hi guys
i really need some support. I had a full molar pregnancy back in 2003, recieved follow up after my D and C and was given the all clear in 2005.
I am now 7 weeks pregnant for the first time since my molar and am so scared. i cry all the time and am so scared that it will happen again. I have been to see my doctor today and im booked in for an early scan next wednesday to see if there is a heartbeat.
We have been TTC for 2 months and i didnt think i would be so scared as i know its a rare for them to reoccur im just so paralysed by the fear of going next wednesday and my baby having no heart beat.
My OH keeps reassuring me that everything is going to be fine but i just dont know what to do. I was tempted to pay for a private scan so i can see if theres a heartbeat sooner (next wednesday feels like a lifetime away) but my gp told me that becuse babies dont get a heartbeat til about 5-6 weeks i need to wait abit longer.
Any support, advice would be greatly appreciated

hey, i'm sure you'll be fine, i bet you don't even have any molar symptoms either? usually they get diagnosed because there's something wrong and people have gone for an early scan, it's so rare for it to happen again, it really is.
I am however one of the extremely rare ones , i had 2 partial molars, which is why i know there are usually some symptoms, so i really, really wouldn't worry, (i know easier said than done!) Even i'm not too worried about another molar for me next time, after my 2,the odds are still firmly stacked in my favour.
Try not to let it take from your joy at being pregnant again, at the end of the day can't control it, and worrying about what may or may not be, will only stress you out, i would just try to take everything as positive and presume all is well until told otherwise.
Just think, you'll probably look back on this time, and wonder why you did that to yourself, when all was fine!
Enjoy and get excited, try and make a concious decision not to think negatively(i know how hard and scary that is) but you'll feel better if you do!
