    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 never knew. I don't have that sort of intuition I guess, I don't have it with my other children either...

    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.

    I kinda knew something was wrong, but I definitely didn't expect to be told he was dead. I thought at worst he'd have to be born early, at best there was nothing wrong and I was worrying too much again.

    I just knew. And when my m/s dissoed I was convinced.
    2 weeks later I started to bleed.
    I had a missed m/c.

    I just had a feeling it was my frist pg and i just knew i kept calling the dr to ask for a scan and he kept saying no and when he finally said yes i found out that i had a missed misscarriage and it had been three weeks since the baby had passed.

    Pregnant with my 4th child i felt from the begining something was just not right even going into the 12 weeks scan i was expecting something not to be normal and i was right even when the cvs and amnio said all clear i still felt uneasy and did not feel good about buying baby clothes i kept telling DH lets just wait to buy the pram and when the 19 week scan gave us a definate answer i knew i had to say goodbye and i was prepared because i had been expecting it.

    I didn't know. Because it was a molar pregnancy, I still had all the pg symptoms, which actually were worse than they were with this sticky one. I never ever got that feeling that the baby was gone.

    I don't think I had a 'feeling' something was going to go wrong...I didn't buy anything for Josh though, thinking I will do it later when I know he'll definitely be OK. Maybe I was doubting my pg without realising it??? The only thing not going in my favour was a big fibroid in the uterus and the OB said I will most likely deliver a bit early. I was feeling quite sore aroud 16-17 weeks but I thought it was the fibroid so put it down to that. When I went into labout at 21 weeks I still didn't think it was labour, rather the pain from the fibroid (that's what I thought they were treating in hossy, turns out they didn't tell me what was happening so I wouldn't get stressed out). I do remember the morning before Josh was born, it was something like 1 am in the morning, I just had the most dreadful feeling and felt scared to be alone in the room (I had the whole room to myself, there were 4 beds). I felt like someoe was there with me, it was really weird. I had to ask one of the nurses to put the light on for me.

    Hello...

    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.
