NT scan today...

Don't really know why I'm posting. Just need support I guess.

Five years ago, almost exactly, I had my first NT scan, only to be told that there was no heartbeat, and that it looked as though my baby had died around 9 weeks. I sank into a depression that lasted well over a year, not helped by finding out that I had severe endometriosis and my chances of carrying a baby to full term were slim. Since then I've been on hormone treatments, had a laparoscopy, the whole works... miscarried twice more, both early, but now finally I am pregnant again and, so far, this one seems to be sticking.

I am now 12+3, and today's the big day. I have been a bundle of nerves throughout the entire pregnancy so far, and I am shaking just thinking about going into that room and finding out the news. My early scan showed a heartbeat, but I am terrified that the same thing will happen this time.

Like I said, I don't know why I'm posting, I'm just scared and on my own and my scan isn't until 4 o clock :( Wish me luck.

Good luck. I had a similar experience - missed miscarriage last year, found out at twelve weeks. Had an early reassurance scan with this pregnancy, but still got so worried before both twelve week and twenty week scans, it's normal to worry. Usually if you mention out to the midwife/sonographer they are very understanding. I'm currently 32 weeks.

Good luck to you today.

I'll wish you luck phoenix, I was in a similar position last week. I had my NT scan last Sat and had my eyes screwed up tight when I got on the bed, when the sonographer put the scanner on me I blurted out "just tell me there's a heartbeat" and when she did I burst into tears (I had a mmc in Jan)

I understand your fears, fingers firmly crossed for you, try and keep busy to pass the time. Sounds like you've been through so much already. Good luck.

Lots and lots of luck. I'm sure the sonographer will be lovely with you.

It was a gorgeous wriggly baby and I cried for about five minutes in sheer relief!!!

Thanks to all of you for your kind words and support Grin
