Early scan next week - half excited half terrified**update** Good News :)

[sarasparra]

Hello,

I've not posted on here for a while as been trying to distract myself from the fact that I'm pregnant again as finding it so nerve wracking this time around.

We have an early scan on Tuesday and I just feel so nervous about it. I'm trying so hard to focus on the positive and think that we're going to see a healthy baby with heartbeat but can't forget how awful it was last time.

We found out about my MMC at an early scan last September and there were no indicators that anything was wrong before that so I can't even relax with my pregnancy symptoms.

I'm not even really sure why I'm posting this - just getting it off my chest I guess and hoping for a bit of support before Tuesday

Know exactly how you feel, I'm in the same position. Keeping my fingers crossed you see a lovely wee heartbeat at your scan xx

been there with my first pregnancy (mc at 7-8 wks), so when I became pregnant again, was terrified as well -- we had a scan at 9wks (too superstitious around previous date) and with my OH holding my hand, we saw a baby! I burst into tears, but so far, baby is fine -- and you will continue to worry throughout your pregnancy, but try and take it one day/one hour at a time....

is your OH, mum, somebody coming with you?

best wishes

I understand how you must be feeling, I had a mmc last year and the thought of a scan is so scary.

Will be keeping everything crossed for you on Tuesday hun, I know nothing we can say will stop the worry but chances are everything will be ok, sending positive thoughts and hugs

I was just about tom make a thread when i saw yours my fear is exactly the same x I have my scan on fri x I found out in June I had a mmc I was totally shocked my symptoms were great I never for one min thought anything was wrong x when they scanned me an I saw the empty sac I knew straight away it was over before she even said anything x

I have every possible senario going through my head it's horrible x

My question was going to be should in ask to see screen straight away or ask her to look first? Really unsure xxx

I'm sure we will both be fine gl for tues x

Mine was a very similar experience, I had raging morning sickness, bloating, sore boobs etc so to go to a scan and be told that the baby had died was such a shock. It's hard because this time round too my morning sickness etc doesn't make me feel any better - when I had my DD I found it really reassuring.

I hadn't even thought about whether to look at the screen etc, I think I would have to as am so nosey. We're having a private scan anyway so I think that there is a big flat screen on the wall which shows the pictures so there's not much chance of avoiding it anyway. Just do whatever feels right at the time I guess. It is hard to see the screen and know that something is wrong, I said it before the sonographer last time as I could see that the baby wasn't right.

I'll let you know how Tuesday goes and will keep my fingers crossed for Friday for you.

Thank you Hopefully we can follow each other through our healthy pregnancies!
I agree that every scan will have mixed emotions from here onwards but just trying to remain positive and only 24 hours to go for me as my scan is at 10.00 tomorrow. Good luck for your scan xx

Well am back from my scan and it is all good news!!

So excited and relieved. The baby looks good, measuring 8 weeks 5 days so bang on for size and a good healthy heartbeat of 178bpm so all looking good. I cried through a lot of it, was just so nervous after last time but trying to relax a little now and enjoy it until our next scan.

Will post a piccie a bit later when I get a chance.
