I was sus when my morning sickness didn't start (usually at 6 weeks). I also felt really strange/silly when I was organising a midwife and making plans.. looking back it's almost as if I knew. Then when I started spotting I just knew it wasn't good. I tried to convince myself that spotting can be fine (I had it with DS) but my gut just knew i think. I was very apprehensive going for my scan at 7 weeks and I'm usually really laid back about my scans... I just knew it was going to be an empty screen. Didn't make it much easier actually seeing it tho
For me, I had an instinct with both of my angel babes, that there just wasn't something 'right'. With my first pg, I had spotting, then bleeding from very early on. I had a dream about my baby, and it just felt like he was saying good bye. I had several u/s which all came back ok. But at the last one at 18wks, I just knew it would not be good news. He had passed away the week prior. I had a very simial experience with my second pg, though not as bad bleeding or cramping, but I also had a dream with this baby and again it felt like he was saying goodbye. He was warning me that he would not be earthside with us and was saying hello and goodbye. We found out at 11 weeks that the pg was not to be.
With my next two pg, I did not dream about these bubs, and I just knew it would be ok. Although I had spotting with DD's pg and I was absolutely petrified both times, deep down I knew it would be ok. I feel the same with this pg. Although I have dreamed of this baby, it was a very differnt feeling and she was an older bub (not that I truely know she's a she, I just *know*, lol!), she was sitting up and playing with toys. It was a happy feeling and I just have a feeling it will be all good and she will be with us soon.
At about 7 weeks, I had a few very sharp, very different pains to the normal stretching pains. The night before I m/c at 8 weeks, I just felt it, it's like everyone else has said, I just knew it was going to happen. A few hours later I started cramping and bleeding, and even though DF said there was hope, I knew our baby had gone. I just didn't 'feel' pregnant anymore, itms? That weight in my belly, the tingling in my boobs, and something I still can't explain, it all just went.

: spelling
With Noah... I knew right from the get-go that something wasn't right. My DH would often find me crying because I felt something was wrong with my baby. I'd had scans which showed the baby was fine... the heart beat was able to be heard and as far as the Dr's were concerned, he was doing great in there. Everything came crashing down at the morphology scan. My DH was shocked because everything I had said to him was right.
With my MC in 07, I got my BFP and instantly I thought that the baby wasn't there to stay. Just a silly gut feeling. I even asked my mum how she felt when she miscarried as I thought it would happen to me... I cried when I told mum this and she told me the bub would be fine. A few days later I started spotting and a week later I lost the baby.
With my 3rd loss, I was kinda shocked when it happened. I'd only just got a BFP a few days previous.
Agree with the OP - just intuition told me with all my 4 m/c that they wern't going to be earth babies. Then I started bleeding & knew it was all over from there.
Whilst I was anxiousl& a whole host of other feelings when pg with DD - I knew she was a sticky one
I believe its ur intuition telling u. I had never been pg before and didnt even know anyone that had a miscarriage but right from the start i was saying that i felt like something was wrong.. i just didnt feel pg. Whenever i told ppl they wld just say im silly and too start being positive or i wld cause a m/c. It was very frustrating. But since I had never been pg or knew what a good feeling pregnancy was like i just assumed that it was just me being paranoid. I started spotting at 9 weeks, went for a scan and found out that baby had stopped growing at 5 weeks.. around the time i did the hpt. I felt like yelling at everyone 'See!! I told u!!'. Im glad that after a m/c u can request an early scan cos thats all i ever wanted with the last one but no1 listened to me.
A womans intuition is very strong.. we defintely dont give it enough credit.
Firstly I will say YES I am a newbie to the site. My name is Tess and thought I would reply to this thread.
Althought I can say I didnt "know" I can most definatly say in the last few weeks I knew something was up... and it grew right up until into labour I was telling the midwife that I just had a hunch it wasnt going to go as planned.
Hugs to those who have lost, my heart is with you all.
