Darl, although I've never suffered a loss, I too was terrified when I pregnant with DS. I could not get excited until after the 12 week scan. I was just convinced there would be nothing there, that the worst had happened. I even said to DH as we were leaving for the appointment "This is it. When we come back here we'll no longer be parents", I can still remember the fear. I think I even did a pregnancy test before we left the house!
Again, luckily I have never had a miscarriage. I can't imagine how it feels to know how easily all your hopes and dreams can be taken away from you. But I really think a lot of women feel scared until they see that little bub on the screen for themselves, it's just not talked about.
Big hugs, everything is going to be fine. I can't wait to hear about your next scan!
