Upcoming 6 week scan fears, how have others coped?

Question

After two losses I’m pregnant for a third time. So far blood work looked good and my RE scheduled me for a 6 week ultrasound (appointment is next week). I’ve never seen a good ultrasound, it’s been bad new every time. How have some of you coped through this to help get through? I know pregnancy after loss will always be difficult and minds will worry, but what helps you stay positive?

Answer

I know how nerve wracking it can be . My son was stillborn at 22w3d last thanksgiving and now I’m pregnant with my rainbow . I was a mess before my first appointment. I was convinced the baby wasn’t going to stick or something similar would happen with Liam . Now I’m 16w4d and my baby is healthy as ever and will be here just two weeks before Liam’s first birthday in heaven. There’s not much you can do at this point but pray and know Heavenly Father will bless and protect you and your little rainbow. Your other losses have hand picked this rainbow baby for you . 
If you need someone to talk to ever I am here for you. You can always send me a message about concerns and fears you have. It really helped me to have other women on glow to share with because they understand the “irrational” fears that we have as moms who have suffered loss. Congrats on your baby !! I will day a prayer for you. ❤️

Answer

I’m with you. Unfortunately I don’t have any good coping mechanisms. But know that you’re not alone! I have had two miscarriages. I am 6 weeks today and going in for an ultrasound this afternoon. I’m spotting as I was last time. My hcg was rising as expected (as opposed to last time where it wasn’t doubling), but that last draw was Tuesday and they won’t do anymore. I’m terrified to go in because I’m expecting to hear bad news again. I’m sick with worry.
