Try to calm yourself down. Being stressed out only makes the wait longer and more unbearable. If you have been feeling fine and all your other scans are okay then you have got a great chance of a full term pregnancy. If you have any doubts call your doctor. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

The good news is the chance of something being wrong after seeing the heartbeat is very low! At the point you are at, it drops to under 5% I think. I know it is easier said than done, but try not to stress out!! As long as you have had no cramping or red bleeding, everything is probably fine : )

Congratulations!
