We need a "nervous" icon!

So I'm doing well with keeping the "what if" thoughts at bay but from time to time they're overwhelming. I'm almost 5w along. With DD I didn't have any PS until then so the fact that I've got nothing really right now should not be a great concern.

I am thinking of calling my OB and letting them know about my previous m/c in hopes that it will get me in earlier than 8w and an u/s. With DD I had like five of them or so and with this one I have no idea (I had been seeing an RE in VA and now we live in CT).

I called my insurance and the referral is in hand just waiting to be approved (which it will be). I'd like to be seen asap but we're going out of town Thurs-Sun (and flying at that, which makes me nervous with a brand new pg) and so I am on the fence about calling to make an appt for next week because I'll think about it all weekend... or do I just wait until Monday to call to make my initial appt and then tell them about my nervousness and concerns and could they see me before 8w?

Help! By this post you'd think I'm completely obsessing and I'm trying so hard not to! I haven't told DH about these fears/feelings because I know he'll just say, "You're fine! Don't worry!" (Which next to no help!)

Thanks, gals!

Hey Jill,

I know the feeling! I would call and tell them your concerns and hopefully they will be willing to get you in earlier than 8 wks! I would call now, I know my dr office is crazy busy!! I'm also in CT, near Hartford. where are you?

Jill,


I think that you should call and ask them to get you in when you feel is the best time. Talk to them and explain everything that you have gone through and I am pretty sure that they will sneak you!

Of course you want to get in earlier. The fear of m/c never goes away no matter how many children we have afterwards. Call the doctor's office and remind them of your hx. I am sure they will get you in earlier and do an u/s. I went in for an appointment a couple of days after my BFP and had two u/s ...on at 6 1/2 weeks and one at 7 1/2 weeks. It really helped!!!

Lots of SBVs
