First appointment jitters/nightmare: UPDATE

edited August 2014 in March 2015 Moms
My first appointment is today and apparently I'm a nervous wreck. I dreamt last night that I was miscarrying. My husband is out of the country on a business trip. Such a scary nightmare to wake up from alone. It's hard because the receptionist already told me there would be no ultrasound so I feel like there won't be any signs for me that things are okay. My logical side of my brain gets that I am pregnant and that I am happy to be pregnant and that I can't control this but my anxious side can't seem to shake these jitters.

Alright. End of my rambling.

(I've failed at the signature thing and need to reread the directions but for reference my EDD based on LMP is March 10)


Update: person on the phone had told me incorrect information. Had an ultrasound and was able to see the baby and the heartbeat (will hear at future appointment). Am feeling much better now. Thanks all!

  • Don't stress out, everything will be fine. They might still do s heart beat check. Good luck and post how it went :)

  • :( I'm sorry, what an unsettling dream! I hope you get some reassurance at your appt - maybe they will try to use the Doppler.
  • Scary baby related dreams suck. They may try to use the doppler to hear the heartbeat. They used it at my 10wk appt earlier this week. To my surprise the doc said if we didn't hear a heartbeat with the doppler that she would roll in the U/S machine. Hopefully you will get some further confirmation to ease your mind.
  • I have had that dream twice, awful...so I was nervous to go too and everything was fine and I'm sure yours will be, too. Good luck!
