First Time Mom - Nervous

Hello Ladies!
I'm high risk because of weight, possible cervix issues, and originally conceiving twins via IUI.....
I am due July 31st. I am 11w 4days pregnant. We conceived via IUI. At 6weeks we had our first US, Twins and heard heartbeat of one!! So excited and nervous of course. 7 week ultrasound, we still had 2 babies. 1 was a week behind but heard a heart beat for both. Baby B's was significantly weaker. We were discharged from fertility clinic and sent back to my regular OB.
Nervous about smaller baby, told may lose it. I went back to my OB. He says "nothing you can do just wait and see." Wrote a script for BW and another US and said be doesn't deliver babies. I need to find a different doctor to deliver.
Find a new group. They assure me they handle high risk. Make an appt. I get my next US at 9weeks. Baby A doing great! Measuring right on target. Baby B, sac is empty. Baby is gone. Sad news but happy cause we still has a healthy baby.
Tell new doctor all about this. Baby B beig gone and what not. They send me for ANOTHER US. 10week US baby B still gone, sac still there measuring 6 weeks but empty. Baby A is moving around and all good. Strong heart rate at 170bpm, and right on target.
The next day, new doctor calls. The hospital they have rights to isnt equipped for someone as high risk as me. I need to find a new doctor.
Call another place. They assure me they can care for me, as I cry on the phone about being dumped. Can't get an appt until 3 weeks later.
Week 11, see brown discharge, very light. Insert PANIC mode and frantic googling.
Call new doctor I have yet to meet. They say go to ER. 7 hours in the ER later, another US, baby is moving all over the place, measuring 11 weeks 4 days with a heart beat of 168. All is well in the world. Baby B's sac is still there. They suggestion my light spotting is due to baby b's sac.
Look at the report after I leave. Gestational sac is measuring small, 9weeks 4days. The doctor did not mention this. So trying not to get worked up as the baby was moving but didnt seem distressed. More like "hey look I got a foot and it moves" and "what's this, oh a face" as its habd went over the face. So trying not to stress and holding out for my appt on the 26th
Anyone had a similar experience?

Re: First Time Mom - Nervous
good luck!
They said they couldnt see me before the 26th as I am a new patient. I have had no symptoms of pregnancy (well I mean besides seeing a fetus on the US). I have had no morning sickness. I don't feel pregnant or I should say I don't feel different. Which does not help my anxiety. Since its my first time ever being pregnant.
Today however, marks week 13 and official start of 2nd trimester. So I'm hoping most risks of loss are now behind me.
How are you ladies doing?
