cant wait for 12 week u/s im so paranoid

hi everyone, i cant wait untill my 12 week u/s so i can put my mind at ease i am so paranoid at the moment cause of my last m/c . i have my 12 week u/s next fri i just cant wait to see if my baby is ok ive got all these little things playing on my mind only because my m/s has gone bad to nothing and my boobs arent so sore anymore im hopeing and praying that everything is goin to be ok just frightens me a bit when all the symptoms start to goaway is this normal to feel like this ? i have heard every pregnancy is different . :pray:

Your lucky all ur m/s has gone!! Mine is still here and im 17 weeks now... with DD it lasted til 22 weeks! Ive never had a m/c before but i was always worried..i never heard a heart beat until 15 weeks (i didnt have a 12 week scan), before that last time i seen a heart beat was at 6 weeks!!!

All will be ok... goodluck!!!

Hi there!!!! I know exactly how you feel. I am going for my 12 week scan next Friday also and I am so nervous. I had bad m/s also which now seems to have gone, but I am still very tired which is a good sign. I am also having some light cramping which comes and goes, it doesn't hurt at all though. Do you have the same?

Anyway, I am sure will will be fine! Have you had an u/s yet? Stay positive :lol:

OMG Fel, you sound exactly like me! I had m/c last December and am 10 wks pg today so don't have my scan for another 2 weeks and I am so scared that somehow my body has made this whole pg thing up and when I have my U/S they are going to tell me there is nothing in there. Crazy I know. My ms was really bad for about 4 weeks and over the last week or so it has eased off a lot. I still get hungry and I am tired because I am restless (maybe not enought exercise) but other than that, I am not queasy all day like I used to be. I am sure we are both fine and that there will be a gorgeouse little bub in there waving hello at us.

Let us know how it goes on Friday. xx

shell belle
its nice to know that im not going insaine. im glad other people feel the same way its so scary ! i havent had an u/s at all yet and as for the cramping just light every now and then thankyou for your reply good luck with yours.

tinsel,
that is exactley how i feel it is scary isnt it thanx for your reply like i said to shell belle its good to know people feel the same way and have the symptoms it puts your min to ease a bit !

fel23y and shelle belle

i will be 12wks tomorrow.. and my m/s and sore bb have almost dissapeared!

I am very worried because i have some slight cramping on my right side this morning...

I have my first ob appointment tomorrow and i don't even know if i will be getting a scan as this is all new to me (my last pg only lasted until 8wks)

i will let you know how i go tomorrow.

hang in there, i'm sure that our bodies are just getting used to the hormones going around it so thats why the symptoms are dissapearing slowly. :)

sirenz,
i wish you the best of luck for tommorow sometimes cramps are just your body prepareing it self for the growth of your baby ! :hug: let us know how you go

Hi!

I'm new to this site but am in the same boat.. I will be 12 weeks on Friday and have my 12 week ultrasound on Tuesday.

My M/S has also disappeared and boobs are not sore anymore either....

I lost my last baby at 6 weeks so am well and truly past that, but am terrified of what I will see on Tuesday...

Such a relief I'm not the only one.. but horrible feeling for everyone!

Would love to hear how the other tests went....?

Cheers!

Amanda

I'm feeling exactly the same way. I did have a scan at 8 weeks where we got to hear the heart beat but i'm still very anxious about our 12 week scan. I've had 2 previous miscarriages and this time around i'm having no ms at all which is making me very nervous - never thought i'd be wanting myself to be sick!
I used to think all the waiting involved with TTC was bad but its nothing compared to this. Trying to stay positive...

Goodluck to those having their scans soon - i look forward to hearing how you all went :D

I am hearing you girls!!!! I too am pg after a m/c last Aug. I lost my baby a couple of days before my 12 week scan so had no idea! Although I am having a scan tomorrow (8wks) I still wont feel "safe" until I get past the time I lost my last baby. It is such a worrying time & we analyse every little thing. It is so good to know we are not alone in this fear but all we can do is think positively & the rest is up to the universe. That said all our bubs will be tucked up nice & tight with strong heartbeats. Good luck to all!!

Hello Ladies...

Has anyone had their tests yet??? Am getting a bit nervous...

It's all so different from 8 years ago...

Hope you're all well...

Hi Guys, I was just about to post a new thread asking the same questions!! I lost my first baby at 5.5 weeks and relaxed a little after I reached that point, then I found i had a subchoronic bleed which I have had to u/s for (last one at 8 wks) - im due for my 12 scan in 3 weeks and my m/s has dropped off in the last two days - my boobs are tender and my belly swellling in the afternoons and all of a sudden I can eat more than half a bannana! - but Im also scared that this is bad news.

I feel a little reassured reading you also have the same things happening. Looking forward to hearing how you go at the scan.

Hi guys, I am going in for a check up scan on tuesday then if that goes well (think it will) 12 week scan on Friday. My cramps have eased off now, only get one or two pulls a day now.M/s keeps coming back when I think it has stopped and i was very sick yesterday (vomited) and on Thursday... So I am feeling pretty good now. Will keep you all posted! Ps, my ticker is a few days ahead I am 11 weeks 2 days

Hello Ladies,
Just thought I would pop in and share my thoughts. I had bad cramping at 10 weeks then suddenly they completely went away. So did the nausea, and even the sore BBs. I panicked and went and saw my OB, paranoid about what I had read on missed mcs etc. She did a U/S and bubs was perfect, she just said it is common around this time for symptoms to go away, but better to be safe than sorry!

