Scan worries

[Mynxie]

Some of the old timers on the forum may remember, my 2nd pregnancy I found out I'd MC'd at the scan. MMC.

I feel much different this time, symptoms so strong and was really dark and came up straight away before it even hit the control line! - That'd never happened to me before. I also found out at 6+3 and in the past, have usually MCd by then.

Doc didn't refer me to the EPU (disappointing) so I'm paying for a private scan this week. I'll be 8 weeks. So long as I hear/see a heartbeat I'm happy, I'll be calmer etc etc.

Part of me is just so scared that the same is going to happen again. Don't get me wrong, symptoms have usually started to calm by now when I've MCd, so I'm feeling confident that this one is gonna work out and stay put for another 30 or so weeks, but part of me still worries that history will repeat - hence not waiting for the 12 week scan (usually 13 here tbh).

Anyone else "been there", so to speak?

Oh yes. That feeling of excitement, fear, anxiety, dread, anticipation, all wrapped up into one. I know it well. I pray you get to see that little beating heart and it fills you with calm and happiness.

Yup. After 2 chemical pregnancies going to a scan at 5 weeks and being told there was nothing at all there was horrific. And then they made me wait 2 weeks before rescanning me despite bleeding inbetween. Even my doctor couldn't shift the EPU's decision to make me wait 2 weeks!

It gets a little better when you get past your 12 week scan but I'm still constantly worried my little man will be taken away. Viable in 7 days, really need to make it there!

Thanks ladies.

Just wish it was Thursday evening already to be honest.

The morning sickness is reassuring me though, which is nice - along with all of the other symptoms.

Can't believe that in hopefully about 30ish weeks, I'll be having a baby. Sincerely want this so much. 7 years, 3 MCs, hoping with all that I am, that baby #4 is the one that we get to meet and bring up. More than anything in the world.

Feel confident and stay positive. This is all a good sign!
