24-6-2009 - blood work and appointment

My mood while writing this blog:
nervous

hello ladies =o)

i called my drs office today, and they faxed over a lab sheet to the hospital for me to get blood work taken today and friday. i go in at 330--- is it normal to be nervous!?!! in my heart i know this one is different, i feel like everything is going to be ok- but a part of me still worries that things wont be ok, that they will end just like they did last time.

they told me they want me to go in today and friday and then call them on monday to get the results. they also set up an ultrasound for july 1 at 330. ladies, i am so scared!!!!!!!! like ive said so many times-- i didnt really have a may period- just spotting, i THINK i ovulated on june 5th or 6th- going by the amount of ewcm i had and the slight cramping. so, going by that- i should only be 6 weeks along or so when i get the u/s done..... can they see much that early?? i told the nurse i talked to on the phone that i was a nervous wreck- and she told me not to worry, she seemed really nice.

keep us in your prayers =o)

I know everything will be okay! At 6 weeks they sometimes can see the heartbeat but it's not easy so don't be scared!

I don't blame you for being nervous at all. I imagine it will feel like that for a little while until you get to 12 weeks. I'm wishing happy baby thoughts for you though. :)

I know exactly what you mean and I hope that everything goes really well :)

it is normal to be nervous i do not think that it ever goes away once you have had a miscarriage. i had one a few years ago, and i was so nervous with my daughter and i am nervous now with this pregnancy. I have already seen the heartbeat, but i do not think i will truely relax until i see my baby at 12 weeks and know it is fine and we are out of the 1 trimester.

Yay! I'm so glad you called and got an earlier appointment and the bloodwork. My dr. said that they can sometimes see a heartbeat before 7 weeks, but wouldn't schedule me until 7 so that I didn't freak out if they didn't see one. You'll have to let us all know on Monday how the numbers went. At this point, everything is a milestone. Numbers going up, ultrasound showing something, heartbeat on ultrasound, making it past when you had your loss last time, making it out of the first trimester, etc. Be positive!

Everything will be great...we had an ultrasound pretty early on with this one too after our loss in october...and while they couldn't see much, they did see a baby in there with a heartbeat (i was at 7 or 8 weeks). I've found that I continued to be nervous with this little bean up until the time when we lost the last one...once I passed that window and than got into the second trimester, I've been much more relaxed.

They should have scheduled it for 7 weeks and on cause the heart may not show up yet on the screen then it will just freak you out more! All is okay and baby is fine! think positive!

HIya, just to let you know I had a scan at 5w, 3days and all I saw was an empty gestational sac. That was the Friday. I went back on the Monday, 3 full days later, and I had a sac, a yolk sac and a heartbeat! That would have been at 5w, 6days. However, the ultrasound woman said she was surprised to see a heartbeat at that point, and would have been more than happy with just a yolk sac. So you should see something I think. Good luck xx The anxiety's a killer isn't it?

Its definitely normal to be nervous. I STILL get nervous before every appt, and I feel him kicking all the time :) Its just what happens when you have previous losses. I also got pregnant again right away after my m/c and no AF.

BabySaunders - Wednesday, 24 Jun
Aww you'll be fine sweetie. I got prego again RIGHT after my d&c. Never even had AF and I got to see the heartbeat a couple days ago! It'll be great. How did the reveal go with DH? Was he excited on Father's Day?

Being nervous is understandable after previous m/c but I believe everything will be fine and your levels will increase. I hope that my believe has enough power behind it to make it so. Take care of you and please try not to stress yourself too much over the results.
