How do u deal w/the wait?

~*BREN*~ · April 2010

My first ultrasound isn't until May 17th. I will be 9w4d if all goes well between then and now.

I am literally dying that I have to wait that long to see if this little one is progressing as he/she should.

If you are waiting or had to wait long for your first u/s how are you or how did you deal with it?

Sincerely,

Super impatient person. Crying

I am the queen of impatience. And I don?t have any advice, unfortunately. First tri was pure and utter torture. I didn?t deal well, I was just a nervous wreck and a big mess for three months. The days felt like they would never end. As positive as I tried to be, it was impossible to not think the worst and prepare myself for heartbreak everytime I went into the Dr.

I just wanted to wish you the best of luck and to preach that today you are pregnant and love your baby! This is your forever baby Bren! And I promise promise that once you get past first tri the time starts flying and you will wonder how it all happened so fast.

big hugs

I totally understand. I feel like today is the first day I can sort of breathe a sigh of relief. Luckily, I have a 2yr old that kept me pretty busy, but on the down times, I tried to occupy myself with things I enjoyed. (Like taking picnics with dh, walking in the afternoons, shopping....lol)

It'll be time for ur u/s soon. I hope all goes well for you between now and then! Find something to do that relaxes you!

It just blows. My first u/s was at 9 weeks too. I tried to stay as busy as I could when I wasn't at home so I'd be distracted. Make a lot of plans!

FIRST TRI SUCKS! I'm sorry... maybe you can try to take up a new hobby? Scrapbooking? Knitting? EH.!?

I am sorry I know the waiting sucks. I was lucky & most of my first tri was consumed by the holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas)

That is a SUPER busy time for us business wise, so it flew by.

Just try to stay busy

To be honest, I sleep. ALOT. When I'm awake, I'm usually a basket case. I still havent had an u/s, heck, my 1st appt isnt til next week! Really though, I'm taking it 1 day, sometimes 1 hr at a time.

I really like my new doctor, except for the fact that he wanted me to wait until 18 weeks for my first u/s with this pregnancy! He is so very complete with everything else, but has a sort of problem with early "non-essential ultrasounds". So basically, I found a place that does elective ultrasounds without a doctors prescripton, and I've had two so far. The big u/s is still over a month away. The first wasn't until 7 weeks, but it was comforting. I might have made myself wait if I knew I was getting one while still in the 1st trimester!

Will they let you come in sooner? I'm seeing an RE, so I have an early ultrasound next week, but I know my OB doesn't schedule you until 10 weeks or so. I guess that is considered normal, but it's hard for those of us who've had losses.

I'm just trying to take it one step at a time. First betas, second betas, making it to 5 weeks, 6 weeks, etc. I've always had early losses (and bad betas in the past), so for me the little milestones make it somewhat easier.

Ugh, sorry, hon. I had mini-milestones to break it up and first tri *still* sucked, so the wait must be even worse for you. I tried to stay as busy as possible with work and non-work activities. DH was very confident which sort of helped and was sort of infuriating. I hope once you do have your ultrasound that you get some peace of mind and the rest of first tri will go faster. But, to be honest, I was acutely aware of each and every day until after my NT scan. Hang in there.

I just got my positive test yesterday. I asked the nurse if I could get hcg tests done. At least I could see if the baby was developing normally for now at least. I am thinking on waiting until next week since I'm only 3 weeks along now.

denise_m · April 2010

I waited until just about 8 weeks for my first u/s. I could have went earlier, but my thought was that if I wait that long, there won't be any limbo time.

It was SOO hard, but I celebrated every day without spotting, every day that I felt pregnant and all of that. By the time it came, it didn't seem like I waited that long
