Freaking out about my u/s tomorrow

cutebride73 · February 2012

I am just so scared that we are going to get bad news tomorrow. I am terrified. After so long and all of my losses - I just can't seem to stay in a good place in my mind. Plus, my symptoms coming and going is not helping either.

I am not as thirsty anymore, so I am not drinking as much and therefore not having to go to the bathroom as much. I am not as bloated and gassy (sorry TMI) as I was either. My breasts drive me crazy - one day or part of a day - they seem full and firm and sore. Then another day they aren't. They really started to be for like 3 days in a row early last week (and I was so happy) and then they have gone back to on and off again. The veins don't seem as dark and pronounced as they were either.

I did start to feel nauseus mid-week (more than just the little wave I was getting and if I ate went away). I was feeling sick on and off all day, expecially Thursday and Friday. Then yesterday I only felt sick towards the later afternoon. And today nothing yet. I am going insane!!!

I am just remembering back to 2 years ago with my pregnancy that went to almost 8 weeks and I was freaking out Easter weekend that things seemed "off" and then we got bad news at out 2nd u/s. I am so scared we are going to get bad news tomorrow and I am feeling worried just the same. Although, obviously I don't know if this worry is just because of what happened that time or if it's intuition again.

I am just so scared.

Hang in there! We all felt this way, and it is scary not knowing what is going on. I too was symptom (or lack thereof) obsessed leading up to my first big ultrasound at 7 weeks. I was terrified, too, that it was all over, as my only major symptom, breast pain, was waxing and (mostly) waning all the time in the weeks leading up to the ultrasound. I think we all worry whether we have had a prior loss or not, because it was so hard to get here in the first place, and we know about all the things that can go wrong. I guess the only thing I can offer us my understanding and support, and positive thoughts that everything will look perfect tomorrow for you!

Hi,

I really do not have much advice for you, but I wanted to say I just wrote a post just like your post! I understand how you feel. I have a dr appt too tomorrow. I was feeling sick and today, out of nowhere, nothing. I am sure we are both fine and it is just the IF brain taking over! Good luck to you and please post after your appt tomorrow. I would love to hear your positive news! Sorry, I could not offer advice for you.

It's normal to be nervous, even more so with prior losses. But please don't let the worry consume you and make you read too much into things. Try to take it one day at a time. Symptoms come and go constantly and while that will make you question things, it's completely normal to have happen.

I completely understand and I'm the same way but I force myself to block out the negative thoughts and remind myself that this pregnancy is not the same as my previous ones and I cannot live in constant fear that history will repeat itself. Big hugs. I hope your first u/s is wonderful and will alleviate some of your worry. We're rooting for you!

I feel your pain! We have our second u/s tomorrow and I still have little to no symptoms. Hopefully the appointments tomorrow will ease both our minds. Good luck!

IF makes you doubt everything you have ever known.

I hope you get good news at your u/s. We have all been there with the fear and worry.

cutebride73 · February 2012

Thanks ladies. I really appreciate your kind words and good thoughts. I know I am letting IF brain in and I need to stop. You are right, every pregnancy is different and I have no real reason to be worried. I am not having any signs that things are going badly - just symptoms coming and going.

Hopefully, I (and you other ladies with upcoming dr. appts) will get good news to help ease the worry.

allie76 · February 2012

I hope you have a very good appointment tomorrow.

I totally get this. I too get nervous before every u/s and I panic over the lack/change in symptoms.

Like the ladies keep telling myself and others on the board - it is completely normal to feel this way. Especially when dealing with IF. I truly hope that you have a rockin' u/s tomorrow so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your pregnancy. At least for a few days until you mind starts running wild again... if you are like me.

In all seriousness though - good luck tomorrow. I will be watching for your post to tell us how it went!

I don't have any advice, but I wanted to wish you luck tomorrow. Smile

Good luck tomorrow! It is totally normal to be nervous (and I can completely understand it being even more nervewracking in your situation as well) but stay positive! I hope everything turns out great! Keep us posted!

I am sorry that you are so worried. I hope everything goes well tomorrow with your ultrasound and that it helps ease your mind. (((hugs)))

Oh hun, it's normal for us IF gals to freak out before our u/s. Both DH and I would freak out before our u/s, and everything would turn out fine. I hope it does for you too!!!

Sometimes it's just so hard to believe that this is actually happening. That things are actually going well!

Good luck!!

Just want to chime in and say that I wrote this very same post before my first u/s, before my second u/s, and then AGAIN before my first OB appt this past Thursday. It's only NOW that I'm starting to think things *might* go ok, but I know I'll *still* be nervous for the scan I'm having this Tuesday. Once you've had a loss--and you've had WAY more than your fair share, and I'm so sorry--things are never, ever the same. But you will be ok, no matter what, and I am hoping for all good things for you tomorrow!

It is totally normal to feel the way you do when you go through IF. I think that we've all felt this way. GL at your u/s tomorrow. I'll be looking for your update!

TJ1979 · February 2012

I'm so sorry hon. I've been there too, I know the exact fear you have, and the wondering of whether it's intuition or just fear. GL at your appt, please let us know. We're all rooting for you and your LO.
