I have managed to hold it together until today, but now I am a bit of a wreck.
With our loss, we had our first u/s at 8 weeks and we never saw a heartbeat. Growth had stopped at 6w1d. So, to me, ultrasounds mean diagnostic testing or bad news. I can't even wrap my head around what good news would feel like.
I am 6w3d today, and I want to be hopeful (I'm trying!), but pgal brain has definitely set in today. I go in this afternoon, and I will update after that.
*Update*
We have a strong heartbeat!! I am officially further along than I have been.
Today, I am pregnant. Today, I am happy.
Thanks again for your good thoughts.
Sending tons of good vibes your way today - I understand how you feel. You just want a "happy" ultrasound for once, and I don't blame you. Please update us later!
I totally relate. My first u/s is tomorrow. I am trying to stay calm and not let fear eat me alive. Today I am pregnant and I love my baby... repeat. And, there is nothing I can do to change the outcome, it is out of my hands. Those mantra's are the only words keeping me looking ahead. GL today! I will be thinking of you.
I'm so sorry to hear that you are nervous! I completely understand! I went for my first U/S at 6 weeks, 1 day, and I was measuring behind so there was only a gestational sac and yolk sac (so I was freaking out!)...so they had me come in a week later, and sure enough, baby measured on time and there was the beautiful heartbeat! So just don't worry too much (easier said than done, I know) if you don't see everything the first time! Try to stay positive! FX for you, and please update us later:)

Good luck today and just remember that like you all of my previous u/s gave me bad news- so I tried to tell myself that it only takes one to break the pattern! That happened to me after we saw a great heartbeat and then the next u/s also saw a little wiggling gummy bear; so just keep the faith.
Sorry to have not seen this in time to send you lots of good wishes but so glad it all turned out well. Hooray for your LO! Keep on growing, lil' tulip!
