Too early to feel positive?

[Hopefulk]

Hi ladies

I posted on here when I found out I was pregnant but have avoided the site for a few weeks... Been trying to avoid the reality of being pregnant in case my heart was broken again.

I've had 3 scans now. No hb at the first, one on 16.04 where fetal pole measured 6+3 but I didn't feel attached and one yesterday where he/she measured 8+6.

We've never had a pregnancy develop this far before so it was a relief. I'm still nervous but consultant said "all looks good. Would be very unlucky if it went wrong now but can't guarantee anything and can relax after next scan" (10th may)

I'm feeling positive... I'm now worried I'm being naive!

How is everybody else doing? Anybody feeling the same?

Hope you're all doing well.xxx

hi hun, congrats on your pregnancy!! i know how scary it is getting that positive test and then the worry starts. all i can say hun is take each day as it comes and keep positive because hope is an amazing thing! i had early scans like you and i didnt feel attached to the baby at all because of my history.... to be honest its taken until now to form a bond i was so scared of getting my heart broken. at every scan i expected them to tell me something was wrong or the baby's heart wasnt beating. but they didnt and regardless of all the times i was convinced this baby wouldnt make it he held on!! im 32 weeks now and i never dreamed id get here but i have and you will too.

you will have days where your just gonna go mad thinking all sorts and days where you'll hardly believe its happening but take each day as a blessing and dont ever be afraid to call your doctor or midwife if you need reassurance thats what they are there for!

i wish you all the luck and happiness in the world for a healthy 9 months xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Congrats on your pregnancy! I dont have any kids yet, and have had 2 miscarriages. I honestly didnt let myself get excited for weeks. I didnt want to even try to get excited, because of the last losses. I am 9w2d now, which is almost at the point where it all went wrong last time. I just feel like its going to work with this baby. I've had 1 scan at 5w3d and another at 7w4d. Everything looks fine, but its normal for us to "guard" our hearts and not get too excited. I'm waiting to get full-blown excited until the 2nd trimester, then I can breathe again lol. I have an appointment on May 10th also, my midwife is going to attempt to hear the heartbeat. Its best to stay positive, I find myself living from scan to scan and trying not to look too far ahead. Goodluck & let us know how your appointment goes!

Thank you both and congratulations on your pregnancies! Jojo I cannot wait to be 33 weeks! I hope you are enjoying pregnancy now.

Britty... We are the same gestation as well as both having apt on 10th - are you having a scan too? Please let me know how it goes!

Xx

nothing wrong with being positive! the alternative is worried and miserable and that doesn't help anyone. I'm a few days behind you (scan on Sat) and am fairly chipper as worry won't change anything. Congratulations and good luck!

Congrats Hopefulk on your pregnancy! It's great that you have come this far. I am now at 19+5 and I still have panicy moments. It does get a little bit easier to relax and enjoy the pregnancy. I couldn't relax through the first tri. Every time I went to the toilet I inspected the toilet paper, my pants, inside the toilet. Every gas pain made my heart stop. I avoided b&b totally until second tri. Now it is such a relief that i can feel her kick and move. I thought I would never make it this far, and I did. And I know you can too. Good luck at your scan. After you get your good news, take yourself and LO out to celebrate at Baskin Robbins.

One thing I have learned guys, Don't stop yourself feeling excited. I had a MC at 11 weeks with my first and when I fell pregnant this time I wasted up until 12 weeks not being excited and feeling detatched. The worry doesn't go away but you can still enjoy it

Hi

Sorry... Was rambling! Hahaha!

Yes - saw a heartbeat at scan measuring 8+6. Consultant is positive but "can't guarantee" and says we can relax after our next scan if still growing and showing a heartbeat.

Good luck to you all and congratulations!

So glad I have found this post!

We suffered a MMC in October 2010 and despite trying religiously naturally and with clomid - confirmed ovulation every month we never got lucky until this last cycle. I am so scared that things will go wrong and we are going to be almost 30 by the next time we manage to fall pregnant again

First scan we were measuring almost a week behind my confirmed ovulation, second scan they told me I was only 5 weeks (ovulation dates put me at 7) but then I found out that as there was a foetal pole it was impossible to only be 5 weeks as it doesn't start forming until 6 weeks We have a scan on 14th May where I will be 9 weeks according to ovulation so this is pretty much our viability scan.

I am so scared that things aren't going to pan out properly and worried about getting my hopes up. Such a roller-coaster of emotions

I can relate to all you ladies, and I'm so glad I'm not the only one feeling this way! I had an early miscarriage last January and found out that I'm expecting again. I'm not quite 6 weeks yet, which is where I was when I miscarried last time. My beta/prog levels look amazing (and they didn't look good from the start last time) according to my doctor and she is very optimistic. I just can't share her enthusiasm yet. Hopefully the scan next week will show great news!

Hopefulk!

How did your appointment go today?? We heard a very clear heartbeat & I cried lol. This is the furthest I have made it. My midwife is also moving my dates, so instead of 10w3d (like I thought) - I am now 11w2d. Now I am due November 27th instead of December 3rd, and I have another appointment in 2 weeks to checkup on things. Let me know how yours went!

Eeeeeeee! So excited for you!

Had another scan yesterday and bubbaloo not only had a heartbeat and had grown perfectly but gave us a little wave!

Have another scan on 22nd when I should be 12 weeks... Can't wait (although I know the nerves will kick in closer to te time!)

Keep us updated!
