UPDATE: for those that had bad NT results the 1st time

The closer it gets to my NT tomorrow the more nervous and anxious I am.

We had bad results last time and my NT is tomorrow morning.  For those that had bad results the 1st time how did you feel the 2nd time around? Did you have a bad feeling? I've felt good up to this point and now I'm just thinking the worse. I hate this!!!

I want to go home, go to bed, and just wake up tomorrow and it's only 4:30 p.m. here.

Update: We're back and got the best results!! Very low risks for both downs and T18. We're not going to have a CVS or amnio - we'll just let God take care of us.

This was a hard milestone for us - I think we were really detached from the whole thing, because we were so scared to have a repeat of our first pregnancy. I did have the bad thoughts - it's impossible not to - but everything was beyond perfect with our LO, so my paranoia was just that.

All you can do is take deep breaths and get through it. I know how you feel - the idea of having to terminate another pregnancy...I told DH I don't know how I would live through it a second time. He told me "you just would" and of course he's right.

Good luck tomorrow. I'm sure everything is going to be just fine.

To tell you the truth, I'm scared sh!tless. Mine is on 1/3. The MFM offered to have me come in during week 10 to check for anencephaly on their high-powered u/s machine, but I declined, as I didn't want it to ruin my holidays if it didn't turn out well. So, that why I made the NT appt for 1/3.

T+Ps for an excellent scan tomorrow. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

I am so scared.  I keep going from really positive to terrified about 12 times a day. 

On one hand, I tell myself that the odds of it happening again are SO slim.  On the other hand, I feel like I almost can't imagine getting good news. 

It looks like I will have mine on 1/3.  It feels like forever to wait!

I am so sorry you had bad news last time for your NT scan, and I think it's completely normal to be scared this time. I guess all you can do is hope for the best. Whatever the results are, that's just what they are going to be and there is unfortunately nothing you can do. I feel the same way with my low prog. issue and scared that it's some sort of chromosome issue and just sort of waiting for bad news.. but thats just no way to live day to day! I struggle with it every day, I don't want to go through another loss, but.. I might as well just enjoy and hope for the best. I hope everything turns out okay for you!!
