Who else is super nervous about the first scan!?

Question

Who else can't stop thinking about their first scan! I'm between 5-6 weeks (need to confirm at dating scan)

I've had my bloods done to confirm pregnancy and HCG levels are great! But I still have ten days until my scan! Doctor said by then there would definitely be a heartbeat! Now I can't stop worrying and thinking about it!

I had an early miscarriage back in February so of course now I'm terrified of it happening again!

How can I relax!? And would I know if there wasn't going to be a heartbeat (would I have symptoms like bleeding etc.) ?

Answer

In the waiting room now. So nervous. 
I still have symptoms so hopefully that's a good sign?

Answer

I am so nervous and have 2 weeks left! I'll be almost 10 weeks! All I keep thinking about

Answer

I had my first @6 weeks 1 day and couldn't believe my eyes, I was so nervous! I have my 2nd this week @8 weeks and I'm anxious again, I'll feel so relieved when I see that everything is ok!! I have very few symptoms so I'm like, am I really still pregnant?!

Answer

I'm not sure when mine will be yet! Still needing to go to the doctor, I go on Wednesday for a confirmation and blood test! I'm positive I'm pregnant though, with over 10 positive tests and darkening lines lol. So excited to know when I'll get my first ultrasound! I'm going to a midwife instead of an OB this time though so I have no idea when they do their ultrasounds or how many. I had three standard ones my first pregnancy.

Answer

I was at the beginning of my pregnancy due to a previous miscarriage at 16/18 wks. But this baby has been extremely healthy all the way through.

Answer

I'm 7 weeks today and my first scan is in 2 days. I'm so nervous. I've had two early miscarriages in the last 7 months but I had a beautiful daughter before then with no problems or complications. 
I have made it farther than both miscarriages this time and am not having any cramps or bleeding so I'm so hoping I see that baby and heartbeat! 
Good luck!!! ❤️

Answer

My first scan is on Thursday and I'm quite nervous too. I'm trying to keep as positive as I can otherwise I'll drive myself crazy and that's no good for us or baby. Let's trust nature. It knows best. And let's take care of ourselves best we can. 
Keep in touch 😘

Answer

So nervous ! I have mine in the 15th

Answer

My boobs are killing me too ! No nausea though 👍🏼 (yet). I got bloodwork done early because I have PCOS and a bicornuate uterus, so I was extra worried. I happen to be a postpartum nurse so I caught my OB at work one day and discussed my fears with him. He suggested I run in to the office to get bloodwork done so I was barely 5 weeks when I got my beta and prostertone levels drawn. He said my progesterone is great but that my beta was only 150 which he said means I'm "5 min pregnant". He wants me to come back this week and redraw beta levels to make sure there's a significant increase from week to week. BTW he was nice enough to scan me while I was in the office even though I was so early, and he said my uterine lining was deffinetly thickening (good sign) and that he did not see any proof of a bicornuate uterus (WHAT!) so I may have been misdiagnosed in the past. Will get a better view when I go in for my 8 week scan though....
