I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks 3 years ago now. I knew straight away though as I had a great gynea who got me in for testing immediately. It's a hard thing to go through and I would not wish it on anyone.
Thank you everybody! I know the memories would have been painful so I appreciate you sharing your stories. I was just trying to get a feel for the most common period for miscarriage. Looks like it is between 5-8 weeks. I'm currently 4 weeks and 1 day with bubs # 1 so I'll just keep eating properly and exercising and hope for the best.
My first baby miscarried at 10 weeks.
The one I lost between Emily and Toby was very early - I found out about it at just on 7 weeks but it was a blighted ovum so it wasn't right from the very beginning.
I had an ultrasound at 12 weeks to find the baby had stopped growing at 8 weeks, there was a heartbeat seen 2 days before, but even though it was not said I now assume it was not the right heart rate but it was there. I was told to wait a week and see what happens.
2 days later next scan revealed no heart beat, baby 8 weeks in size and uterus 12 weeks.
why there was still a hb I dont know, I have never really had this explained to me.
My first i lost at 8 or 9 weeks (didn't know i was PG until i miscarried) but it was a blighted ovum so there was no foetus as such.
My second i lost at 5wk and some days. Just pregnant enough to have had a +ve HPT and then a -ve one 3 days later, bleeding started that day. Think it would possibly be counted as a chemical pregnancy, though i ended up in A&E with the bleeding and pain, luckily didn't need a D&C.
I had a missed m/c at 13 weeks, baby was dated about 11.5. Second m/c was at 5.5 weeks.
Congrats on your pregnancy. Try not to worry too much about m/c - its an awful reality of far too many pregnancies, but its much better if you can be positive and imagine in just a few short (ha ha!) months you'll be holding your baby in your arms.
