1st Trimester

Paranoia

So, I had my first dr appt on Friday and everything was fine except for the fact that we don't have a firm due date (irregular cycles). ?Because of this, I am having an ultrasound on this Friday so the doctor can measure and come up with an accuarate due date. ?My labs were all normal, exam was fine, etc. ?You'd think that would reassure me. ?However, I'm now worried about the ultrasound and what it will show. ?I am terrified of it showing an embryo that isn't viable or a blighted ovum. ?Ugh!!! ?I know the chances are fairly small that anything is wrong, but I can't help but worry. ?I will feel soooo much better after the ultrasound! ?Anyone have similar fears?

Re: Paranoia

  • I know it is still days away, but you have got to try to relax. Based on my LMP, the doctor thought I was going to be 2-3 weeks further along than I am, but I am a late O'er, so we were just 7 weeks at our first appointment. Think of it this way- you'll get to have an u/s earlier than some people do and chances are that you'll get to see your little baby! GL!
  • Welcome to motherhood!  There will always be something to worry about!  I'm terrified that when we go for our NT scan, the baby won't have a heartbeat anymore.  I picked this phrase up from another board and it really helps me:  "Today I am pregnant and I love my baby." and "I am pregnant until proven otherwise."  Try a relax as much as you can.  Enjoy this pregnancy!

  • I spent the first 12 weeks of pregnancy in denial.  We had our initial appt at 9 weeks, but it was mostly paperwork and education.  We had our u/s at 12 weeks and thats when I saw his hb and knew he was in there and doing well.  I so badly wanted to be pregnant, but didn't want to receive any bad news.  Don't worry, you're normal.  :)

  • Thank you all so much for your kind words!!  You are truly helping me calm myself down and reassuring me that I'm not completely off my rocker for being paranoid :)  I will keep reminding myself that I am pregnant until proven otherwise and I will try to enjoy it, morning sickness and all!
  • It is really scary.  I don't have advice because I am right there with you!  It may help just knowing that you're not the only one.  Good luck!
