Q: Terrified of First Ultrasound

Some backstory - I had a missed miscarriage that emotionally wrecked me about a half a year ago. We had an ultrasound at 7 weeks and saw a healthy heart beat, then at 8 weeks I started spotting. Another ultrasound showed that the heartbeat had stopped and I miscarried shortly after that. Immediately after that miscarriage I had another miscarriage. Now I'm about 8 weeks pregnant again and have my first ultrasound in two days. My pregnancy symptoms have been declining, although so far there's been no spotting at all. I'm terrified that my ultrasound in two days will reveal another missed miscarriage. It's to the point of distracting me at work and I'm always on the verge of tears. Any advice on how to just get through the next two days until I know, one way or the other? Thank you.

I am in the same boat. You can never stop the fear, just try to remind yourself daily that you are pregnant and enjoy it day by day. I had a MMC 5 years ago. Saw he HB at 7w went back 12w and baby had stopped growing shortly after first US. I have another MC at 6 w back in March. I am now 10 weeks and have my first real apt on August 1st. I'm so scared to relive what happened 5 years ago but I keep telling myself everything is fine this time. This is the first pregnancy where I actually have real symptoms. Keep your chin up.
