Pregnant after a Loss
first u/s panic attack coming on!
My first ultrasound is at 3:00 today. I am so friggin nervous, I can't even think!!!!! I was sick all weekend, and I've been mildly crampy since yesterday. Please remind me that cramps at the 6-7 week mark usually are normal and indicate growth. See, I know that, but it would be a huge help to hear it from someone else. Also, remind me that the funky colored brownish discharge is from the crinone, and normal as well!!!!!
I don't know if I want time to go quickly so I can meet my baby, or slowly because I am so freaking terrified I might get back news!

Re: first u/s panic attack coming on!
Oh honey I know just how you feel! I'm not even going to tell you to relax because I know it's totally impossible. I'm not just saying this, it's really true: cramps and spotting are normal!! I had both of those at my 1st u/s and everything went as well as possible. I've been spotting for 2 weeks and it just stopped this weekend, but my Turkey is just fine in there - cooking up just right! I'm sure everything will be the same for you.
Also, I have decided to make my future u/s appts. earlier in the day so I don't spend all day stressing.
Just relax - everything will be fine. I was a nervous wreck at my first visit too but everything went great! Try and reverse your anxiety into excitement! You get to see your baby today, yay!!!
Fill us in when you get back! And GL today!
Everything is going to be fine, and you're going to look at that screen and see your itty-bitty with a swooshing heartbeat! I had massive cramps around 6-7 weeks. They started dying down around 8 weeks.
You get to see your baby today!!!
Congratulations! It's going to be wonderful.
I had my first u/s at 6w 6d, too, and I could barely breathe all morning before I went in. So I feel your pain. But all was fine! It's just a blob there, but you should be able to see the heart beating!!! Have fun!!
