@altmom, congrats on being cancer free!!:) I'm sure everything will go just fine stay positive! don't worry till you have a reason too, that's what I have to tell myself anyways lol

Oh well that's good news then! :)

@jacesterlingsmommy, my doctor said it was what he considers a bad luck tumor. No real cause, and it never spread so he feels confident it won't come back. It was also in my jaw so I don't feel like I would be high risk

How far along are you @altmom ? Amazing news that you're cancer free. However should you see a regular ob? Does it make you more high risk? I kept having bad feelings too. My first baby also and only a month prior I had miscarried and surprisingly got pregnant the next month, so I was pretty worried. Honestly I still do worry and am almost 20 weeks. I guess us mom's will just stress until we finally get to hold our babies. Best of luck!

@jacesterlingsmommy, glad to hear everything is going well!!! @paige1212 yeah I had 2 perfect pregnancies so far and for some reason I'm just so afraid things won't be so perfect this time around. Not to mention I just got told in November that I'm cancer free so it's a little nerve wracking!! I'm definitely going to look into that blood test though!!!

@altmom, I'm just too scared all the time as it's my first and I honestly think I'd be this worried even if it wasn't my first since every pregnancy is different, lol its definitely a peace of mind seeing baby, hearing the heartbeat is amazing but both just made me feel 100 times better. i stressed like a mad woman everyday till my 20 week ultrasound lol I had a blood test at 10 weeks that was supposed to show any abnormalities and tells the sex if you have that option I definitely would do it just because it makes you feel better while waiting for an ultrasound lol

When I had my first appointment at 8 weeks with my doctor she automatically schedules an ultrasound for dating purposes. I paid out of pocket at 13 weeks to find out the gender because she won't do another until 20 weeks. The private places around here won't do ultrasounds until 13-15 weeks. I was very nervous too until my 12 week mark but I haven't had any complications so far and everything is perfect.

That sounds about right I only had 2 US with my other kids @paige1212 but I also wasn't with a midwife... I guess I'll just have to talk to her and find out her procedures but I'd definitely like to know that everything is going smoothly

I had one at 6 weeks to determine how far along I was because I had nooo idea and my next one wasn't until 20 weeks for AS.. I love going with a midwife but I wish I saw my baby more..

you won't get an ultrasound at 8 weeks unless u have a high risk pregnancy
