4 week wait until my first ultrasound...MMC 4 months ago

[Jlud]

I swear, ever since the nurse scheduled my ultrasound appt, the days have seemed to be dragging...I'm not a very patient person by nature anyway But as long as I continue to feel a bit of the symptoms I have, I think I'll be ok. I remember with my last pregnancy, I kind of "knew" something wasn't right, because my stomach wasn't growing as it should, and I stopped being hungry and tired like I usually felt when pregnant. I just felt "normal," at 10 and 1/2 weeks. But I was just praying that it was only because I was nearing the second trimester...nope That first ultrasound was like a nightmare that I wanted to wake up from. I'll never forget the image on the screen and the way it made me ( and my husband) feel. My husband is a soldier in the Army, and seeing him cry, was heart-shattering. The baby was only measuring 8w5d, with no heartbeat. I'm praying that it doesn't happen again. So I am petrified to go for my first ultrasound for this pregnancy on September 5. But, for some reason, I can't help but be excited at the same time. Hope is a wonderful thing

I don't know if the fear every really goes away. And for someone who's experienced a loss (or multiple), waiting that long for a scan does feel like for every. Fingers crossed for you that the waiting isn't so long!

Hi there,

I'm feeling exactly the same hun. I also had a mmc 5 months ago and now have to wait 6 weeks until my scan as over here in the uk they don't do early scans unless you have pain or bleeding or have had 3 miscarriages. My little nugget passed at 11 weeks, just before I was able to see her. Now I am dreading my 12 week scan but at the same time I can't wait until its here!! I still can't really believe that I will actually have a baby in 7/8 months, and I don't think I will be able to accept it until I see my baby wriggling away on that screen.

It's hard to stay positive but the way I see it is that a mmc would usually be caused by something that can't be prevented, if I were the problem then my body would have recognised the problem and miscarried naturally. So I'm hoping that as that was my first pregnancy that it was just one of those unfortunate things and that this little baby is my rainbow.

Sending you lots of sticky

We must try to focus on the good, and not the "what if's"...although it's so hard not to think, or over think, the situation. Just sit back and wait, and enjoy life as much as possible! Praying for a H&H 9 months and beyond for all of us preggos'

I know how your feeling. I lost my little boy at 21 weeks( my water broke the day of my ultrasound) I even have the same date for this time around. I feel like its taking forever to get here. but at the same time im kinda worried. But just cant help to be excited. Hope all goes well and you will let us know.

My apologies, I just saw your ticker says 17 weeks, that's great! I pray your baby stays safely where he/she is, until it is safely time to come out into the world

I feel for you, too!! I had my first MMC at 10 weeks last November (my 6th m/c at the time), and then shortly after a totally unforeseen ectopic that ruptured my tube. I am pretty much demanding an u/s when I go in for my appointment, but the earliest they could see me is the 23rd, which feels like forever away considering my complications (I also need my medication re-dosed for pregnancy and some other things), but I'll only be 5.5 weeks so it's still really early.

Early pregnancy is never a peaceful time. Ever!

I agree, it's not a peaceful time at all I'm so sorry you've gone through so many miscarriages. I wish that once a pregnancy started, it was definite, with no miscarrying or still birth or any abnormalities at all. Ahhh wishful thinking eh? I'll be praying for a healthy pregnancy for you!

 

[elohcin]

Thank you! I need all the prayers I can get.
