Nervous for early scan

I've got an early scan in a few hours time, I suffered a bad miscarriage in may and the idea of going back to the room that they examined me in last time to be examined again in terrifying! I know there's not much anyone can say but I'm terrified, I hope everything is alright and I see a little heartbeat flickering away, just needed to write it down as there's no one in RL I can talk about it too 😫

No wonder you're anxious. Thinking of you, and I hope it goes well. Flowers

Wishing you lots of luck today x

Flowers I was in your shoes last week after a missed miscarriage in April. Very best of luck for today. It’s statistically far more likely to be good news than bad.

Hope all goes well. Xxx

Wishing you all the very best Thanks I was worried about having an early scan when I was pregnant again following an ectopic pregnancy - the thought of going back into the same room where I'd previously had such bad news was very upsetting. I tried to focus on it as a fresh start, a new pregnancy with there being no reason for anything to be wrong, and that helped a bit. I'll be thinking of you today xx

Good luck! I had an early scan because I'd not long finished chemo and I was bricking it but everything was fine xx

Hope you get good news.

@caitlinn good luck! I had an early scan in similar circumstances last week - its so scary isn’t it? I was so anxious I almost couldn’t get on the couch.

Had my scan and seen the heartbeat, she said it's measuring a little bit small but isn't concerned!! I'm over the moon ❤️

So chuffed for you x

That's wonderful news - congratulations!

sachabloom · 21/08/2018 17:42

Really pleased you got good news @caitlinn

I hope you don't mind me asking how far along you are? I'll be 6+3 tomorrow and I have my early scan (bleeding and cramping down one side). Not sure what I should be expecting. All my DH has asked is if we will get a picture lol xx

@sachabloom I'm actually 6+5, there wasn't all that much to see, just a blob with a flicker really, and a blob next to it which was the yolk sack😄

Thank you everyone, definitely relaxed me a little for now 😀

Congratulations!

Ah congratulations! I remember feeling the same after previous mc. It was such a relief to have the early scan, and each step helps you relax more. When you have the 12 week scan it's another milestones.. and then when you eventually start feeling the kicksSmile
