First GP appointment tomorrow.

Feeling really nervous/scared... I found out I am pregnant almost 2 weeks ago, I gave myself a week to call to make an appt to let it settle in. I'm high risk, been preparing for pregnancy and all that will come with it since I lost my baby 5 months ago at 18 weeks. I know what will happen now, I'll be on 2 weekly monitoring and growth scans until 18 weeks then it will be weekly. I know this and I'm fine with this, anything to get another living person. But I'm feeling emotional about it all. This is MY pregnancy and MY baby and it feels like all of this will somehow take that away from me :( I don't want to share this baby, not after all the last baby had to go through :( I've never been this nervous about seeing a Dr before. And I trust my Dr more than anything so it's not that. Guess I'm just feeling very alone :(

Any other high riskers out there?

Had the appointment went well. Sent off all the referrals to different hospitals and teams. Now wait to hear back. Scan on Sunday. Feeling really emotional and a bunch of pressure on me.

I feel the same way.  I lost my baby girl at 22 weeks last year.  My first appointment tomorrow. I have so many emotions.  I am just trying to stay calm.  And hope for the best.

I'm extreme high risk. I have to give birth in a city 2 hours away from where I live. I understand your pain. I don't like the constant prodding and poking. It's nerve wracking at every appointment to hear if things are going okay or not
