I've lost many after seeing their heartbeats several times. So I, obviously, don't believe that BS anymore. I understand the stats but for some people it's very common to lose pregnancies like this.
OP here: it was super unexpected, because the baby’s heartbeat was strong and it measured right on target at the ultrasound. No cause was determined at the hospital, it just stopped growing.
But the hospital sheet said too much exercise or caffeine could contribute to the miscarriage and now I’m wondering if I overdid it.

I had cramps (more painful than period cramps, but different feeling) my entire pregnancy. Especially in the beginning. I also had some mild bleeding. My midwives always told me as long as it didn’t fill up a pad within an hour, I was probably ok. But also never hesitate to call them if something feels off.

I’m so sorry, OP. Like others here, I know the extra pain of a miscarriage happening during a holiday when you can’t get to your doctor quickly. It’s emotionally and physically awful. Sending you warm thoughts.

Very sorry to hear this and I know it must be extra difficult since everyone always says that “you’re safe after you see the heartbeat” too.

Sorry OP, I've definitely been there unfortunately multiple times for both Christmas and Thanksgiving.
