I couldnt imagine how u must hav felt. Wen i had the etopic i found out i was pregnant and was havin suvire pain and a week later it was all over. Didnt have time to process it all. I had a gd feelin about this pregnancy straight away aswell, wher as bfor i just new somethng wasnt right cos i was in so much pain. Im sure everything will be fine but it defo still plays on ur mind. Sounds terrible but im still waiten on something goin wrong its always at the back of ma mind i think once my baby is in ma arms i will believe it.x

Its totaly normal for u to feel that way. I had an etopic pregancy and had to go for emergeny surgery and was told ther was a chance i might not hav kids. which for any women is so hard to hear. I no its not th same thing but it was a terrible time for me and my partner. When i found i was pregnant in oct it was th best and worst feelin bcos i just wanted to no everythng was ok. and now im 31+2 with a healthy baby and we cldnt b happier. so dont think negative thots and roll on tuesday. its always the longest time ever until u get ur scan and they put ur mind at ease. fingers crossed for u and plz let me no how u get on xx

Aww I understand why ur worried,  always look to positives,  only 4 more weeks and u can have scan and hopefully baby will be fine. Don't stress just try and stay busy keep ur mind occupied,  take a nice long bath or face mask or go clothes shopping anything u can think of to cheer urself up. Remember stress is bad f baby! I'm sorry f ur loss. Best of luck t u,  if u wanna chat u can inbox me. God bless
