scan on wed - terrified :(

[nabo86]

hi

i'm going for a scan on wednesday - i'll be 10+5 and it will be the 3rd scan i've had this pregnancy. both of the other scans were fine and showed a healthy baby with a strong heartbeat but this one is scaring me most.

i had a missed miscarriage in May this year. there had been no signs that there was anything wrong - the baby had stopped growing at 9 weeks - we had no idea if that baby had ever even had a heartbeat...

i think that is why i am so scared of this scan - my first two scans were at 7 and 8 weeks - this scan is after the dreaded 9 weeks where things had gone wrong last time without me knowing and i'm scared they have gone wrong again.

i know there isn't much anyone can say at the minute - i'm finding things difficult to talk about with my DH as my old due date was last friday and i've just been in a funny mood for days. he knows i am scared and he is trying his best to support me but nothing he says makes me feel any better. the only thing that will help is if my baby is ok on Wednesday.

thanks for reading - i just needed somewhere to say what is going through my mind...

It's sounds like everything is going great for you so far! I'll keep my fingers crossed for your scan

I'm sure everything will be fine it's natural to be worried. Good luck to you xxx

I can completely understand where you are coming from. I had a mmc in April this year. We had gone for the first appointment at 8 weeks and everything seemed fine and there was a heartbeat, but when we went back for the 12 week appointment the baby had no heartbeat. They said that the baby had passed between 9-10 weeks. I am now pregnant again and while everything was okay at the 12 week appointment this time, I am not terrified between each appointment because my body didn't show any sign of loss with the miscarriage. I go for our 16 week appointment this Wednesday & I am a tad nervous.

I am sure everything is going wonderfully well with you and this baby! Keep us updated!

had my scan today - everything looked great

we got some great 3D pics and baby had grown at the right rate etc

I have my 12 week scan next friday but i'm not feeling anywhere near as nervous now - will still be a bit worried but i think i always will be!

thanks for the support

Yay for the happy scan! Sounds like its all perfect Hun. Stats that I have read on a study of women who had previous losses is, once they see a HB at the 10wk mark, the success rate is OVER 99%. Got to be happy with those stats. X
