Hello all! First time momma-to-be here. I’m currently 10 weeks 1 day pregnant, based on my LMP. I was just hoping to get some reassurance/opinions from some other mommas here on the (what feels like torturous) wait for the first ultrasound scan.

So far I’ve had 2 nurse visits (at 6W and 9W) confirming pregnancy with a urine test, running some blood work and obtaining information. But I haven’t gotten any doppler or ultrasound scans yet 😕

Has this been anyone else’s experience? I ask because I see SO many scan pictures/posts on here from people 6-10 weeks along, and this wait I have until my 12 week scan feels like pure torture!

I’ve had pretty moderate symptoms (sore breasts, nausea, fatigue, acne, cramps, etc) thus far… and the nausea started improving around 9 weeks which I’ve read is normal. I try to focus on symptoms being a good thing and keep a positive mindset. But with missed miscarriages being fairly common, I have a lot of anxiety over the unknown. I also have a minor heart defect myself, so that increases my anxiety.

Long story long, I guess I’m just hoping to hear from some of you other mommas about your stories and experiences… anyone else in the same/similar boat?
