Does anyone know how common mmc is?

My first pregnancy ended in missed miscarriage so I understand the fear. If you're worried then best thing you can do is book a private reassurance scan for peace of mind. My 2nd pregnancy I had spotting at 5 weeks 6 days, exactly how far along I was when it first happened with my miscarriage. You can imagine how that scared the crap out of us! I ended up being given a scan at the early pregnancy unit on the NHS & that put my mind at rest because she was fine. She's 2½ now. Age is a factor, it's much more likely if you're over 35, even more so over 40. My sister in law had 2 missed miscarriages before getting pregnant with my niece who's 5 now. I felt even more confident when my clothes started getting tight at 10 weeks without my having put any weight on yet. If you can't relax & stop worrying then definitely try & get a reassurance scan ❤️

I’m only 5 weeks at the moment so I don’t think they’ll see me yet. Maybe I’ll be able to get one soon but the midwives don’t seem bothered so who knows!

I mean, a MMC or silent miscarriage is generally is one that happens without a sign, so there would be no bleeding. I had a MMC at 12 weeks, there was no sign anything was wrong. If I’d been for a private scan up until 10 weeks, all would have most likely looked fine. There was no bleeding to hint anything was wrong. I have however had spotting and bleeding in both of my successful pregnancies. I do think they’re less common than ‘regular’ miscarriages.

I had a MMC in 22 with my very first. I didn’t have bleeding, or any other symptoms. The way I knew was I had lost all pregnancy symptoms. My doctor, my ex, everyone told me it was fine because I wasn’t bleeding, but it wasn’t fine. I lost them at 9 weeks, found out at 12 weeks, and actually miscarried at 15 weeks. Roughly 10-15% of all pregnancies are losses. 50-75% are chemical pregnancies, and only roughly 3% are MMC. They are quite uncommon, but sadly it happens. If you still have pregnancy symptoms you’re likely still pregnant. I am constantly freezing when pregnant, I stopped when I lost them at 9 weeks which was my biggest tell. Try to breath. I’m pregnant again and I went to the ER at 5 weeks for bleeding (I thought I was further) and they diagnosed me with a threatened which is just unexplained bleeding and no heart beat. I went into my doctor a week later and I seen the heartbeat. Next week hopefully I’ll hear it. Sending love and 🤞🏻 for a sticky nugget!

If you’re really nervous I’d say wait a week till you’re 6 weeks and go to the ER. You can’t do it regularly as your insurance will throw a fit… but it would give you peace of mind for at least a little while.

How are you now? Did you have any symptoms XXX

@Helen I’m 10 weeks. I had a scan at 9+2 and baby was fine. Praying that I’ve made it through the most risky time

I’m so happy it’s worked out! Hoping you get only good news! 🫶🏻
