the waiting

in 1st Trimester
If you ask my husband he would tell you I am not the most patient person and somewhat of a pessimist. So here I am...had two perfect u/s one at six weeks one at eight. Saw heartbeat both times and I'm obsessing about something going wrong between now and my 12 week appointment. I'm aware there's no safe stage of pregnancy and there's really nothing I can do about it but that hasn't stopped my mind from picking apart every single symptom. Is there anyone else riding the crazy train? I'm really trying my best to keep busy and not think about it.

    I am right there with you.  I just had my 1st trimester screening two days ago and the doctors said the baby is perfect.  I am still a bit nervous!

    I too am riding the crazy train :/ ... I have no patience at all! We had an ultrasound at 6 weeks and everything looked fine, saw a little flickering heartbeat and the ultrasound tech said "honey, you are going to have to find something else to worry about like what color to paint the nursery". well that was very nice but I know there are no guarantees! Now we finally go back next week and I am crossing my fingers they do another ultrasound because I cannot wait any longer! I feel like week six was a year ago ...

    You are not alone!

    All aboard.... I have a ticket on the crazy train, and I am riding front and center.

    I don't remember being paranoid about any and everything until I was in my 2nd tri. This time, it was instantaneous. We bought a doppler at 8w, and I was obsessed with finding the heartbeat, EVEN THOUGH I saw the heartbeat on an u/s.

    I'm on the crazy train with ya! I too had a wonderful u/s at 6 weeks and then again this past Monday but in my mind I feel I'll be a little "safer" after the 12 week mark.  I'm trying not to obsess about things but I I am a worrier!

    I understand that you are nervous, but at my office we don't get an ultrasound until 20 weeks.   I won't even get a chance to hear the heartbeat until I'm almost 12 weeks.   Yes thing can go wrong, but at least you have some assurance that everything is okay. 
    But three things remain: faith, hope and love; the greatest of these is love. Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker BabyFruit Ticker

    Count me in too.  I had an early ultrasound at 5.5 weeks.  RE said i'm measuring perfectly and everything looks completely normal.  I go back at 6.5 weeks to try to see the hearbeat... i'm freaking out worrying that it won't be there.  I'm cramping a bit and am totally obsessing right now. 

     To make matters worse, 2 months ago i had a m/c at 6.5 weeks.  I really hope that I calm down once I get past that point... but I doubt that's gonna happen!
