I'm the same way I'm a nervous reck. after 2 mc im scared. i have mine on Saturday for the first time and I'm so scared. but my husband tries to calm me down. But I was the same way when I went to the doctor to check if i was pregnant. God Bless You I'm sure everything will be ok... We have to stay calm and possible.

With my first, after several mc, I don't think there was an appointment at which I didn't worry before and sigh with relief after hearing those little thumps...right up until delivery! With my second and with this one, I'm a little more relaxed, but there's still a few anxious moments. I think it's ok to worry a little, just try to not let it control your every thought.

Its different depending on the place your at.  Im in Chicago Illinois & had my first ultrasound at 10 weeks and I wasn't able to hear the heartbeat I was only able to see it beating on the screen.
