So stressed

[meegm]

I am 11 weeks tomorrow and my scan is a week away.

for some stupid reason im starting to stress again that i have had a missed misscarriage or something...

i dunno why im feeling this way again - my 1st pregnancy i stressed out badly about everything and DS was fine and healthy....

Why do we have to feel these horrible feelings.. i cant stand it .... i want to ring the radiology dept and see if i can get an earlier appt... i still feel preggas, god why do i do this to myself...

I think i read to much sometimes....

Oh and ive also got a doppler and last time i heard the baby at 11.3 weeks and i still cant hear anything yet i think thats not helping me either.

You poor darling - I understand your feelings, I still feel that way now at nearly 15wks. Re the doppler, perhaps your placenta is anterior? Mine was for 1st preg and I didn't feel anything until 21 wks - and I have one this time too - tried doppler at 13.5 and nothing, so am trying again next week at 15.5. Hence, I understand your worry at not being able to hear anything ....

I didn't even know missed m/c were so common until I had mine - kinda takes the innocence and shine off preg - all that worry!!

Good luck with your scan, and keep talking to bubs.

Im really terrified about it - i dunno why i just am .... i was thinking that the placenta might be in the front because you can hear that loud and clear....

Thank you

Oh hun it is totally normal.... I was absolutely terrified a few weeks ago waiting for my scan. I had one at 7 and half weeks but for some reason thought that something terrible had happened, plus my miscarriage was at 12 weeks so I was sure that they weren't going to find a heartbeat.
The worrying never ends does it - I think it makes us great mums, and I will be hoping that the next week flies by for you so you can hear that beautiful heartbeat! As far as the doppler goes, remember that they are nowhere near as finely tuned as an ultrasound and bubs are so tiny at this stage that there are lots of reasons why you can't hear it yourself! again..
