Anxious about first sono after 2 consecutive mmc.

[Anonymous]

Feeling very anxious about attending first sono this week. Just thinking about it makes me want to throw up. The last two times I went in for the first sono there was no heartbeat. I am 40. Please send good vibes my way, I am having trouble coping today.

Deep breaths, OP. Third time is the charm. Let us know how it goes.

I’m so sorry. Hopefully you’re not going alone.

Good luck and so sorry about previous losses.

Oh I am sending you serious positive vibes. I’m also coming off of two MMC, the last one the heartbeat was weak but dragged on and on. I’ve fantasized a scenario where If I were to get pregnant again I would just accidentally miss my early ultrasounds. You are brave and strong and you can do this.

You can do this! I've been these. So sorry. Sending good vibes!!

Sending you strength, OP! You can do this.

Just wanted to say I’m sorry for your losses and for the innocence and joy t takes away from being pregnant. I am going through the same thing.

I tried to concentrate only on what I knew RIGHT NOW. Not future possibilities. So each day I'd say "right now, I am pregnant." With the information I had at hand, that was all I knew. I was pregnant. Period. Not "but this may happen" etc. Just "I am pregnant. I am not currently having a miscarriage." that kind of thing.

I also focused on how worrying about bad things happening NEVER stopped the bad thing. So I'd rather attempt to enjoy the days of Blissful Ignorance even though I was faking it. I tried to fake it as best I could.

Good luck OP. I had three losses and have two healthy children now. Sending you wishes for a long and healthy pregnancy!

I hear you OP. I have a 22 month old after 2mmc, both of which happened after seeing the hb once (though the second one was slow from the start). With DD I was extremely anxious -- had serious intestinal issues (sorry tmi) before every 1st tri ultrasound. My patience has never been more tested. But we made it, somehow. There's nothing really to advise except try to distract yourself as much as possible. I binge watched a lot of TV in the days leading up to ultrasounds. And I told myself that things would ultimately be ok one way or another if it didnt work out. I still feel incredibly lucky that things did work out.

Thank you for your kind thoughts. It looks like it may be a blighted ovum. Sac was measuring 6.1 weeks but there was no yolk or fetal pole visible. Will have to come back for another sono in 10 days. Feeling absolutely gutted.

So sorry OP.

Very sorry, OP.
