Being paranoid

Reading all of these heartbreaking posts about no HB during an ultrasound is getting to me

according to my LMP, I'm 8w1d. My first ultrasound isn't until Oct 5th, the only appts i have had have just been urine and blood tests. I'm keep freaking myself out that there won't be anything on the monitor. Not "officially" knowing anything is buggin me! Someone tell me I'm just being paranoid! Anyone else relate to this? Lol or am I just being a freak? Haha my DH tells me I'm being a freak all the time. I tell him he's the little shit that got me into this mess in the first place haha

Nope, that's normal. I've had 3 ultrasounds and have heard HB on doppler once and I'm still worried about hearing it at my next appointment in Tuesday. I don't think the worry ever goes away, but you're not alone. Good luck at your appointment!!

You look younger so I'd say there's over a 90% chance your babe is fine (given you have no symptoms of loss - bleeding with cramping). I just read that the most common suggestion from long-lived persons is "worry less". If you do nothing and continue to worry excessively - then I'll call that paranoia. If you do something (request an earlier u/s) or your worry is minimal then I'll call that normal.

I have the same worries too. I think that's what will make us great moms! My 1st appointment isn't until 9 and 1/2 weeks (I'm 6 weeks now) and I am slowly going crazy with the wait.

Not alone this is my first pregnancy and I'm constantly telling myself to calm down, I go to the doctor tomorrow for the first time I'm 6 weeks(I think ) so I still have a a few weeks before a u/s

You will always worry. I am 16 weeks and have an appointment tomorrow and I am still anxious about it even after having an us and hearing a heartbeat with the dopplar. That being said the first wait is the hardest I think. If it helps, while missed miscarriages do happen, they are not common. If you search risk of miscarriage charts you should find one posted that will tell you your risk based on how far along you are. Many people find looking at it very comforting.

I understand your concern; I don't get to see my doctor for the first time until 10/13 (when I will be around 7 1/2 weeks). I am just taking it one day at a time and trying to not worry about it. Deep breaths!

Lurker here - I had my daughter in the UK, where you have a positive test and then u/s at 12-13 weeks. The worry is normal, but as PP said, at lest you'll see something definite, and missed miscarriages are very rare. The feeling of seeing your baby for the first time will be wonderful.

Thank you everyone for the replies

really gave me a somewhat peace of mind to know I'm not the only one who goes crazy with big fat what ifs

I burst into tears at the doctor last night when they couldn't find a heartbeat on the Doppler. Doctor said it was normal but took pity on me and sent me for an ultrasound.. And everything's fine!
So if you're crazy, I'm nuts! Let's be friends

Not alone at all. I am 7weeks and had an u/s today. I saw the heart beat! I am soooo scared of having a miscarriage. Try to relax and rest.

I'm paranoid too. Analyzing every twinge and loss of a symptom. I go tomorrow to schedule a u/s duo who knows how long before I actually get to go in

Hahaha, I was the exact same! But here in Australia, we can take an ultra sound whenever we want and as many times as we want.

I was so paranoid so I got an ultra sound at one month. I could only see the sack at that time. I was still really paranoid that the baby wouldn't actually form etc. So at six weeks I ran back to get an ultra sound. As I laid down on the bed, as the lady put the gell on my stomach, i was in so much doubt. Until i saw that little bean. My baby. It was so surreal! Like i was dreaming! And at that moment, my heart filled up and became whole. Best feeling ever! I can't wait to see my baby and hold him/her in my arms.
