Missed miscarriage & loss of pregnancy symptoms

[Anonymous]

If you have had a missed miscarriage, in particular after seeing a heartbeat, did you lose some of your pregnancy symptoms?

Not really, but I think I sensed something was off. The day before I started bleeding, I was talking to my husband about how it didn’t really feel like I was pregnant. I thought it was just because my last experience of being pregnant was at 9 months- and this felt really different- but in hindsight I think I could sense something was off.

I had a 6 week miscarriage and lost all pregnancy symptoms 3 days before I found out. I wasn’t very surprised once it was confirmed. Plus I had been spotting.

Yes! I had a massive headache and then a loss of symptoms. I started bleeding 3 days later.

I was 9.5 weeks when I found out about my MMC and I never really had any strong symptoms besides fatigue, which had not gone away when I found out. My OB said your body still thinks you're pregnant so your symptoms continue, hence it being a missed miscarriage.

Yes. It was like a light switch. I still remember where and when it was. I had been soooo tired, and I was sitting in church and I suddenly just perked up. Never had another symptom. About three weeks after that (11 weeks) I had a scan, and no heart beat and the baby had stopped growing around 7.5 weeks - right when the light switch feeling happened. Never really had any bleeding until the day before the D&C at 12 weeks.

In pregnancy, any symptom means nothing, unless it does. It’s next to impossible to know which is which.

Yes I lost my symptoms right around the time (I later found out) the heartbeat stopped. I was also spotting though.

Gradually lost symptoms. Maybe at 8 weeks? I found out at 6 weeks it was suspected mmc and confirmed at 7 weeks. Never saw a heartbeat. Started bleeding at 10 weeks.

Baby #3 - no. Found out at 13 weeks that baby passed at 8.5 weeks. I had terrible symptoms all that time. But I also had a partial molar pregnancy so my HCG was high.

Baby #5 - I never had any symptoms, which perhaps should have turned me on to the fact that there was a problem. At my first ultrasound at 8.5 weeks I found out it was a blighted ovum and my HCG was 11,000.

I had missed miscarriage that was diagnosed at 13 weeks. Baby stopped growing at 11.5 weeks. I didn’t have any loss of symptoms and was incredibly sick until
I had my d&c.—But like a pp mine was also partial molar pregnancy.

I had a miscarriage diagnosed at what should have been 7 weeks and my HCG levels kept going up (but not the way they should have), and had pregnancy symptoms until after my D&C. About 5 days post D&C is when I finally stopped having symptoms and felt like I wasn’t pregnant.

Nope- when I went in my numbers were still very high- was supposed be 9 weeks but was measuring 6. Still felt totally pregnant.

When I had my miscarriage, I didn't realize it, because all through my pregnancy I felt as if I wasn't pregnant at all. It was a strange feeling and I couldn't explain it to the doctor. It was terribly difficult to get over this loss. Sometimes a woman's body is just not capable of developing another life and you have to accept that, but you should never give up and each of you should remember that. At this point it feels like the whole world is losing colors, but people will always be haunted by loss. We lose one thing, but we gain another. My psychologist told me this. After the treatment I got pregnant again, and I prepared for this pregnancy especially carefully. I was most worried about choosing a midwife because my baby's health depended on it. At that time my husband found https://theaustindoula.com because he wanted to do all the things related to my delivery himself. He personally chose the best for me and I am already holding my baby in his arms. Girls, don't forget that you are capable of giving life. Love and be loved!

I didn't lose any pregnancy symptoms. My first pregnancy was a MMC. Healthy heartbeat and normal growth at 8 week dating scan. And then no heartbeat at 12 week scan - it had died at 9 weeks. It took a long time for HCG levels to drop, even after my D&C at 13 weeks.

I was heartbroken at the time, but I'm totally fine now. 7 months later I became pregnant with my wonderful DC who wouldn't exist if first pregnancy had worked out. And now I'm 29 weeks pregnant with second DC. The only sadness is that with both subsequent pregnancies, I could never really believe that my baby was alive until I could feel them moving regularly.
