    "I just knew I had lost the baby" - what gave you that feeling?

    I often read that people just knew when they had lost their baby. How did you know?

    ITs hard to explain, but i just knew something wasnt right, i just had that "feeling" it wasnt going to end well, with my first mc, i had no idea, i had a hb then at 11 weeks it all went downhill, but with the 2nd one it was 6weeks 2days, so maybe my body knew cause it had been there before, i also had a dream a few days before that i was in labour and the baby didnt make it, the dreamwas quite physical as well, like i felt like i was pushing the baby out, if that made sence.
    Sorry not much help in answering the actual question, but i think we have such a poweful intuition that sometime we just know.

    I would have to agree with Anila on the intuition thing, there was no exact reason why for me just a series of little things that all sort of added up, I also had a few "weird" experiences that really quite scared me and had me thinking that something was wrong, I was also REALLY aprehensive about going to my scan (where I found out my bub had no HB) but I had no reason at all to be, just something in my head/body that was niggling constantly "this isnt gonna be good"
    I hope that makes sense!

    I didn't know until I started bleeding, but once I saw the bleeding, even though it wasn't much then, I knew what was happening. Of course it got worse over the coming days, but as soon as I saw it my heart iced over

    I think that people who just *know* they're pregnant, without testing, are the ones that *know* when they miscarry - I don't know why, I don't think its just because some are more in tune with their bodies, because I'm not in tune with mine. LOL, sorry, not much help to you

    I just knew something was wrong - people kept telling me I was just paranoid, that I was young and healthy so there was no reason why I would miscarry but I just knew - and when I started to spot - I knew that I was right. It upset me that peple weren't taking me seriously, including my doc!

    I think a mothers intuition begins as soon as we are pregnant, as we are all mums, even if it's only to our angel babies!

    I didn't know. I had a little bleed at 11weeks 5 days and right up until I had a scan at 12 weeks I was talking to 'him' telling him to hang in there. When they told me his heart had only stopped beating the day before I was devastated.

    i sort of knew with all 3 of my lil angels with my first it was the back pain that got me it was excruciatting and then i felt really weird for a couple of days like i knew something was wrong but i just tried to ignore it with my son he was a twin and i never knew but i had some bleeding and cramping and started getting fevers and migraines when i went to check they told me all was fine and admittted me due to the fever but found out later that day that there was 2 in there and that one had passed away and my last one i was 12 n a half weeks and for some reason i didnt feel like i was normal and they checked and he was gone and i didnt bleed so i had no idea.. funny thing though i always had dreams a couple days before that i had lost them... weird to say the least but i sort of trust my sub concious now..

    I cant explain and it made it no easier when the Dr couldnt find a HB but yes, I knew that the pregnancy was not going to end the way id wanted!

    I had no idea the first time, tripped into that scan so super happy, came out shocked and crying. I lost a twin with Tiger, so was bleeding at the hospital and decided to just send some super love to the baby I thought I was losing, and then felt really peaceful - told DH we were still having a baby and everything was going to be fine. So far, Tiger's just perfect. So I got more of a sense when things were going right, rather then when they were going wrong. Even now when my fear gets the better of me when I connect to Tiger I feel peaceful.

    I knew throughout my 41 week pregnancy that something would not go right. I "see" things and I saw a lovely road with nice trees, flowers and a park each side of it ending in a huge brick wall. I tried to work out this "vision" the other thing I have been "seeing" for many years is an outdoor funeral with a white coffin and lots of people both hubby and I know at it. I have never been able to work out who's funeral until now. I had seen my daughters funeral.
    I have only ever paid a little bit of attention to the things I "see" sometimes just telling friends if I see danger or good stuff for them.
    I should have paid more attention to the things I see then I might have been able to save my lovely Ellen.

    You will always wonder that Kate but Ellens life was planned by someone/something great than you! Whilst we should/could all take more notice of these feelings we have, we can never be sure that doing something could have changed the outcome!

    I don't know if this counts, but from the very first day of my previous cycle, I had this constant worried feeling that I just couldn't shake. It just felt like I was constantly worried about something and I had no idea what.

    Fast forward to 11DPO when I got my first, but faint BFP. At 12DPO it was a little darker, but still very faint. They only got fainter as the days went by...then I got AF (2 days before our 1 year anniversary when I was going to tell him he was going to be daddy mind you!). I never got bloods done to confirm, but the doc told me it was most likely a very early loss.

    I'm sorry if I am out of place as it was never a confirmed pregnancy, but we have been TTC our first for 10 months now, and that was the closest to our baby that I have ever been.
