How do you keep your calm until your first ultrasound?

Question

I live in Sweden and I won't get my first ultrasound until the last week of my first trimester. I am going berserk thinking the worst possible things! I'm very very worried about the blighted ovum thing, that I'm reading from so many posts here. I hope my tiny bean is in there, I hope everything is OK and it is just my irrational fear. This part is even worse than the Two week wait!!

Answer

Honestly just pray about it’s always gonna be something to worry about you get some positive and no baby you get some baby and go back no heart beat some heart beat and still born bottom line it’s always something you can worry about my personal advice a person been through almost every kinda of situation is take it one day at a time pray for a healthy happy 9 months and just keep breathing enjoy every moment it’s just life and remember in any situation it’s a up and a down to it

Answer

I’m having weekly ultrasounds after IVF and it doesn’t make it any easier. You just worry more often because there’s always a scan just a few days away when everything could be taken away. (IVF is also traumatic like this.) I think this is just how pregnancy is, as soon as you hit one milestone YOURE worries about the next.

Answer

I think in first trimester there are so many positive things about his board (support, etc) but you also laser in on all the posts with complications and worry yourself.
I know that, personally, I have to close the app and just let things be. No amount of scans has put my mind at 100% ease, so many things that can be normal in 1st tri can also be abnormal.
After I hit 2nd tri, I’m all in on board participation- but honestly, it can make me worry even more reading certain posts at this point.
Be kind to yourself.

Having a Doppler to listen to baby's heart makes me calm! This pregnancy I haven't heard it yet . I'm only 8 weeks today. Around 9 weeks I'm able to hear it and it is so amazing
