Pregnant after a Loss

Please convince me (and/or advice)

My first u/s is scheduled for 4/2 when I'll be 7w2d pregnant.  I am going CRAZY not knowing that all is ok, and with symptoms coming and going.  It was a really hard weekend (my first EDD was Saturday and the weekend also marked the 5.5 wk mark, which was when everything stopped growing last time).  So now I'm just really paranoid about everything because I didn't even start bleeding until around the 8 wk mark with my m/c. 

I have waves of nausea and woke up with what I thought was m/s yesterday, but didn't have any today-- I did eat at L2theC42's house Sat night though- maybe it was her cooking ;-P  I'm starting to wonder if I'm just mentally causing my body to feel these symptoms.  I haven't been as tired this week either.

I'm really debating moving my u/s up a week to this Friday to ease my mind.  Is this a bad idea?  Should I just stick it out?

  • It is hard when symptoms come and go. Just try to remember that you don't have any reason to worry. I know it is hard. If your doctor will let you come in early I would do it. I had my first u/s early. I still worry off and on but I guess nothing will stop that. GL.

  • Just stick it out ! You will be glad that you did because if you wait you may be far enough along to see a HB at your U/S

  • Thanks ladies, I'm just so torn because there wasn't a baby there last time, and just knowing that there's a baby in there will reassure me x1000. 

    On the other hand, I don't want to go in and have them not be able to see anything at 6w2d and then worry even more until a f/u u/s.

    I really need to just trust that everything is fine this time around.  My doctor doesn't see any reason as to why I would m/c again but that constant nagging fear of it is making me crazy.  It's just that feeling of it being too good to be true.

  • I would stick it out. I know it will be hard but if you wait you will have a better chance of seeing the HB. Symptoms come and go and I can tell you that I really didn't have too many symptoms in the beginning. Hang in there.

  • Thanks!

    I went to the bathroom and gave myself a little pep talk - as in, if I m/c, then I m/c, there's nothing I can do to change it, and waiting the week isn't going to kill me.  If all is well, then the chance to hear the hb is too good to miss!

    ALL THIS.

    I went for my u/s at 7w1d and saw a heartbeat, I'm so glad I went than and not earlier than that.
