Anyone else freaked about going to level 2 u/s?

I have a big u/s with a peri in two weeks and I am dreading it. Of course I want to see my babies, and I am DYING to find out the sexes, but I'm just convinced that she's going to tell me that there is something wrong...and then Im going to worry my head off about it...just to deliver two healthy babies. (Hopefully). The thing is, that even if I get some news of a disability, etc., it wouldn't change anything with the pregnancy...we wouldnt' terminate or anything like that, so I just feel like the worrying will drive me crazy.

Did anyone else feel that way? Does everyone get scary news at their peri?

 

I am not going to a peri, and I had a normal scan last week and I am going for a level 2 on Friday. I am also scared that they are going to find something wrong, but so far, I have been wrong about there being something wrong!

When I was 8 weeks, I wanted a u/s to make sure there was a baby (I had a blighted ovum before DD) but they said I didn't need one*. When I was 12 weeks, I was afraid we would not hear a HB at the appt. We heard one! When I was 16 weeks, I was afraid that we would not hear a HB.... but we heard one. At 19 weeks, I was afraid that there wouldn't be anything there at the u/s. Boy, was I wrong- they found twice as many babies as expected!

I felt the same way about my pregnancy with DD. I was always worrying, but now she's almost two and so sweet and smart and loving.


*If only they would have given me one! I wouldn't be so shocked by these surprise twins, but I bet I would have been worrying twice as much for the last 12 weeks!

 

I had my level 2/ peri apt last Wednesday and I was so worried! I was ok up until a couple days before then the realization of everything that could happen came crashing at me....I didnt sleep at all the night before just tossed and turned...Ugh... But thankfully everything went great.

Besides the horrible back pain of an hour and a half long u/s..... then the peri came in checked them again real quick asked a few questions, and said everything looks good for now and what to watch for as far as contractions. He was also great about answering questions, alot better than my ob who I love, its just the peri was very indepth with answers. I go back at 24 weeks were they will recheck everything and make sure the babies are growing and every month on.

Its normal to worry, I worry about everything and cannot wait till I pass the 24 week milestone! till at least I know worst case they come, I'll be paranoid everytime they go to check the heartbeat, do an u/s, dont move so I can feel it, or even if I feel extra discharge. I hate worrying all the time...Ugh!

Keep us updated on how everything goes and good luck keep all your thoughts positive because ods are everything will be ok!

 

:hug: The u/s were always very reassuring to me, and then the worry would set in again a few days later until the next one!

 

:hug: I think what you are feeling is totally normal. :hug: I'll be keeping you in my thoughts. I know things will go well, but it's never fun to worry.
