Why am I scare s#!tless?

mrs.tashnash

I should be happy and excited for today but I'm not. I'm nervous and scared to the point of being nauseated. We have our 12 week ultrasound this afternoon.

I remember when I was pregnant with DS and feeling nothing but happiness and excitement that I would get in there any see my little one. Now I just feel scared and worried that we'll get in there and find out the worst. I just wish I could go back to a time when I wasn't just waiting for the bottom to fall out.

Thanks for listening. I know you ladies sometimes feel the same way.

PgAL = scared sh!tless (to me!).  You have every right to feel fear and anxiety going into this (or any) appointment.  Its hard to be excited after suffering loss, its natural.  Good luck today.  I hope you have a great u/s and get nothing but good news.

I agree with PP, being scared and anxious is normal. I know the feeling, like you are just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I hope you have a great appointment today, good luck!

Im sorry we all have to go through these feelings. I wish I could be a blissfully ignorant pregnant lady but know I cant... it makes me sad that I (and alot of us here) didnt get that feeling

Ill be sending thoughts your way today! I'm sure your appointment will go great!

I had mine last week and felt the exact same way. Keep on waiting for the other shoe to drop. It is truly a scary feeling. But, I have my fx for you and plenty of T&P's that all is going to go well today (which I know it will!).

All of this. I would give anything to go back to feeling confident and happy and excited only, but since that can't happen, I'm just taking one day at a time!

Some days I just wake up scared $hitless - I think it is all part of of being PgAL! I hope that you have a wonderful ultrasound today! Let us know how it goes.

I was this exact same way with our first ultrasound with this one.  It's just one of those tough times that goes with being PGAL.  Sending you lots of happy thoughts and prayers, and looking forward to a happy update later on.

Thanks everyone! It makes me feel better to know I'm not alone or crazy. DH thinks I have nothing to worry about and to just be excited but it's just so hard. I don't think he totally gets it either which makes it harder.

I'm sorry you're feeling this way, but unfortunately, those of us who have had a loss are more acutely aware of the other side of pregnancy.  It's natural to feel this way, and I know I do, too.  I am certainly more calm than I was in the first few weeks, but the worst is always in the back of my mind, so I empathize with you.  Hang in there, and good luck with your appointment!

Join the club! I think this is why my Bp is always on the high side at my appts. You're definitely not alone. I hope things go great today- don't forget to update us! ((HUGS))
