I'm freaking out

[Deleted]

My first ultrasound is tomorrow.

My first ultrasound during my last pregnancy in July didn't go so well.


I'm freaking out. If there's nothing there, I don't know what I'll do. I've been so numb this time around, and that makes me feel guilty, but I just can't get excited again and then have another m/c. I've hardly had any symptoms, and if I do they're so small it makes me think they're just in my head.

I know generally no symptoms isn't the best thing.


WTF IS GOING ON IN HERE

[mrssandro]

I often pull out my mantra's on days I start getting super worried. I had a missed m/c my first pregnancy. So I am really anxious about hearing the babies heartbeat which won't be for another 2-3 weeks. I just try to stay positive.

You will get through this!

* "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."

Fingers crossed. I comfort myself with statistics. The odds are everything is totally fine. I also like to say the universe cannot screw me again so that's another way of looking at it.

I didn't really have any symptoms in the beginning either, and my baby was totally just hanging out in there, chilling.
I am keeping everything crossed for you that you have happy news!

FX for you...odds are everything is good

Happy thoughts heading your way.....

A ton of women don't have many symptoms and end up having a healthy beautiful baby. You are probably just one of the lucky ones

I hope your u/s goes well and your little bean is chillin in your ute!

I have a follow up u/s today and am stressed with all the spotting ive had. Cheers to healthy u/s day!!!

I absolutely love this! I am so glad you shared

I have no words of wisdom, but wanted to wish you luck tomorrow. FX that everything will be great!

[iheartvino]

I feel the same way, though I don't have a history of loss, so I'm sure your emotions are doubly that.

I won't be able to relax until I have an ultrasound and that won't be until December 26.

FX that you have a fantastic ultrasound tomorrow and there was nothing to worry about.

Thanks you guys for the support, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'll let you know how it goes!

[Deleted]

Fingers crossed!

I had an interesting convo with my mom last week. We have never really talked about her pregnancies with me or with my sister before, and she opened up about it a little bit. Apparently I was one of the first babies at her OB clinic to be imaged with ultrasound, back in mid-1980. They had just received the new device, and my mom was one of the first patients they tried it out on. They couldn't tell much...except that I was there.

But for most of us (well, anyone my age or older probably), our mothers had NO WAY of knowing how we were doing before we were born. That must have been SO nerve-wracking, for the whole nine months. In comparison, we have it pretty good.

But I know the scared feeling. We haven't had an u/s yet or doppler, and I'm very apprehensive about it. Your history of loss makes it that much worse, I'm sure. I'm sending all my good thoughts your way!!!

Keeping my fingers crossed and sending good vibes your way.

Betty, everything is crossed for you. With my first pregnancy I had zero symptoms except that I was tired. And I have a delightful toddler boy. I hope everything goes brilliantly for you tomorrow.

I love this! I had a miscarriage in July, too, so I am feeling the same way. And we're due the same day so far But I am jealous, because my first ultrasound isn't for another 3 weeks. And I am also freaking out until that day comes. My fingers are crossed for you that you have a great ultrasound.

[liverandonions]

Positive thoughts coming your way Betty! Can't wait to hear the good news about your little babe!

[alzi]

No symptoms means nothing. You are just lucky! Fingers crossed for you. Just breathe!

Thinking of you and hope everything goes well tomorrow. Good vibes coming your way.

I don't know if you will read this before your appointment, but you are definitely not alone! I honestly thought I was going crazy before my first u/s this pregnancy. I had completely convinced myself that the baby died and I'd have to have another d&c.

Just try to remember that this is a new pregnancy. I don't really have any advice on helping with the anxiety, but at least your u/s is almost here and you don't have much longer to go until you have a clear answer!

FX and I'll be looking for your update!
