Big u/s today--very conflicted

in Pregnant after a Loss
So 5:00 tonight is my big u/s.  I should be so excited since this is one of the big pregnancy moments, but instead I'm petrified.  I have been bleeding heavily again over the weekend and am so afraid that the u/s will show a problem that is seriously jeopardizing the baby.  I am still able to find the heartbeat on my doppler, but this now makes 4 heavy bleeding episodes & almost constant spotting over the past 4 or so weeks without having a real reason as of yet.  I don't expect to have any answers tonight, but will follow-up with the doc tomorrow afternoon.  I apologize if this sounds like whining, but I want so much to be enjoying the blessings of this pregnancy, not sitting home every day worrying if this bleed will be the one that is too much for my little baby...

    The good news is... In all likelihood, you're going to see a perfect healthy little baby in there. It really sucks that you have been bleeding and I completely understand that you must be terribly scared and upset.. but really, if you've been bleeding for awhile now and your baby is still fine, its probably not something that is affecting him/her directly. It could be a low lying placenta or something relatively harmless. Hopefully you get some answers tonight. Make sure you tell the u/s tech about the bleeding so they will be sure to be looking for a cause.

    I hope you get some answers.  I can see why you are scared.  (((Hugs)))  I hope everything is okay and I'm glad you can hear your baby on the doppler - that must bring some comfort.

    You are definitely not whining....  You have every reason to be worried.  The good thing is that you're still able to hear the baby's heartbeat.  I'm sure your ultrasound will turn out beautifully.  Keep us posted...  You'll be in my thoughts...
