To ask for a handhold? Heading for a mental breakdown depending on tomorrow

Probably not the right section for this but with the traffic AIBU gets, here I am!

I'd like to ask for a handhold, some group support, a chat etc... As I prepare for my hospital appointment tomorrow.

I have been struggling with fertility issues for a while now and I am currently pregnant. Tomorrow is the scan where I find out if this is viable or not (I've had quite a few previously where I've been told they aren't and had to have D&C's or surgery etc...).

It's all taking its toll now and it's taking all my strength to go in that room willingly tomorrow and not being dragged kicking and screaming. I hate being there, I hate watching people coming out before me all happy and going over to the machine to pay for their scan photos, I hate the look on the nurses faces as soon as they can see on the screen and their 'im very sorry' voices when they tell me again, I hate being walked out and put in the 'quiet room' and seeing everyone's sympathetic faces in the waiting room because they know why.

I am seriously concerned about how I will be tomorrow if it's the same news. I am so so so fed up. I feel like I'm heading for some sort of breakdown but I can't bring myself to give up either.

I don't want to worry DH too much (although he does know how I'm feeling), so can I trouble you all for some support/conversation please? I feel so jittery and restless waiting for tomorrow.

I had four miscarriages and when pregnant for fifth time was convinced I would miscarry again but I did not. I have no understanding as it felt the same each pregnancy. A hand hold and remember previous outcomes don't affect your chances this time. Fingers crossed for you. X

So, so happy for you! That's brilliant news.

Wellintentionedreader · 03/02/2020 12:55

I will never forget how lovely it felt when that 'I'm PREGNANT!' thought flicked across my mind .

Welling up with hot sounds all sorts of dodgy.