Looking into a bit more, the chances of actually having a missed mc is very tiny in comparison to the normal chances of mc. I know it happens, and it is very sad when it does, but luckily there is usually signs that indicate an impending mc other than lack of symptoms.

Good luck to you all at your 12 weeks scans, I am sure it will turn out fine for you all!

Fel23y - your EDD must be very similar to mine!

Lots of us in early Dec belly group have noticed our symptoms dropping off & some cramping. (I haven't had much cramping, but my m/s stopped at 8 or 9 weeks). I had a scan on Sat (at 11 weeks, 3 days) & everything was fine! :)

Hi all! Just a quickie to let you know that my scan yesterday was fantactic, bubs had hands and feet and everything seems perfect. So happy and relieved, I slept for 13 hours last night to make up for the lost sleep from stressing. SO it just goes to show, I shouldn't have freaked out as much as I did.

Good luck for everyone else having scans soon xxx
Shell.

hello all.. just letting you all know, my scan went really well.. and the NT results are excellent.. the Dr said we are really cooking up a real trooper.. lol.

best wishes to all of you who are yet to have their scans.

hey girls,
had my 12 week ultrasound today i can stop worrying now that i seen my babys heart beat and it was moveing all around .dont get my results till next fri but now i seem more positive than negative ! what was the mesurements for your baby in the 12 weeks scan my one is 9.6 cm ? goodluck to you all in your pregnancys!:bellyrubs:

Hi Fel,

I'm from the sunny Central Coast too! Congrats on getting a great result at your 12week scan.
It's only early days for me but I'm absolutely petrified at getting my 7 week scan already!

Take care,

April :)

I had my 12 week scan yesterday - and I had reason to worry because I'm 39yo!!

With my first baby (1 year ago) I had to wait until my next ob appointment to get the results... but with this one the clinic phoned me that evening!!!

For a 39yo the down syndrome risk is: 1 : 83
but they combined the u/s & bloods and MY risk was: (drumroll).... 1 : 1676 !!!!

I was so relieved!!!

It was nice to see the hands & the feet and I now can't wait until the 20 week scan !!!

I'm not sure of the measurement - but he said it was exactly on target for his (original) due date. (I'm going early for EC/S)

Congratulations Jodie! That's great news!!

Fey23 - which measurement are you talking about? Bean's CRL (Crown-Rump Length) was 4.7cm - but then he was 11 weeks, 3 days at the scan - not 12 weeks.

Sorry - dodgy typing on your name fel23y

My baby measured 6.1cm at exactly 12 weeks. Good luck everyone!

Hi Ladies,

Just dropping by really quickly to let you all know my results are back.

My Dr is really happy with the results... My risk is 1:4914!!!

No more stressing now... just enjoying this little baby growing inside my belly....

Best wishes to all of you....

Amanda :bellygrowing:

So glad to hear all your scans went well. I'm due for mine next Wed, ill be 12 weeks to the day and can't wait for it to be here, I'm sick of analysing everything and thinking something is wrong when im sure and by going from your posts, that it will all be fine!

Lesh - we're having our 12 weeks scan on Wednesday to! Goodluck, i'm sure it will all be fine :D

i had my 12 week scan 2 days ago and what a relief to see bub's heart beating and watching it do somersaults! My CRL was 6.7cm and was dated at 13weeks when i thought i was only 12weeks 2 days. Im sticking with my EDD from cycle - as i have a higher chance of going early then!!

Oh this thread has saved me from a complete meltdown!! It is very encouraging to read such positive outcomes from fading symptoms. I've been petrified since Friday. I haven't been all that sick (just nausea) since pretty early on but in the last few days I have actually not felt too bad and the need for something in my belly 24/7 has disappeared. I was nothing short of convinced that I was having a 'missed miscarriage'. I still have very sore (.)(.) and extreme tiredness sets in shortly after lunchtime. We had a scan at 6 weeks and everthing was fine (heartbeat etc) and our first ob appt is 2.5 weeks away.

I'll be keeping a close eye on this thread to see how everyone else gets on :)

hi ladies, got all my results back my risks 1: 19,000 but have changed my edd now 11th dec instead of the 5th dec but im gonna stick with my original edd lol !

Hi guys,

We had our scan today and it was all good! I was certain that it wasnt going to be and got myself so worked up yesterday and last night but when the scan came on the baby was there and heart beating strongly away! We were told that baby's heat beat is really strong, and low risk for downs and looking perfect.

My bleed/clot has gone also and my placenta is lying high which is a good thing.

Hubby and I went shopping all afternoon and finally told all our friends. Really excited now. We have watched the dvd about 100 times!

hi all,
this is my first post on this forum, only registered yesterday.
i am 9wks pregnant and am very nervous about the whole thing as i had two m/c's two years ago, one after the other, it was a very traumatic time. somehow this time things seem a lot better, but there is always that worry in the back of your mind.
i am booked in to have my transnuchal scan done on the 27/6 due to my age (im a grand old 40yo lol) and i hope that this brings both me and my dh and family much happiness. everything is very exciting, but until the u/s is complete and i have the results, i will be very anxious.
this will be my current partners 1st baby and he is very excited, so i hope for his sake that this bub is happy and healthy. i feel like i am carrying an elephant in here lol, seem to be quite large for my dates, but admittedly this is my 6th baby on the way (not including the m/c's).
anyway, best of luck to all those mums out there that are having scans etc done and i hope all goes well with you all.
oh and btw, this is a great place, all i could find before was american sites! its good to find somewhere close to home.
cheers to you all, and good luck with bubs.
