Fear

[Sarahg94]

I am absolutely terrified I'm going to go for my ultrasound and have a blighted ovum or not see a heartbeat! I can't get it off my mind.. And then just when I was calming down this morning because I had good HCG progression I saw someone post on a local mums page that she had a blighted ovum and they had normal HCG levels.. So now I'm freaking out again!

Tell me I'm not the only stress head...

No advice. Just here with you. My HCG was 177,225 today and I still can't stop thinking about a MMC or BO . I hate it

I definitely understand ur fear.
When I get afraid instead of thinking of the 20% chance of MC, I think of the 80% chAnce of a perfectly normal pregnancy ;-)

My dr. just keeps telling me that if my baby is strong and healthy it will be ok, if not and I MC, there is nothing I can do about it and the baby wouldn't have been healthy. Its natures way of keeping everyone healthy.

I get it on a logical level, but it still plays havoc with my emotions.

After suffering a loss due to empty sac myself 3 years ago I completely understand your fear.

Although I had a healthy pregnancy right after that loss, this pregnancy I was going crazy, kinda still am.

In comparison tough, that pregnancy that ended up a loss my HCG did not go above 2000 and instead of rising it was very very slowly going down when I should have been 8 weeks. This time, at 6 weeks my HCG was at 16000 I believe and then a week later I saw a healthy heartbeat and baby.

Even though I've seen my gorgeous baby and heard the heartbeat at 6.5 weeks I am still terrified. It's so horrible just not knowing if all is ok or not. Can't wait till I'm far enough along for a doppler!!

I've had a MMC, and a blighted ovum, in 2013...so that's certainly my fear as well. I do "feel pregnant" though (I didn't with either MC's), and the statistics are in favor of maintaining a pregnancy, so I try to stay positive.
