So Nervous - Tomorrow's appointment with MW

[mrssandro]

So tomorrow @ 2 is the big appointment with the midwife. I am hoping and praying that that they can pick up the heartbeat with the doppler. The MW said that she has one of those super early dopplers and that most likely there will be no issues but I am still feeling so much anxiety about the appointment.

I had a missed m/c with my first pregnancy (4 years ago). It was during the same cycle and I had my first appointment right around Christmas time. They gave me a U/S and the sac had nothing in it and there was no heartbeat. I was a 10 wk but it didn't go past 6 weeks. I am trying to stay calm and positive. I know that there is nothing I can do to prevent a m/c from happening.

I am trying to read my mantra's and trying not to be too invested. I know that since I had a m/c before there is a chance that this isn't going to work out like I really want it to. The next 24 hours is going to be hard for me while I over think and analyze ever single symptom.

* "Today I am pregnant and I love my baby."
* "I am pregnant until someone tells me otherwise."
* "My past does not dictate my future. A previous m/c does not mean I will have another m/c."--"Just because something sad is happening to another poster, does not mean it will happen to you. We all know m/c and complications are not contagious!
* "Hope does not make bad things happen" You cannot ‘jinx’ your pregnancy by creating a ticker, getting excited, or telling someone. Live in the positive!
* And this is the hardest one: "There is nothing I can do to prevent a m/c from happening. Worrying yourself sick doesn't prevent a m/c. And if (gods forbid) it were to happen again, I know I will survive."

Good luck, Mrs.Sandro! I'll be thinking about you and Baby Sandro.

Fingers and toes crossed for you. A dear friend of mine is about 10 weeks and has had 6 total M/Cs before 10 weeks in her past. She had her 9w5d u/s yesterday and is finally tentatively considering herself in the clear. Just based on my conversations with her, I have an inkling of what you are going through and my heart goes out to you.

Good luck, and keep us updated.

Good luck. I know how you are feeling and that there isn't anything anybody can do but make the clock go faster so the appointment is over with. We will be thinking of you!

Thanks everyone! I am trying to remain confident and positive.
