Nervous about 12 week ultra sound

janlye

Hi,

I have my 12 vweek ultra sound on Tuesday 6/26 and very nervous.  I had a chemical pregnancy on 4/11 and a miscarriage recently on 1/22/12 and I guess these are the main reasons why I feel so scared.  This pregnancy is very different from the last two.  I have absolutely no spotting or bleeding and I experienced m/s until my 11th week.  Of course once my m/s went away I started freaking out.  My Dr. assured me that this is around the time symptoms may disappear.  I am trying not to be so negative and for the most part I've been pretty positive but now I am approaching the date to my 12th week ultra sound I am freaking out.  My husband, mother and few friends that I have told have been very supportive and positive but i can't seem to stop myself from feeling like this.

I guess I just wanted to hear positive feedback from anyone who may have experienced anything similar to what I am feeling.

Thanks,

Janell

You are pregnant today....

I had a belighted ovum in 2009 at 10 weeks. I was terrified with DD's u/s and again with this one. Everything has worked out and here I am 40 weeks pregnant.

Girl, I was totally in the same boat. I nearly worked myself into a panic attack in the waiting room. I had an early MC the cycle right before this pregnancy, but I'm not even sure if that was why I was worried. I hadn't even heard the heartbeat at this point so I had no idea if baby was healthy or even alive.

All I can really say is try to relax, do some deep breathing, and enjoy it! Most likely everything is fine and you'll get to see your baby moving around in there. My doc told me that the 12 week mark is where you're out of the really high risk MC phase. So consider that a milestone!

You are nervous because you are already a good mommy.  We all experience the fear of losing our LOs.  It doesn't go away until they are in our arms (and then new fears begin, but things are more in our control).  There is nothing we can do to change the outcome of our pregnancies.  "Let go & let God."

I have a similar situation.  I had an early miscarriage in March, and got another BFP in April with no AF in between.  Luckily I was able to get an early US at 6 weeks and got to see the HB, so that put my mind at ease a bit. But still, I was very nervous going into my 12 week US (which was this past Thursday).  So many "What Ifs" going through my head. Anyways, the appt went great, and I got to see baby moving around lots and measurements were right on track.  I am finally feeling like I am able to relax and breathe a bit more now.

Good Luck, I am sure things will go great.

Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback.  I am feeling a little more calm now especially since I've been feeling some pulling and tugging in my pelvis area .  I did forget to mention that I saw the heart beat at 7 weeks and 3 days. 

I hope this new calm remains with me until Tuesday.  

Thanks again!
