I'm an advocate for calling the doctor, that's what they are there for. However, I don't think you are having a misscarriage. I think that you just lucked up. Enjoy not having morning sickness anymore and don't stress about it. Stress can bring all those symptoms rushing back. Relax

:shock: I am so surprised that noone in here has told u but I am currently planning a pregnancy so naturally I have been reading everything I can get my hands on. Let me tell you whenever your pregnancy signs vanish you should immediately call the doctor b/c it can definitley mean you have had a miscarriage and not known it. It says it in every book I have read that you should call the doctor immediately if this happens! So please hurry and let me know what happens.

You would definitely know if you were having a miscarriage. Most women's symptoms do completely subside after 2-3 months. As long as you are not in any pain, or having any vaginal bleeding/spotting, then you are fine.

After you begin to feel the baby move inside you, you should worry if you stop feeling the movements. I think this may be what the previous poster meant.

Just relax and enjoy feeling good!!! You will soon be entering your second trimester. This is definitely the easiest. You are no longer having morning sickness, and the baby is still to small to effect your comfort! Good luck!!!

When I was going thru the early weeks, myself and quite a few others all went thru the same thing. Symptoms seemed to almost completely vanish. It think it is the place where the ovaries quit spilling hormones, and the placenta is not "completely" developed yet, so maybe just not as much of certain hormones.

Now at 23 weeks the symptoms still come and go for me, but my situation is much different than most.......

Mine come and go. I am 9 weeks tommorow. On wednesday, I had an ultra sound and saw my baby. The doctor said everything was progressing normally.

So I don't think your having a miscarraige at all.

My mom only had morning sickness and the whole (shebang) with me. She always tells me that (because apparently i'm her 2nd problem child). She also, always adds that it all disappeared when she got the Dr.'s confirmation of what she'd already known, she was pregnant for the 2nd time.

Leigh10,
this is extremely important and I do not want to alarm you, but I was on here for somethingelse and decided to register just to answer your question!

I am 28 y.O. And a mother of 2 and a medical assistant. I was pregnant 2 times before and when I was 11 weeks each time I lost all symptoms. Went in for ultrasound and the fetus heartbeat had stopped. The first time I was excited all symptoms stopped because I was sooooo sick, and went in for routine u/s and found out then that it had stopped. I felt like an fool for not even telling the doctor(not that it would of helped) then I became pregnant again and at 11 weeks they stopped again and I probably stressed myself out so bad over wondering if it was going to happen, then I decided to get pregnant again and tried a new doctor because my previous one could not find anything. The new one put me on progesterone as soon as we new we were pregnant and that baby made it full term!~ they call this a spontaneous abortion(meaning it aborted itself due to a defect)
please do not take this as this is what it is, but please call your doctor for an u?S and please let me know what they say!

I wish you the best of luck and will pray everything is good.
also if you do not want to wait till tomorrow, go to your hospital and demand a u/s. Good luck and I hope it is nothing!!

I really do appreciate all of your replies. I am still not feeling any symptoms except for tenderness in breasts, but even that is not as bad as it was. I am deffinately calling my Dr. In the morning and will demand to come in asap. I am actually thinking of changing doctors b/c mine is a very old man (not that it's a bad thing) but he is very traditional and seems to be bothered by my calling about certain issues. I will admitt that sometimes I do over react, but this is my first time, I don't know what to expect, and i'm nervous. I feel that he is there (or at least his staff) to listen and understand my concerns. When I told them how unusually sick I was, they told me that it was completely normal and nothing can be done about it. About 2 weeks ago I was spotting, and obviously very scared, but I was told that it is normal to spot during pregnancy and not something to worry about. Sorry to rant on and on.......But I am just frusturated and worried. In fact, I don't think i'll call him for an apopintment.....I am going to call my friend's ob whom she said was excellent and very attentive! Anyways, thanks again for the advice...I 'll let yall know what happens tomorrow!

Good luck leigh!

Good luck leigh10, please let me know what the doctor says,the one good thing is that you do still have some tenderness in the breasts, I lost all symptoms completely, so there is hope!
Please let me know what happens!Good luck!

Yes, please keep us all posted. It is possible to miscarry & not even know it. I hope everything is okay. Definately call the dr:) no time to waste:)

