ultrasound anxiety..

I have lost two pregnancies in the past and tomorrow I go for an ultrasound to get my due date (8 weeks pregnant)..just so scared to get bad news again. How do you prepare yourself for the ultrasound without so much anxiety? I am praying for good news that there is a healthy baby with a good heartbeat.

I have had 2 missed miscarriages. I'm so sorry about your loss. It's extremely heart breaking. One day you will have a little one. Have you thought about getting tested for anything?

I've never had a miscarriage that I know of or anything like that but I've always had that fear until my anatomy scan at 19 weeks. Hoping everything goes well!
