My husband and I just found out we're pregnant. We experienced a miscarriage in November of last year and I am absolutely TERRIFIED to go to the doctor in June. It's hard to be excited about such a joyful thing when focusing on the last u/s we had. Anyone else experiencing this or have any suggestions?
Re: Just found out... Scared...
I know how you feel, completely. We had a miscarriage in January. Everyday gets a little more believable.
This times 3...it's so hard to be excited and to enjoy being pregnant but I just keep telling myself I am pregnant today. I pray each day that this little one will make it to December...
All you can do is take care of yourself and take it one day at a time.
I can empathize completely. I had a m/c this past September and I have been sick to my stomach over the anxiousness for my upcoming u/s with this pregnancy which is on Tuesday. I am absolutely terrified.
I don't really have much in the way of suggestions. Just try and hang in there and believe that everything is going to be OK. Maybe you can ask your dr for an early u/s when you are 6-7 weeks to see the baby.
This exactly. It's hard to get excited this early on when you've suffered miscarriage, but I'm trying to stay hopeful and just take it one step at a time. I second the PP suggestion of trying to get an early u/s after 6 weeks, rather than waiting 8-10 weeks for a first appointment.
The third time was the charm!
