NT scan tomorrow - may die of stress

in Pregnant after IF

If I could stand the taste of my nails, I'd be chewing the heck out of them right now.

My NT scan is tomorrow, I just realized I don't know what time, and I'm just all kinds of freaked out because I'm worried about a missed m/c. And I think if I lose another baby this year I'll have a nervous breakdown.

And I get that there's like a 10% chance of m/c (I don't know how much lower it is since there's been no signs or bleeding), but really, I'm afraid that I'll go in, the baby will be dead, and they'll have to commit me to a psych ward or something. Not that I'm on the verge of insanity now, but with everything that's happened this year (pregnancy complications, delayed-interval delivery with neonatal death, months of NICU, surprise BFP), I'm just not sure if I can trust myself to stay on the sane boat.

Comfort, anyone?

    I think it is totally understandable to be stressed about tomorrow, especially given everything you have been through.  Big hugs an I hope you get great news tomorrow.

    I have mine on Thursday and I am so just wanting the day to be here.  I was mostly excited but now I am freaking out as well.  We went to our OB yesterday (11W5D) and he warned me that it was early and he would try to find the heartbeat so we could hear it but not to freak out if they couldn't.  Of course he couldn't find the heartbeat so that is all I can think about.  Having 2 miscarriages in the past year has me a bit on edge. Even though I am still sick and I am pretty sure I had RLP yesterday. Nothing can convince me everything is okay until I see that the baby is healthy at the NT.  I am probably not good on the comfort except I totally understand what you're going through.  Hope everything goes great!

    (((((hugs)))))

    FWIW, I was scared of exactly the same thing at my NT scan. Especially since it happened to me before (see siggy). I was a nervous wreck, and when the u/s tech had me on the table and started the exam, I kept asking, "Is everything alright? Is everything alright?" She was like, "I have to do the measurements first." She totally didn't realize that I was asking if the baby was still alive! My husband explained to her what I meant, and when she showed us the moving baby on the screen I burst into tears.

    Sending tons of T&Ps that your NT scan goes perfectly :)
