Pregnant And Worried! (first Ultrasound)
Posted: 02-21-06 17:56pm

Hi everyone! Just looking to chat with some other expectant mums as I haven't told any of my friends that I am preggers! Waiting to be sure that everything is going well.

In two days I have my first ultrasound and I am so worried that the baby won't be there or there will be something wrong. (last pregnancy was a miscarriage). I am finding it really hard to be excited and plan ahead for the future.

I have morning sickness still and sore breasts though I find it hard to believe that there is a baby growing inside me when I can't even feel it! I am 11 weeks on friday. When do you think I will get a bump and just cause I can't feel it yet means it still is there? Right?
At 8 weeks I had a mini ultrasound in the gynos office and the baby had a stong heart beat so I am praying that it is still going strong!

Anyone else worried all the time like me or am I just being silly?

Before I had my first ultrasound I would always say to my husband "what if they look and there is just nothing in there?" he always laughed at me, but I was seriously paranoid about it. Even after that I was still a bit paranoid, even though I was getting bigger. Now i'm 29 weeks and I think the whole thing is just funny. Maybe it's because I can feel like little bugger moving in there all the time.

Good luck though, I hope everything is fine with the baby.

yeah I did the same thing, I even had an incident where I was bleeding and I was so afraid on my way to the hospital that the baby wasnt in there anymore (it scared me to death) I was so relieved to see it :)~ im 13 weeks now... And so far things are going good, but im like you...I get nervous when gettin ready to go to the Dr. Hehehe goodluck babe*~

My hubby and I lost our last baby too and I have been feeling alot like you have been feeling. I was really worried that they wouldnt' find anything and at my last visit I thought that they might not find my skoot's heartbeat and then he/she wouldn't be in there. I am 16 weeks and still can't feel my skoot move. I do have quite a little bump and at night when I lay on my back I can feel (with my hand) him/her really well because my tummy gets really hard. But I can't feel my skoot move around kicking and stuff and I am getting desperate to fee him move so that I can know on a daily basis that he/she is alive and well.

12 more days till we find out what our skoot is. Yay.

Well tomorrow is the big ultrasound and I have been worrying all morning. I really pray that everything is ok! My dog is about to give birth to her first litter any day now so thats a good distraction from my pregnancy! Lol!
Goodluck with all of your pregnancies ladies! Thanks for the replies. Glad to know I am not the only stress head out here!

I think all of us had that paranoia phase when we coudn't feel the baby on a daily basis....

I make 31 weeks on friday and I feel her all of the time....Seriously...It's getting to the point where it hurts a lot of the time....She scares me a lot too!! Lol...Yalls babies will def. Start moving all day long whether you like it or not!! So just sit back and relax and enjoy this experience....( I didn't relax until I was about 27 weeks!!!) lol....Everything will be fine!!

Good luck and let us know what the sex is if you find out!!

The worry is killing me. I have seroius anxiety over this pregnancy. I am not sure if I could do this again.

I go for a level ii ultersound and I am so scared the dr will say the baby is gone.

I asked my dr about the stress level that I am having about loosing this baby too and he told me that it won't go away until I have the baby. He said that it will be eased at the ultrasound when they tell me everything is ok. I think its normal....To stress but to goal is to not stress to the point of raising your blood pressure.

Well the baby looks good! It was moving all around though it wouldn't straighten out for an accurate measurement. It likes to wave its arms around. Heart beat was 180 beats? Is that ok? 20 weeks and I can find out the sex, the little devil wouldn't put its legs down and give us a look!
Spent the rest of the day imagining that the ultrasound upset the bub and because I didn't get morning sickness this afternoon I am a bit panicky again! Am I stupid or what?
Have decided not to tell my hubbies family and our friends until about 4 months. I want to be safe rather than sorry again!
How is everyone else coping today?

Glad everything went well for u. How much longer til 20 weeks 4 u?I thought 130-170 was normal but if your doc didnt say ne thing then im sure its fine. I heard if its over 150 its a girl and thats was true for me until last weeks visit when this boy was 160's. (old wives tale im sure)

I know that it's a really big cliche but I don't care as long as he/she is healthy. My hubby wants a boy though. However as long as we get to have this one, I know we won't care.

By the way, tigres, did you ever talk to your hr department regarding the 6-8 weeks off of work?

Yeah, they said that I can technically take as much time as my doc wants me to take. Basically that if she doesn't clear me, then I can't come back until she does. Which is cool so I can stay home with my blue m&m.

that's wierd. I heard the same wives tale, but opposite. My husbands aunt told me if it's over 150 it's a boy. I don't believe that anyway.

That's why it's an old wives tale...Lol....

Everyone's old wives tell them this and it's totally false... It just happens to be coincidense (sp?)

it's just like the heartburn means the baby will have a lot of hair...If that's true...My baby will be chubaca!!! Cuz i've been suffering from intense heartburn since my 5th month...And I got 9 loooong weeks to go!!!

28th of april is 20 weeks for me! Long way to go yet! I have had a really strong feeling that it was a girl and so has my mum though now I am doubting myself and I really don't have a clue! My husband wants a boy desperately! I will be happy with a healthy baby no matter what sex! I always liked the idea of a little girl because I love pink clothes!
Hopefully the heart beat was so high at 180 cause the little one was moving around so much! Don't really know!?!

Hi! Milly that great, just don't forget yourself. You can spoil and pamper yourself talk to someone who has more experienced that can help you. And it wasn’t just a exercise, having questions that can fit for you. You can check this one http://www.Industryniche.Com/recommend s/pregnancywithoutpounds.Html for more details and better understanding

And beside you can explain it to your husband. It will works just take a try
