Worrying

I'm so worried about miscarrying again. I am feeling fine in the sense that I have morning sickness like crazy, but I do have some mild cramping. I know its normal, but I'm still so worried. This new OB I'm going to wants to see me on Friday when I will be 5 weeks 6 days to do an ultrasound and see how things are going. I feel like thats really early to see anything on an ultrasound and if I don't see a heartbeat I'm afraid I will lose it. A huge part of me wants to call and say I can't make it this week and reschedule for next so there is a better chance of seeing a heartbeat.

How early did you see a heartbeat on an ultrasound?

Any tips on soothing the worry?

 

I think 6 weeks is about the earliest they say you can see a heart beat, but I have heard of people seeing it earlier. My RE has people come in between 6-7 weeks to do a heart beat check, and tends to like it closer to 7 weeks, just to take away the worry if you go in a little to early and don't see a heart rate. So depending on how you think your doc will respond if you don't see the heart beat, you could either go for the appt and hope if you dont' see it (which would be ok and normal), that your doc would let you come back again next week. Or you could try to reschedule for next week hoping that by waiting it will give you a more clear picture.

As for the worrying, it never ends for me! After sufferring infertility, miscarriages, and an ectopic pregnancy and loss of a tube, it's hard to keep calm. I just try to stay busy with my other two, which is easy to do, and this pregnancy is now flying by! I hope the best for you! Hang in there. :grouphug:

 

I would wait a week. Your chances of seeing the heartbeat will be much better. I did go late in my 5th week and there was no heartbeat. But, there it was a week later. It didn't concern me because I knew the chances were low that early.

As for worrying, I don't think there's much anyone can tell you that will take it away. I did not have a prior miscarriage, but I did have a very traumatic, premature birth of my twins, so it was difficult not to fear that. I just tried hard to stay optimistic and focus my mind on other things. All went well and I'm sure it will for you too.

 

I would wait a week also. Most he will see is the fetal pole. Less if you ovulate late. I ovulate a week late always! Say your little ones are sick an you can't make it. Then breath and relax. The sucker you are the stronger the baby is. I have Ali of cramping when I'm on my feet too much. Cramping can be from expanding so fast could be multiples again. I'll pray for a sticky bean(s) for you.

Stupid phone and auto correct!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks ladies

I just called and changed my appointment to next Friday so I should be 6 weeks 5 days. I was very excited that they had an english speaking receptionist working today or the process could have been more difficult!

I'm feeling so much worse today! Yes, morning sickness makes me excited My husband says, "Sick wife means healthy baby!"

 

I'm really sorry for your previous loss. It has to be really scary. I was going on seven weeks when I went for an ultrasound with this pregnancy. I'm having twins again. You could see two little pieces of rice with heart beats and their yolk sacs. Going later is better.
