Dating scan nerves after TFMR

Hi all,

I’m currently 11+3 and anxiously awaiting my dating scan on Friday. My DH is working abroad this week so feel like I need a little extra support as we haven’t told any family or friends that I’m pregnant.

I’m very lucky to have 2 DS and this will hopefully be our third. However we’ve also had 2 TFMR (at 14 and 12 weeks) and a MC (at 7 weeks). Both fetal abnormalities were picked up at the twelve week scan and so to put it mildly, I’m bricking it!

Adding to that a large subchorionic hematoma picked up on a scan at 9+3 and I’m really struggling with the anxiety. With my youngest DS I also had a hematoma that led to a huge spontaneous bleed at 11 weeks so the timing is playing on my mind.

After my previous losses I have really tried detaching myself from the pregnancy but it seems I’ve failed miserably and am so invested now. Really trying to just tell myself I’m pregnant now and be optimistic.

Anyone else been in a similar position or just very anxious for their upcoming dating scan? Could use a virtual hand-hold!
