Reassurance scan today- handhold

Hi everyone,

I’ve had quite history with miscarriages. I am grateful that I conceived and now have a child however had a traumatising pregnancy where I had to stay in bed to ensure I didn’t miscarry for the fourth time and took every precaution in the book, took suppositories and aspirin as soon as I found out I was pregnant and baby was born a bit destressed due to some complications in my womb. Thankfully he is the love of my life.

I found out a week ago that I am pregnant, due to irregular cycle, I only found out now that I’m 9 weeks pregnant. However, something inside me tells me that it’s a non viable pregnancy.

I can’t share this with anyone as I sound like a pessimist. But I’m heading to the reassurance scan today and will find out.

I’m absolutely terrified because I didn’t do anything to make sure the pregnancy is protected. I was crazy. Did lots of exercising. Ate lots of junk. Never took any vitamins. I just didn’t know if I was pregnant because my cycles are irregular and the pregnancy test I took initially gave me negative.

Part of me hopes this pregnancy is viable but I dare not put my hopes up.

Just thought I’d make a thread and make sure I have support whatever it turns out to be.

Sending you a hug and Thanks

I have everything crossed that it is a positive result for you.

Oh that is a very difficult history and no wonder you tend toward expecting the worst. But you know, so many people do the activities you did and ate what you ate and had healthy pregnancies. It’s hard to know whether all the things you did in your son’s pregnancy are what made it viable or whether it was factors concerning the baby. What time is your scan?

Good luck with your scan, I hope it's good news Flowers

ILoveHumanity · 27/02/2019 14:17

Cushion thank you very much, I really hope so

merename my scan is at 4, so not long left! You’re right these are not necessarily risk factors but I feel my body is too fragile (perhaps because my hormones are low so the pregnancy doesn’t latch too strongly. I also was doing high impact sports to be honest which is not recommended at all for pregnancy

Hi everyone, thankfully it all went well and I saw a heartbeat! I’m very shocked. I’m very grateful for your support ladies.

Will be having my second reassurance scan hopefully in two weeks time.

Good luck Mrs W2B. I hope both of Us get some peace of mind.
