Pregnant after a Loss

Dreading/looking forward to today. Any good thoughts appreciated!

Today is my NT scan.  The last time I had an NT scan I went in all happy and excited to see my baby, and left in shock after learning that he or she was not developing properly and the prognosis was terrible.  It was the beginning of the worst two weeks of my life.

I don't even know how to prepare for the appt this afternoon.  It's been the date I've been aiming for for weeks now - 'if I can just get through the NT scan...' - and now it's here and I just want to bury my head in the sand, plug my ears, and hit fast forward.

I would really appreciate any good thoughts anyone could send my way.  You ladies have helped me so much!  Thank you!

  • Hi, I had a very similar experience last pregnancy.  All started going horribly wrong at the NT scan.  I have mine in 2.5 weeks (could practically tell you how many minutes, too!) and feel the exact same way as you do - just want to get through that so that I can finally enjoy this pregnancy.

    I like what one of the other posters said: this is a different pregnancy.  I've been trying to remind myself of that.  I also have been doing a lot of positive imagery.  I even wrote down on a piece of paper what I want the measurement to be.  Maybe it's all nonsense but I want to put as much positivity out there as I can.  I will send some your way today, hope it all goes great!  Keep us posted!

  • Lots of T&Ps for a good u/s - I always get nervous before u/s and while I love seeing my boy its definitely nerve wracking! Can't wait to hear your very positive update!

  • T&P's to you!

    I have had that happen, so I know how you are feeling - the mixture of excitement and dread is hard!  My u/s tech knew my history so she very quickly assured me there was a heartbeat and was very upbeat/positive as she went along and that helped.

    Good luck!!
