Second early scan tomorrow @ 6/7 weeks

[bther]

I've got my second early scan tomorrow morning (in 24 hours) and I am so nervous. I had one two weeks ago to rule out an ectopic - my doctor was concerned it could be as I was on the pill and getting one sided pain. At the scan the sac was in my uterus but as I was only 4/5 weeks that was the only thing they saw. So now they want me back tomorrow to check growth and viability I guess. I am so nervous - I have read about blighted ovums and missed miscarriages over these past two weeks a little too much. Although my symptoms (nausea, tiredness, food aversions, sense of smell, occasional tingly boobs) have gotten worse I know that doesn't necessarily mean everything is going to be okay.

I can't help but compare this pregnancy to when I was carrying my son. I remember early on if I 'O'ed I had pretty bad cramps - now I can feel my uterus contracting but it's not painful. Also I was really sick with him, I'm not as sick now. Also cramps, I remember feeling crampy all the time but now I get the odd cramp and only that round ligament pain if I stand up too quickly.

I just want a bit of reassurance & positive thoughts as I'm driving myself bananas. This next 24 hours are going to feel like another 2 weeks!!

Bther… I went through this exact same thing in my last pregnancy, if you were to click back in my history on this website I was writing the exact same posts as you. I had a scan at 5 weeks, I think my checkup scan was actually at 7weeks3days also. I remember throwing up being so nervous incase there wasn’t a heartbeat. There was though and this will happen for you, you will be OK and baby will be there don’t worry too much with the symptoms.. with my first I hardly had any symptoms I would of never known I was pregnant but this time it is torture It probably just this pregnancy is different.. I hope all goes well even though I know you will be fine xxxx

Good Luck Tomorrow! 4/5 weeks is super early to see anything and I'm sure tomorrow you'll see your little baby.

If your symptoms are getting worse I'd be positive your scan will be grand!