I'm sorry it has taken so long to get back to yall. I went to another doctor on mon, but she unfortunately informed me that I had a missed miscarriage. There was no heartbeat and the ultra-sound showed no growth. She said that my spotting and cramps 2 weeks ago could have signaled something, but they also might not have had anything to do with it, b/c spotting and cramps are not that uncommon. She said the main indicaor of a problem was when my symptoms disapeared, especially since they were so severe through out my pregnancy. She also said that even if I had come in that first day that I noticed less symptoms, that nothing could have been done, b/c the baby would have already been dead. The baby died about 2 weeks ago, give or take a little. I am so hurt and angry, and I know it is no ones fault, but I can't help but think "what if" this and "what if" that. What if the spotting and cramps did have something to do with this, I mean it was around the same time that she is saying the baby died. I called my former doctor 2 weeks ago when I was spotting and cramping, but he insisted that nothing was wrong and I had no reason to worry. Maybe he is right, but I just keep thinking if only he had asked me to come in, maybe something could have been done. We are now having to go through the process of telling our families what happened. They were all so excited about their first grandchild, and my sister's were so excited about being aunts. Now I have to go in for a d&c tomorrow morning, which I am dreading and feel horible about, but I understand it is necessary. I realize that this sounds very selfish and childish, but how much pain should I expect from the d&c? I know that labor was going to be very painful, but I was ok with that because it is a joyful and miraculous expirence. This, however has been an emotionaly draning and painful expirence, and I just don't feel that I have the energery to endure physical pain right now....It will make the whole thing even worse and really drive in the fact that I lost my baby. If anyone has gone through this, please let me know what to expect. I really do appreciate all of the help and support that yall have given to me. I so exhausted now, so I am going to lay down and try to rest. I will check back with yall later. Thanks for everything.

I have had d&c many times with miscarriages--never felt any extra pain afterwards--except with molar pregnancy--but they had t take the top lining of my uterus out. I was bleeding to death on that one.

They do put you to sleep though, or atleast they used to.

It is not a bad experience, not no more than what you are already going thru. No one deserves this!! .God have mercy

god bless you sweetie, I am so sorry this has happened to you

You need to go after that doctor!!! If you are pregnant and cramping/spotting, they are supposed to tell you to go in to be seen right away!!!!

I am so sorry for your loss. We are all here for you.

I'm so sorry for you leigh!

I had a d&c last june.....They still put you to sleep. Everyone said it wasn't going to cause any pain after the procedure....But it did! Well, you're already weak from the trauma already that it weighs down on you even more.

Take it easy and don't hold anything in---talk, cry and scream about it if you need to!

Good luck!

Oh leigh, I am so sorry. I went through a miscarraige this past may, but I knew it was happening. I had spotting from the start. I ended up miscarrying @ 7 weeks. Before you know it you'll be able to start trying agin:) . As for the d&c, I didn't need one - so i'm not sure about the pain. Things happen for a reason, even though it's really hard. I know that it took me a while to get past it. I found myself crying every time I had sex with my husband - not because it was painful - but just the thought of knowing we lost a baby. Everything will be okay, it just takes time. And I know that is the worst:( .My thoughts are with you. I wish you the best of luck:)

Leigh I am so sorry this happened. A friend of mine went through infertility for months and had been trying for years and when they finally got pregnate she lost the baby about three weeks along. Not very far. But the next time was a succses and she has a bouncing baby girl! Don't give up hope dear, there is a reason and .God will give you a healthy baby i'm sure! My prayers are with you.
You have also taught alot of people on this forum a valuable lesson, when the symptoms stop to get in a doc asap. Again I will be praying for you.
Lisa

I am so sorry for your lost. I had a d&c last year due to a molar pregnancy. I didn't exprience any pain or after effects from the procedure. However when I woke up form the anethesia, I felt empty. I cried for days after that. Don't be afraid to lean on your family for support, you'll need them.

God bless

Hi everyone, i'm sorry it has taken a while to get back to yall, but i'm sure yall understand. I am doing surprisingly well, considering the circumstances. I am trying to be as positive as one can be, and I continue to remind my self that god has a plan for everything and everyone. The procedure it self was not too bad and went by very quickly. I have had general anethesia in the past and it made me extremely ill, so I opted for iv sedation, which I am very glad for b/c it knocked me out enough to not know what was going on, but with out the bad after effects. Since then, I haven't really had much pain, just some minor cramping, but nothing that advil can't help. My new doctor has been so wonderful, sympathetic, and supportive, which we really appreciate, and she told us that we could start trying again pretty soon and should not have any problems. We'v actually decided to wait a while....Probably till summer. This one was a huge surprise, a welcome one of course, but a surprise none the less, so we are going back to our original plan to wait a bit. As far as my former doctor goes......I'm not sure what to do. I considered calling him up and telling him what happen, but it wasn't really his fault. Yes, I am angry that he didn't ask me to come in, but maybe it would not have made a difference. I'm afraid that if I did call him, that it would just make me a spiteful person looking for someone to blame, and I don't want to be that person. A good friend of mine, who is not pregnant but is trying, sees him, so I will share my expirence with her and let her decide if she wants to continue going to him. Over all, it has been difficult, but I have learned some very valuble lessons, most importantly to listen to my gut insticts and not let someone convince me that things are fine when I feel differently. I really do appreciate all of the advice and support that yall have provided me with and I wish you all the best of luck. I'm still going to hang around, because I really like this forum and enjoy the conversation, so i'm sure i'll run into yall now and then. Thanks you again so very much! God bless!
