The stress is getting me down can anyone help

Hi everyone

This is my first post on here and I am sorry that is a ranty one.

I am currently 10+2 weeks pregnant with my first after a mmc 4 years ago.

When I was 6+4 I was taken into hospital as I was bleeding and was given a scan and was over the moon at seeing a heartbeat and everything was fine. A week later the same thing happend and I was taken in or another scan again everything was fine and the baby had doubled in size dates were spot on to the day and heart beating away. So they asked me to go back two weeks later for a re scan just to be sure. So after the longest 2 weeks of my life I went back and there it was still spot on with the dates @ 9+3 and heartbeating and I een got to hear it. It was the best moment o my life Iwent home all relaxed and chilled.

However I now have to wait till the 30 oct for what would have been my first dating scan and I will be 15 weeks then. I am cracking up incase something happens in that time and I won't know about it till then.

Is the fact that I heard a heart @ 9 weeks good and the fact that dates are correct too. Any advice will most welcomed and I am scared as to what the stress I am putting myself under will do to my lil one.

Thanks in advance

Hey hun

My advice prob wont be much help as i havent been through what u have but im a huge worrier in general so i invested in a angels sound fetal doppler. I bought it on ebay for £26 with gel and its the best thing i ever did. When ever i wana hear bubbas heart beat to reassure me i can. Even now i still use it just to hear bubs heart beat and even hear her moving now

Hey

i was exactly the same.

i had a mc and then when i fell preg again i was sooo worried, i had a scan at 7 weeks and seen the hb wich was amazing but i knew i would be 13 weeks before the next scan and was bigtime stressed that something would happen between then and the not knowing was literally killing me. after a lot of thought i invested in a doppler the angel sounds one got it off amazon for about £30 or so inc gel and personally it was the best thing for me, picked up bubs hb at 10 weeks and was reassured every time i was having that little freaker attack that u get prior to scan!!!
theyre not for everyone as some people think they cause undue stress if it cant be found but u can weigh up the pros and cons for urself.i just thought id give it a go it def reduced my stress levels big time, i think looking back i woulda been a wreck without it lol and i know how bad stress can be for bubsso i thought y not!!
its def really positive that u seen hb at 9 weeks but equally i think its important just to take one day at a time it seemed more manageable for me that way.
anyway im rambling on a bit here but if u decide to get a doppler i can certainly give u some advice about how to etc etc if u need it!!

good luck and hope u stay calm, but for me i think i will only truely relax when bubs is here safe and well!!!lol!!even after scan there are still days when i think stupid thoughts,im currently counting down to next scan like an eejit!!!

take care

Me to

I lost twins quiet far into my pregnancy without any sign what so ever it was only when i went for a routine antenatal that we found out as the midwife couldn't find a heartbeat and we then had to go for a scan which confirmed the worst. I fall pregnant 6 weeks after losing the twins with my 3rd and i was a total mess i was very lucky that my doctors and hospital were very understanding whenever i felt uneasy about the baby i could pop along and they would listen in for me and i had sooooo many scans just to keep me from going mad. I did think about getting a doppler but i decided not to cos if i couldnt pick a heartbeat up i dread to think what i would have been like,

Your care team should be understanding under your circumstances explain to them you fears and im sure they will help you.

Im now pregnant again with baby number 4 and it wasnt any different i was still para until i started to feel the baby.

Take Care and have a chat with your care team i hope they are as supportive as mine,
