Feeling neurotic.... peace of mind?

Question

I had an ultrasound at 6w4d and now I am 9w2d. I don't have another US until 12w5d and I have been so impatient and neurotic! That is not my personality at all but I can't shake this fear that there won't be a heartbeat when I go in next or that something is wrong.
I am high risk because of my diabetes but my blood sugars are running perfect and I have no indication that something is wrong other than after hellacious symptoms last week I am finally feeling a bit better.
All I want to do is hear that heartbeat and the thought of waiting 3 more weeks is torturous. Can anyone offer peace of mind. Is there anything I can do to comfort myself?!

Answer

I haven't even had an ultrasound yet and I'm 11 weeks. I'm high risk but for different reasons.

Answer

We waited all the way until 20 weeks for the first ultrasound! lol. That was our choice, and we are avoiding dopplers too (unless medically necessary + at the birth)
.....
if you are worried though, you could buy a doppler to use at home. Limit it's use of course, but you could use it to hear heartbeats and ease your mind until you start feeling movements.. then track baby thay way:)
just an idea!

Answer

I didn't have an ultrasound till 11 weeks. I know what you mean 😊 While I waited to be called back for my ultrasound I was slowly convincing myself that I was not really pregnant at all and had never been pregnant. They would find no baby, they would instead discover I was dying. This was even after 2 very positive at home tests and many symptoms... I got really worked up over it 😵 But I was fine, and my son was born totally healthy. Try not to stress too much 💕

Answer

I didn't even get another ultrasound around 12 weeks! I had my dating ultrasound at 7 weeks then didn't have another one until my anatomy scan yesterday at 20w 1d. Try not to stress yourself out anymore than you need to. I'm sure your baby will be fine! Good luck ❤️
