I'm constantly worried too. As a sonographer I unfortunately see sad stuff often. So I'll be worried until this baby is born and then I'll be worried about newborn stuff lol.
And that just scared me even more. Its so nerve wracking, not knowing what is going on in there. At my last US, baby had a nice strong HB (180 bpm), but I am convinced at my NT screening next week there will be nothing. I just need to get to 2nd tri, when I can see and (hopefully) feel something!
Every time I wipe, I think "I hope there's not blood" and then quickly get up the nerve to look down. I get nervous to wipe! So, yeah, I worry. And I worry about every little thing in my life. I wish I could turn off my worrying mind!
I'm proud of myself if I don't look...its been about three times total that I didn't.
100%. I am worried that baby isn't growing as he/she should. My last ultrasound was at 8 weeks (I'll be 12 tomorrow), and I won't have another one until 19 weeks. Sure I have a Doppler and the doctor uses one too, but how am I supposed to know my baby is growing properly and on track? I fear I'll get to my 19 week ultrasound and somehow my baby will be 3 weeks behind in growth or something... I should be thankful that I'm not considered high risk so that is why I only have a few ultrasounds, but I want to see my baby!

My NT scan is this week too, and I am nervous wreck. I just want to get past this hurdle!

I do that too! I always hold my breath every time I wipe. I am always expecting the worst every time I go to the bathroom. **TMI alert** It also doesn't help that I've been having so much discharge. I keep thinking that I'm bleeding.
So reading through these, I realized I don't have an NT scan scheduled with my doctor. We did the blood draw today for the VisibiliT test for down's & edward's syndromes, but I'm wondering if I'm missing out not doing the NT. I told my doctor I didn't want to do more blood draws than I had to if this VisibiliT test was more accurate than the first trimester screening test, but I didn't say that I didn't want the NT scan. My next appointment isn't until the end of the month and I'm 12 weeks + 3 days already. I had one ultrasound @ 8 weeks.
Did anyone else do the NT scan and do the VisibiliT or other genetic test besides the standard first tri screening? Now I'm wondering if I should call my doctor and ask to do the NT scan.
Glad I'm not the only one! I'm a FTM with a high risk pregnancy. I've had two bleeding scares already. Both weren't super heavy bleeding but worried me majorly and sent me running to the doctor both times. Everything looks good but still, I just hold my breath. We took baby announcement pics this weekend and I had the thought "I hope I didn't jinks it"
Even though my 1st appointment went really well last week, and we saw/heard LO's HB (180 beats per minute- strong!) I still am constantly worried that something is going to happen. I try not to concentrate too much on these Debby Downer thoughts, but I still have moments of imagining going in for our 1st tri screening (11/2) and finding out baby stopped growing. At what point will the constant worrying end? Age 18? I am a natural worry-wart, so the uncertainty of what's going on "in there" has me always thinking. And having my boss announce to the whole office at just shy of ten weeks has me feeling like we are "jinxed" now. Silly, I know.. but where else to voice our silly thoughts and insecurities than TB?
Yeah I am too even though there's no sign whatsoever that I should be. This is something different, I'm used to having some measure of control in a situation. At least a little bit, but with this there's none at all.
I was worrying the day away yesterday being at the same point as my m/c last year so when I got home from work, I used my home fetal doppler and for the first time, it actually worked!! It made me smile and DH had just come home from work in time to hear it too.
I agree with @seasalt123 , the doppler gave me peace of mind, at least in between the dr. aptmts.
Then I could go on about my evening feeling nauseous & burping constantly, lol.
This is my first pregnancy and I'm always freaking myself out reading way too deep into small issues. I feel like I'm going crazy if I feel good one day I'm scared something is wrong! I'm with a midwife so I don't get an ultrasound until 20 weeks and I'm only 12 w 5 days as of now anyone else feel as paranoid and crazy as me?! I feel like I should enjoy the days I feel good!
