Who has had a missed miscarriage?
I would know if I have had a regular miscarriage, as I'd be bleeding and cramping and all that. but what scares me is the missed miscarriages. I heard that preg symptoms should usually decrease in that situation but not always, and a woman could still experience soar breasts and nausea even after the fact. so I'm wondering, for those who have experienced them, did you feel ANYTHING at all, or were you completely shocked at the ultrasound? I know one woman said she just "didn't feel pregnant" anymore. I'm wondering if that was the case with other woman, too
basically, this is my first baby and I'm, of course, just being paranoid since I'm 2 months but still have not gone in to hear the heartbeat. I'm going to set up an appointment this week but if it's too far ahead I'm considering just ordering a fetal doppler and seeing if I can hear the heartbeat myself, just to calm my fears. How soon can a doppler pick up the heartbeat? because I heard it takes a little longer to pick it up than an ultrasound would

Try not to stress too much about it, as stressing is not a good thing when your pregnant. As you say, most women get symtoms if they're misscarrying, so if you havent had any symptoms you should be right. Maybe book an appointment so you can see your baby on a scan. That way you know for sure.
But you cant change what nature wants. I was 30 weeks pregnant and had the "normal" pregnancy. I went in for my routine fortnightly appointment and found out my baby was dead. I had no symptoms no nothing. To me, my baby was all fine as I felt her bum and feet sticking out, but later found out that she was only "rocking" in the fluid.
Im not religious, but I beleive if its meant to be it will. Obviously in my case, it wasnt meant to be.
Just stay positive

Good Luck!!

I have had a missed miscarriage at 9 weeks, baby was only showing to be 5 weeks along. Next day I was having some cramping and bleeding. I lost the baby but then became pregnant again about 6 weeks later. Now I am pregnant with baby #4 due in about 10 days…I feel as though I have been pregnant for a year LITERALLY.

ive had two miscarriages the first one i was 15 weeks pregnant and the second one i was only 9.5 half weeks the first one of course hurt the most since i was pretty far along but the second one i had that feeling but it didnt hurt. i know being pregnant your always gunna be scared and have your fears but just be patient.

i miscarried on dec 29 at almost 7 weeks along..my nipples hurt so bad and i was really tired and all those symptoms and then i cramped really bad where i was doubled over in pain and then i miscarried..and my symptoms just stopped…i went to the doctor and they just confirmed that i miscarried and that everything had come out on its own..i hope that helps.

first baby fears are normal…my sister was a spazz…and she's got 3 now…i laughed at her at the time, but now (with my wife due with our first in june) i know how she felt. its crucial during the first trimester to go to the doctor to keep checking up on the baby. I dont know what to tell you about the heartbeat, just relax and take it all in stride
