how did it go, Cetara?
I found out with my first pregnancy, that it was a blighted ovum at the ultrasound. So I was really apprehensive when I went to my first ultrasound for this pregnancy too. I was lucky, because I got a dating ultrasound at 8+6 and then my 12wk scan at 12+1. I think that you will be really nervous going in, but just try to enjoy it and think positively. I wouldn't take a bounty pack before I got to see it at my first scan, and then decided to leave it til my 12wk scan anyway.
My midwife has told me that she has no reason to think that this pregnancy won't go smoothly. Just because we have had bad experiences in the past (especially when it's only 1 miscarriage) shouldn't effect our pregnancys now. Although, I know, it's hard to be comforted by that!
