Dating u/s tomorrow but nervous

[dairymomma]

I have a history of spotting during pregnancy and 8 times out of 11 (so far) the spotting has ended in miscarriage. Since I've been spotting since last Thursday, I'm nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs and mouse traps whenever I think about my dating ultrasound tomorrow morning. This bfp came 5 weeks (and no AF) after my last miscarriage and that, combined with the fact that I've NEVER spotted this early with a pregnancy, makes me extra nervous. Feeling really REALLY sick and tired right now but aching lower back and faint pinkish brown cm all day makes me fear the worst. Especially since I have another health issue going on that can explain the sickness and the fatigue.

So nervous the tech will tell me, "I'm sorry. There's no hb." tomorrow. I know I'm only six weeks but last Thursday my hCG was almost 1900 and I know it's risen since then because I got a 3+ on a digi on Monday. The 3+ threshold is over 2000 so I know I've got to be over that at least.

Sorry. The girls in the PAL thread have been hearing this for the last week and I'm probably driving them crazy. But my therapist (I've had anxiety attacks because of this situation.) said to get it out otherwise I'll just get anxious again. So I'm ranting here in hopes that I'll get some kind words and encouragement to help counteract my fears.

for the best, fearing the worst, and expecting something in between...

thanks in advance.

Dairy momma you're not driving us crazy, this is what we're here for. I'm not surprised your nervous but so far nothing's happened that means it won't be good news. Don't meet trouble halfway x you've just got to get through til tomorrow to know for sure and you know what? If it's bad news you WILL cope.
What times your scan? Xx

Thanks as always, Munchkin. And you were right. Things were fine. It's hard to think that though when you are so stressed out and dealing with a situation that normally (for me anyway) ends sadly. And yes, I've coped before and I know I could have coped again but sometimes I just need to be reminded.

By the way, my own little munchkin is doing fine. Measuring on schedule and nice strong flickering hb.
