First u/s tomorrow and nervous

[orphanannie59]

I guess I just need to get it out about being nervous.  I don't really have anyone to talk to about it, everyone thinks I am too obsessive anyway.  I am just so scared there won't be anything there, I am beginning to have slight panic attacks.  Nothing serious, just the wave of fear, stomach upset, dread feeling.....I have to tell myself I can't change it either way, and I can accept whatever happens.  I hate feeling negative about such a wonderful thing, but miscarriages ruin your excitement. I am not thinking about it all the time, but now that I am off work it seems to be worse.  I guess I just was hoping someone would have some kind words.  I am hoping to see a heartbeat (6w4d), but keep telling myself if I don't I won't get upset. Thanks for letting me write it down and actually getting it out (even if it isn't "saying it").

I have my first US tomm as well.  I am 29 years old and was trying for two years and finally my husband and I decide to do IVF and long behold, 2 weeks ago, I found out I was prenant.  I couldnt believe it.  I have never ever been pregnant so I am so worried about all the stories I hear.  I am thinking positive for tomm.  From my blood work, my doctor said it seems like I may be having twins, but we will confirm tomm.  I hope youu guys can all wish me luck.  I cant stop thinking of tomm.  Everyday I keep taking a HPT to make sure I am still pregnant.  I have gotten obsessed, but I am just praying for a good result tomm.  I had my transfer on 7/31 and my last menstruat period was on 07/24 so I guess that makes me about 6 weeks right?  I am so glad to hear great news from everyone, I would like to join the band wagon as long as everything works out well tomm.  Wish me luck!

Hi there,
I also had my first ultrasound today and it went great also!  I'm 9 weeks and 4 days and everything measured perfectly and the heartbeat was 176!  I've had 3 miscarriages so this was my 4th pregnancy and I was jus scared to death to go today!
congrat's to all you guys who got great ultrasounds today!  August 28th is one fantastic day!!!  

[orphanannie59]

Ultrasound went GREAT!!!!  hb was 125 and very strong.  Everything measured just right, 6w4d, due date 04/18/2008.  The doctor seemed good with everything today, and talked to us about what testing we want, and wants me back in two weeks to do "paperwork". I am very happy with what we saw and heard.  I am just amazed at the technology now vs. when I had ds 17 years ago.  I had to wait a long time to hear the heartbeat then.  Boy was that music to my ears!!!!! DH said to pick up a "nice" photo album for the u/s pictures.  I think he is relieved as well.  I hope now he will tell his co-workers that he is having a baby!!!


Normally I am not a worrywart, maybe a bit impatient at times (my husband says I am the worst), but I have learned that worrying is wasted energy.  I had a Mother who was a worrier and have tried really hard to not be.  But this is kicking my a@@!! I have very little control over this, and want to enjoy it so much.  I am going to have to learn meditation or something to help.  Being able to tell you ladies is a great relief and knowing you will understand is very comforting.  Thank you soooo much!!

I'm dyin to know how your appt went.

azqtpies- let us know about yours Friday

"Here's a little song I sing, You might wanna sing it note by note, so dont worry be happy"

Sorry I havent sung that in a week or so and wanted to throw it out there for all you  ((Sheila))

[Tanker Chic]

Don't even entertain those thoughts.. they are a waste of energy.. it is true that you will not be able to change the outcome if that is the case, so there is no need to focus on it.. You plan for the best and if the worst happens, you deal with it then.. and not until..

I look forward to reading about how great your u/s goes!!

[nylena]

I just want to  wish you have a great u/s with a splendid heartbeat!! I 'm trying sooo hard to play cool but sometimes i loose it...you are not alone nor crazy,keep yr chin up, good luck!

[chiromom]

OK, I am the only very patient - don't have a home doppler - don't like ultrasounds - preggo in the group that tries my hardest to keep everyone calm and positive.  I guess I'm the exception.  Not that I don't worry, I have had my share of issues (MC and ectopic) like all of the rest of us geriatric moms (yes - that is clinically what we are called) - but I'm in the "I cannot control what happens - I might as well just try to enjoy the ride" group.  I do have to say ladies, that you are doing all of my stressing for me, so thanks!!
I will have nothing new to post until the middle of September, when I go to the OB next and then follow up with an US to see if it is still twins.
For everyone else, smile, rub your belly, think happy thoughts, enjoy every moment, and each day will get you closer to that baby.

[azqtpies]

I am in  too!!!

I go this friday for our first U/S at 2:30 I will be 5w3d.. I had my tubes reversed in June so very nervous , we will find out where our lil peanut is! It will be such a HUGE relief.  I know how all  you feel, being a older mommy I never had to go through all this b4, but I guess I shoould get used to it, there is sooo much more testing ahead!
Best of luck to all of you =)
I will post my results on Friday! Wish us luckX

(Holds up piece of paper and hat) Join in anytime DML - lol


Hey orphanannie - I know exactly how you feel - I know I'll worry until I hold our peanut in my arms and count everything twice - and then I'm sure the worrying will really start - will he hit milestones on time - will he be healthy - will he get into a good preschool - will he get good grades in school - will he date a nice girl - argh - and on and on and on and on - my theory is that pregnancy is to prepare us for all the worrying we will hopefully do the rest of our lives...lol

Where do I sign up for Worrywarts Anonymous? ;-)

[kahlian]

I am leaving in a few minutes! Thanksfor all the kind words! My progesterone started at 4.9 then they upped prometrium and it went to 9, 13, and my final number last week was 23..so as you can see this is quite the crazy start to a pregnancy!  i will let you all know when i return! Good luck to everyone else!

[orphanannie59]

kahlian  I will be thinking about you today at 10.  Please let me know how yours went.  We are so close together and the support will be so nice in comparing notes in the months to come.  You are so sweet.  Do you know what your prog numbers are now? I hope you see a heartbeat today.

Renogirl-Thank you so much for putting a smile on my face.  I know worrying is not healthy, so I try to keep me mind off of it.  I had a moment yesterday afternoon. I know this is a milestone today (my u/s is at 4pm), and there are many more to go.  I have to find a way to enjoy and not worry so much. I keep thinking in the second trimester, but I see that isn't the case :).  I think I will worry until I actually see 10 fingers/toes in April.  Thank you for responding.

Ok ladies - please put these on (official worriers hat)  Welcome to the club - you are now official members of Worrywarts Anonymous -let me start this meeting - Hello, my name is Rebecka, and I am a worrywart.  We had a miscarriage earlier this year and are currently 13w5d.  The other ladies have been so wonderful on this forum talking me off the ledge each time I have an appointment or an ultrasound or just manage to freak myself out because I rented a home doppler and found my OWN heartbeat and thought it was the baby's - doh!  Let me pass along some of the great advice I have received - if you worry, it not only stresses you out - it stresses out your body and that is NOT good for your little peanuts.  We are all sending you positive energy, kind thoughts and prayers - all will go well - six weeks may be a bit early to see a heartbeat - not sure - we saw one at seven weeks - so best of luck - please post as soon as you know something as we will all be thinking about the two of you tomorrow

[kahlian]
