Ultrasound
Is anyone else not excited about their ultrasound, just nervous? At every ultrasound I've had my doctor has told me that my baby died. I don't think I can handle that again for a fourth time. My first ultrasound is August 9th. I hate that I can't feel excited.
I have had two MMC's, first US saw the heartbeats and everything was perfect, the second US both times no HB.
I totally get that fear.
I'm trying really hard to remind myself that each pregnancy is different and I can't hold the past with me in fear of the future.
I'm hopeful and I know my strength from my previous losses.
I'm excited and nervous for the first US. It's on 8/1. I feel like confirmation one way or the other does hold a sense of comfort.
I think the worry in between the US is way worse for me.
Yup. We found out about our MMC at 11 weeks, after seeing the heartbeat during the 6th week.
We've had two scans so far with this pregnancy and each time we're ?, though so far everything has been fine.
Last week the receptionist at my RE's office saw I still looked a little upset after the appointment and was sympathetic... today she asked when I was going to "turn (my) frown upside down and just enjoy it." Husband and I are hoping it will get easier once we get beyond the 11 week mark.
Husband broke my heart a little today. The doc was doing the initial scan before you turned the screen to me, but husband could see it clearly. I saw him start to look, out of habit, and then just immediately drop his head and close his eyes. I thought he was going to cry, which made me want to cry, of course.
