Terrified and Excited about US next week

I am so scared about my big US next Monday. I know I can feel my baby, but I can't help but fear that I'm going to find out that something is wrong with him or her. I have a little girl with Downs Syndrome in my class this year, so the proximity to a child with this condition is making me even more nervous about my own baby, and possible birth defects that could happen. In addition, I bought this wonderful video called "In the Womb" by National Geographic, and it shows what a miracle it is to have a healthy baby. I've had such bad luck with my first two pregnancies ending in losses that I am in disbelief that my body is actually doing its job this time. ?I know that I am going to be so anxious until that day is over. Is anyone else feeling this way? How have you coped with this anxiety?

?Thanks :)?

    I know what you mean!! I was nervous before mine too, but if the doctors arent concerned, you will probably be fine!! It is so much fun, (other than trying to hold it until your appointment) It is such a wonderful experience so try to be excited & not worry too much!

    My big level 2 u/s is tomorrow, and I've been feeling the same way. SO excited to see LO (last time s/he just looked like a splotch :), but also really nervous that something could be wrong. We opted out of other genetic testing so this would be the first indication that there could be a problem. I'm mostly just trying not to think about it and reminding myself that the odds of having a healthy baby are drastically higher than not. At this point, that's all I can really do. I'm hoping that everything looks great so I can start being a little more at ease after tomorrow.

    "Let go and let God"   it is the ONLY thing that has kept me sane.  Although I have had 3 healthy children I have also had 6 miscarriages, the most recent one wasn't discovered until 12 weeks.  I know that there is nothing I can do to control this, I also know that worrying about it only makes things worse, both for me and the baby.  There were times when the anxiety was crippling, but it is out of my control.  Good luck and stay strong!

    I have my big ultrasound on Monday too.  While I'm excited and nervous, I'm trying not to think about the things that could go wrong.  I had a loss too and this pregnancy needed a lot of hormone support and special care, so its also hard for me to think that my body is doing what its supposed to be doing.  But, I'm trying to focus on the fact that I find out if I'm having an Addison or and Asher and trying to put all other thoughts out of my head.
