker watch, constant worrying, driving my OH up the wall and everything at the 12 week scan was as it should be.
