Ridiculous anxiety attack!! Gotta get through today...

Cranang

I'm having my NT scan this afternoon at 1pm.  I am absolutely consumed with fear right now, and I'm trying to work to no avail.  My poor DH didn't want me to come in to work today because he saw how torn up I was, but I had to.  Thank God he's going with me today, or I'd really be losing it.  He must be thinking "what happened to that cool chick I married?  Who is this complete basket case throwing up in the bathroom and crying?'  Everything so far has been pretty much ok.  My progesterone was a little low, but with only 2 days of supplements it basically tripled, so she said I was producing it myself and took me off the supplements.  At the first ultrasound 3 weeks ago, it measured perfect with a heartbeat of 167.  But I'm just so convinced I'm going to go in there and not see a heartbeat or an empty sac or something awful.  Ladies, please talk me down!!!!

I felt the same way yesterday before my 1st ultrasound. My husband understood, I'm sure yours does too.  Good luck! I'm sure you'll be just fine!

You have to relax. This stress will do you no good. I go on Monday for my NT scan and can relate. Try to relax. I hope 1 comes soon for you.

I don't really know what to say. I would just tell myself that I can't change anything at this point. And that if, God forbid, anything has happened to the baby, that it already HAS happened and I can't change it no matter how much I worry about it. GL, I'm sure EVERYTHING is fine with your LO. Just keep your mind busy

please keep in mind this test has a very very high rate of false positives so if they say that something is wrong there may not be something wrong. My dad is a medical professional and warned me about this test therefore I choose not to have it because I dont want to needlessly worry when it wont change anything. keeping that in mind for most people things are just fine. I hope things go well and your little one is happy and healthy

This!  As hard as it is, try to throw yourself into work today and avoid watching the clock, it'll just make things worse.  Set a timer to remind you of when you need to leave (they have these online too if you don't happen to have an egg timer laying around your office), take your watch off and make an effort to not stare at the clock on the computer.  If you drag the bar down, you can get the clock off of your screen entirely. 

I'm a teacher, so usually I'm too busy before my appointments to pay it any mind, but ohhhh man... some days, like when the appt is at 2:00 and I need to take a half day that starts at 11:00 if I want a sub to show, I'm stuck at home twiddling my thumbs freaking out about everything... not watching the clock really helps me. 

I'm sure everything will be fine, but I so know what you're going through.  Mine's Tuesday and, despite this exterior, I'm freaking out about it too.

Thanks ladies!  *sigh*

I got a little distraction this morning morning, as things got rather busy, so I'm a little better now.  I told my husband that his wife has reappeared. Hahaha.

 I'll post later with results!

I don't know if we can say much that will help, but it sounds like the odds are in your favor.  Maybe this will help - in a few hours you get to see your beautiful little baby!  And it will look SO much like an actual baby this time!!!  It's the most amazing thing, try to be excited not scared, I'm sure things will be great.
