in Pregnant after a Loss

Hi girls!  We have been TTC #2 for a year now, and after multiple CP's and an early loss we have a HB!  On Monday we measured 6w2d and saw the heart flickering away at 117bpm. This u/s was with my RE and he will see me again in 2 weeks.  My OB has been so supportive and helpful throughout my journey so she wants to see me on Tuesday.  So pretty much I will be getting an u/s every week for a few weeks and I am not complaining!  But after feeling so much relief on Monday I am already getting anxious again that something has happened.  Seriously??  I can't even go one week without worrying Embarrassed

How are you girls staying calm/positive between appointments?  I can't wait until we are far enough along to get a home doppler.  With DS we heard it at 9.5 weeks, so just 2.5 more weeks to go!!  That will help, I hope.

Thanks, hopefully I will get to stick around this time!

    I don't stay calm between appointments. Up until my 1st appt, the m/s made me feel more confident, but that has tapered off significantly.  I had some cramping last week and over the weekend so I called the doctor to go in on wednesday to check for he heartbeat... and I'm already worried again. I'm going to stick it out until my next appt on the 21st (how am I going to make it 11 days?)  and not freak out and call the doctor again. Unless I start bleeding, then I will be in the ER in a heartbeat.

    Congratulations!  I had appts and u/s every week until 20 weeks with the pregnancy and I didn't stop worrying in between appts until I started feeling him move.  It stinks but I think it's just reality.  The doppler did help, unless I couldn't find the heartbeat, then I panicked!  But, I eventually did find it:)


    I hope the next few weeks fly so that you feel a bit at ease!
