Pregnant after a Loss

7 weeks today, still nervous!

I just got back from my ultrasound and everything looks good so far! I saw the baby's heartbeat but I can't help but be constantly worried. I wish there was a "jump to 12 weeks" option. My previous loss was at 8 weeks so this is a big mental hurdle for me. Poor little dot of mine has been through 3 ultrasounds so far. Hope this is the last for a few weeks to give the little one a rest from being poked and prodded.

  • Congratulations on a great scan! I hope the time until 12 weeks passes quickly for you.
  • Take a deep breath and celebrate having gotten over 1 more hurdle! I totally know what you mean about still being nervous. My last 2 losses were between 7 and 9 weeks, so of course we long to get past those dates. But a strong heartbeat is a great sign and just keep taking things one day at a time because that's all we can do.

  • Congrats on your healthy scan!  :)  I keep thinking, "Surely once I get to ____ weeks, there won't be that nagging worry always fighting its way through my joy."  Not so much.  I'm so much better at fighting it back now, but I think it will be there until I have this little one in my arms.  Actually, I've been told it will last for the next 18+ years! ;)  Something that has helped me is thinking, "I'm going to enjoy every day of this pregnancy and not wish a minute of it away."  Easier said than done some days. 
  • Congratulations! Each positive scan at this stage means so much for a good prognosis. FX they keep looking so great!

  • Hooray for a great u/s!! 

    I'm past 12 weeks and I still worry.  I think there will always be worry until the baby is in my arms.  I keep looking forward to being ___ number of weeks, but then I get there and I'm still worried.

    Hope you have a better experience. :D

    I do find I'm not AS worried - I still have thoughts, but I am more at ease the more good things that happen.  I felt better after a good u/s and I felt even better after hearing the hb on the doppler
