due 4th jan. need a friend

Well tomorrow morning is my first scan...trying really hard not to panic but its not working out too well. I guess I am still i the expect the worst hope for the best mentality. Last night when I got off work (I work in a bar so I usually get home pretty late) it all started to hit me, what if this is the one, what if this one sticks, what if we finally get to have a child. Man o man it was overwhelming and I am trying to reel myself back Before Getting too excited just yet!

Wylde-that's how I felt when I made it to 10 weeks with my 4th pg. Having mc 3 times previously, I couldn't believe it was actually happening and didn't believe it until the end. It ended at 37+1 when my son was born full-term. Since then I've had more mc but I've had another child (my daughter) and I'm now 11+3 according to the ultrasound I had done last week. Since I haven't mc this late into a pg, it's hard not to feel that hope blooming more each day. Once it hits, it's hard to go back to the apathetic, "afraid to care cuz it'll jinx it" feeling. I've got my fingers crossed that this time you'll get a good ultrasound result! (And for extra luck, I even wished on a four leaf clover I found that we'll all have happy, healthy babies! )

The scan came back good! Baby is measuring right on track at 6w1d with a good heart beat of 117 (my dr told me not to stress about the low # so I'm not). They are having me come back in 3 weeks for a "peace of mind" ultrasound. I feel slightly better but not great just yet. I am slightly embarrassed, I cried the whole time and couldn't stop but I guess that's normal.

Thank you all for your support!

Yay!!! The important thing is you saw your baby and you know there's a heartbeat. That little flicker is the most amazing thing, isn't it? Just gives you so much peace! I always feel better knowing there's a hb because as long as there's a little hb, there's a huge amount of hope. I'm feeling REALLY good about this one, Wylde!

Has anyone had any pregnancy symptoms disappear? I was having really bad exhaustion and nausea and now I feel completely normal, like I'm not even pregnant anymore. I keep trying to justify it by making excuses... Like my body is getting used to not having caffeine, or I'm eating a little more and keeping my stomach calm... My next scan is in two weeks and I feel like all the relief I got from the first one last week is gone.

Wylde-my sypmtoms have been disappearing since 7 weeks. It could be your hormones are settling down or stress could be causing you to not notice your symptoms. Both have happened to me. Also, I've never had my symptoms just stop before a mc. I've always had symptoms right up until I start bleeding, though not everyone isn't like that. As hard as it is, try not to worry too much (and I know how much you probably hate hearing that because I always hate hearing it too but it's true) but if you are super concerned, can you call your doctor and get some labs done to check your hormone levels or maybe get your u/s date moved up?

 

[dairymomma]

Good luck, lots of prayers and happy thoughts being sent your way, and plenty of .

 

[Wyldemomma]

Thank you dairy! I know I need to relax BUT it's hard, but I try. I'm leaving for vacation today so I hope that helps take my mind off things

 

[dairymomma]

Hope so. Stress isn't good for momma or bean so take it easy, put your feet up, and just try to enjoy your break. Have fun and just breathe!
