Ellie - I'm really sorry you're feeling so anxious but it's completely understandable that you are feeling this way.
It's so hard waiting for those scans, and six weeks feels like an eternity in pregnancy. Unfortunately it's just an endurance test and you just need to hang on.
You've done so well to get from seeing your baby's heartbeat at 6 weeks to where you are now - you're almost there!! You've gotten through the biggest part of the wait, and even though I know those last 7 days will also feel like an eternity, the time will pass and you will get there.
All your symptoms sound really promising, I'm sure that when you do have the scan all will be well, and then you'll have gotten through the hardest part.
Just take it one day at a time, and before you know it you'll be seeing your gorgeous baby at the 12 week scan.
Hi Ellie. I completely understand your fear. You are doing so well so just try and focus on all the positive points you wrote. Take comfort in the fact that you have been vomiting like no tomorrow! I think you have done amazingly well to not have extra scans - you are less of a crazy lady than I am - by the time I reached 12 weeks I had been scanned about 3-4 times (definitely psycho-scan status) - so for you to have less is showing that you obviously have some faith in this pregnancy. Never give up hope, and if you feel scared or anxious, just come and vent to us. You know we ALL understand how you are feeling. Big hugs
From your list sounds like your doing great, especially the everything smells bad!
Best of luck for your scan, I'm sure you'll be fine, I know how paranoid you can be after previous misscarrige......I was second guessing my body this whole pregnancy and still find it hard to believe that I've finally made it to the 30 week mark. The heartbeat at 6 weeks is a sign that bubs is going strong and I'll keep my fingers crossed that everything is going fine!
Thanks so much for your replies. Just had the biggest 'sob' and feel alot better. Just knowing that others have been through the same 'terror' and you have survived is encouraging!
Katie thanks for reminding me that I have felt differently about this pregnancy...we did this one on our own...and what a surprise it was! Thanks ladies...your support today is just soooo wonderful xxx
Hey mate, I really wish I could come and hold your hand, just like I wish someone who understood could come and hold mine on Friday.
I've only lost one so I can't imagine your feeling at the moment, but I do 'get it'. Today I am 2 days past where I lost my last only 16 weeks ago.
I agree with all the others though, everything sounds positive.
but it's completely understandable that you are feeling this way.
