Anyone else finding it hard to stay positive between scans?

Question

I’m 10 weeks pregnant with our rainbow baby and I’m having such a difficult time this week. 
Our last scan was at 8W3D and everything looked great with a strong heartbeat of 188. But about a week after I started feeling so worried. Especially since my some of my symptoms have lessened. 
I have a home Doppler but I have NO clue at all what I’m hearing on that thing. I could’ve heard the heartbeat - maybe not. It’s all just so frustrating and scary. I have NO way of knowing if my baby is alive.

Answer

It’s normal for symptoms to lessen as you get further along! I would avoid the home doppler. It will just cause you so much unnecessary anxiety. One day you’ll find the heartbeat, the next day baby will change positions and you won’t be able to find it, causing you lots of stress you don’t need! Just try to breathe

Answer

I use my doppler it helped a ton. Youll know when its babys heart because its much faster and even sounds different like a hollow drum. I found mine at 10 weeks but they say wait until 12

Answer

It gets easier when you can feel baby move!!! Up until then it’s just a waiting and wondering game. I never used a Doppler because my doctor had a hard time finding the heartbeat in office and that was stressful enough!!

Answer

I had two losses and two rainbow babies and it may not get better for you until they're born. Especially my last pregnancy, it was so hard to stay positive and connect with my baby. At least knowing I'd had one good pregnancy helped a little, but it's a very emotionally stressful time if you're anxious at all. Fortunately, no matter what you do, eventually you'll most likely have a healthy baby, since all it really takes is time. One day at a time.

Answer

I’m feeling the same way 😔

Answer

Between scans as long as some symptoms remained then I don’t get concerned.
