M/C chances after 12 weeks

[AlligatorsMum]

Could u pop into the emergency room at ur local hospital?

I've had 2 scans there already. Once for early bleeding at 6 weeks and then a dating scan at 8 weeks. Plus the wait would be at least 2 hours and I don't think they have a sonographer(sp?) after hours. Just feel so uneasy

It would be unlikely you would be given an ultrasound in an emergency department, particularly after hours unless you had bleeding or abdominal tenderness. Unfortunately it would not be considered an emergency and you would wait a long time only to be referred for a private scan at a later date.

I hope you find the confidence to enjoy your pregnancy soon, part if being a mummy is always having the worry of the well being of your child, unborn or in your arms. If you are feeling particularly anxious please call your ob's office tomorrow and let them know how much it's impacting on you. Xx

Sorry Novella, I didn't see your first post! I will call my OB tomorrow then, but I don't want to seem like a crazy person. Plus it's hard to swap appointments around work because I don't have people to cover my shifts.

I know symptoms start to fade once you enter the second trimester, but it still makes me worry. And I hate not showing yet, it's like it's not real and there's nothing in there.

Thank you ladies for your reassurance xx

Your OB will be able to check HB for you. If you ring them concerned, they will find a spot for you. Most OB's are very accommodating if you are worried. I know when I had a huge panic attack, my OB saw me within the hour when I called.

Thanks Lilima, I hope they can fit me in around work because I can't really move shifts around once they are concrete. It just stuffs everything up. I guess i will just wait and see...
