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 have goosebumps reading your update, there is nothing to compare to seeing / hearing your baby's heartbeat for the first time!

I've just come back to check and I was actually desperate to see "congratulations" rather than "so sorry".

So pleased for you OP, enjoy every second

@WhyThisLife I'm so happy for you! There's nothing like seeing that heartbeat.
Thank you for thinking of me today too. I just had the best news too that my chromosome test came back clear for any trisomy for this baby 😍 In tears, so imagine you are too x

All the congratulations and good vibes coming to you from me as well @WhyThisLife.

Vebrithien · 03/02/2020 18:15

So, so pleased to hear your news.

This was me, back in early December. Had 2 MMC last year, then a massive bleed at what should have been 6 weeks. Scan at the time was inconclusive.
One week later, expected to be told it was another MC only for a heartbeat to be seen.

Am 15 weeks now, another scan tomorrow, the anxiety is still there, but all the screening came back low risk.

I am so completely delighted for you.

DartmoorChef · 03/02/2020 18:23

So happy for you. I had numerous early miscarriages and I know the despair. Fingers crossed for you x

Bluetrews25 · 03/02/2020 18:26
