Yikes! 12 week appt. tomorrow...

Hey everyone!

As if this first 12 weeks haven't been long and anxiety-filled enough, this DAY has felt like its taken f-o-r-e-v-e-r to get through. I have a 3 hour appointment tomorrow (intial nurse consult/history, physical, 12wk u/s) and I'm filled with worry. I am trying so hard to be positive and keep my head up..but the reality of it all is just so scary. My m/c happened at 6 weeks..and I've had 2 u/s since where we've seen that precious little heartbeat..but I haven't had an u/s since 8 weeks. I'm also on progesterone which my doctor explained can "prolong a bad pregnancy" so that I wouldn't find out about it until an u/s. Overall, I do have a good feeling about this pregnancy (which I didn't have with my last), but tomorrow still can't come soon enough. If all goes well, we are looking forward to sharing our news tomorrow afternoon. I have prayed so hard all day long that we're able to do just that. Thanks for letting me share my worries...it's so comforting to do it here where (sadly) everyone understands.

Hugs and belly rubs to all of you!

Stephanie,

I can certainly understand your concerns. But this pregnancy is going very well for you, and you have two good ultrasounds to prove it. I'll be thinking about you tomorrow (in between my own panic attacks :)) and looking forward to reading your good update. Bringing home those 12 wk u/s pictures tomorrow will be fun. I hope they do the u/s before your long appt!

Hi Stephanie,
I know, the time between u/s feels like an eternity! I had one at 7 weeks then again at 12 weeks, and I thought it would never come. Sending you lots of positive thoughts today...please let us know how everything went as soon as you can!
