First ultrasound is tomorrow and I am nervous?

Question

I'm at 6.5 weeks and am getting my first ultrasound tomorrow. I'm really nervous because we have had a loss previously, but we also never got to this point either.

Any experienced people who can offer support, please respond and let me know about your situation.

Answer 1

I wold tell you go ahead a grieve a loss, but dont put stress on yourself when a gift has been given to you. Its ok to be worried but dont let it consume you, enjoy your ultrasound tomorrow all you can do is hope that the same thing will not happen to you again..best wishes to you!!!!

Answer 2

With this pregnancy I had my first ultra sound between 5-6 weeks because I had experienced some bleeding, which scared me!! I have not experience a previous loss, but I was afraid of going in to find a baby but no heartbeat, or something of that nature. I am now 20wks, baby is kicking like crazy and everything looks great. I know its very hard not to worry especially if you've had negative results before, but in all reality, there's absolutely nothing you can change. I pray everything will be fine for you and you will get the chance to see your little peanut tomorrow. Good luck!

Answer 3

I know the nervous feeling you are having. It is the feeling that nothing will be there. I am 24 weeks (25 weeks tomorrow) and still when I go to app or ultrasounds I am afraid of bad news. I think that once you hve had that loss you kind of always prepare yourself for it.

Remember as long as you are doing ggod now keep that in mind, try not to dwell on the past loss, remember this is a new baby. I is okay to be nervous and scared, but try to be happy for your pregnancy at the same time.

Keep your head up and stay strong.

I had a miscarriage and am now in my second heathly pregnancy.

Hiya Sally. Don't worry it will be fine. I too had a miscarriage previously and I went for an early scan with this pregnancy at 5 weeks. They will do a transvaginal ultrascan, which doesn't hurt, to get a good look. Now, don't get worried! they won't be able to see the heartbeat yet, it is too early and you won't see much really, just a little kidney bean shaped thingy. They will also check your ovaries to make sure everything is fine. I went back 2 weeks after my first one for another and they saw the heartbeat flickering like mad! I can't describe the feeling, i was totally overjoyed! Im now 12 weeks and everything is going fine. Guess what - we are both gonna have healthy, bouncy beautiful little babies!!!!!! Stop worrying everything will be fine this time

Answer 5

First of all Congratulations!
I deeply empathize with you and your loss. I too, had 3 lost children before my first sucessful pregnancy. If you are at 6.5 weeks, why are you having an ultrasoud so soon? Is it because of the lost? With both my pregnancies ultra sounds were not given until 20 weeks. I had complications with my first sucessful pregnancy delivered my son 3 weeks premeture with 3 doctors 17 resident students and 11 people on the surgical team. They rushed him off and he then had to have 2 surgeries right after birth. I wasn't able to hold him until he was 3 weeks old. After 3 1/2 months in the hospital we were given the okay to go home. I was so excited because it was 3 days after september 11th and I was scared. I just wanted to get home and be a family and a mother to my son.
2 1/2 years later I got pregnant accidently, and had a normal pregnancy. I chose to have a home birth this time, with a mid wife I was hoping for a bathtub delivery but back labor got in the way of that. I had her on the couch instead. It was a beautiful experience that changed my outlook on life. Being able to hold my child right after she came from my body brought me to tears. I found it to be a very healing experience for me, I had a lot of anger and anomosity towards medical staff after spending 3 1/2 months in the hospital with a child I couldn't bring home right away. Today we are doing well. I understand you nervousness and wish you well with your pregnanacy. I hope you enjoy what a beautiful experience it can be, and be blessed with all the joys of motherhood. Good luck

Answer 6

First, congrats on your pregnancy. I hope you and your little one will be safe and come out completely healthy. There is nothing to worry about with an ultrasound. It should be something exciting. I have not had an ultrasound yet but I'm so excited. Good luck with everything. :)

Answer 7

sorry to hear about your loss. It sounds like having made it this far is something to celebrate then. Remember that if there are any complications, it's best to know as early as possible. Just think, tomorrow you will get to see your new baby for the first time!! How exciting is that?

At my first ultra-sound, I found out I was having twins!!

Answer 8

I had 2 miscarriages before I got pregnant with my son. He is my third and final child. We tried forever to get pregnant and when we did I lost it, then tried again and we lost that one. But I know that early ultrasounds are fun, but you dont really see much. At least I didnt. I hope you do. I wish you lots of luck with this one. Best Wishes.

Answer 9

Many people miscarry and go on to have perfectly fine pregnancies. I can understand you being really nervous.. but if you are healthy and following doctor's advice, doing everything you can... then it's really all you can do and out of your hands at that point. Congrats

Answer 10

I wouldnt be nervous, that will just cause more stress for you and the baby. You should be excited, you get to see your little one for the first time! Sit back, relax and enjoy! Good Luck and congrats!
