12+2 week ultrasound worried

momofSOONtobe7

Well here goes nothing. We are heading to my 12 week ultrasound for the triscan. Back in march this scan is where we found out I was carrying a lifeless child. I haven't been feeling myself I've been scared worried and just can't attach myself to this baby yet bc im scared to death to miscarry again. Is this wrong of me? The last miscarriage took a huge toll on me. I think when I feel the baby move ill be a lot more excited. My emotions are scattered my hormones are raging and I just don't know what to think. In my heart im some what excited but my brain is telling me to hold off on getting excited. For some reason I just can't get over the negative thoughts and its driving me nuts.. hoping this ultrasound goes well bc it may reassure me a little more.. I just don't get it.. im so confused. :-?

I think its only natural to have those thoughts...I had a BO and had to have a DNC before this pregnancy. Got pregnant 4 months later and when we had the first u/s they said baby was measuring small....and I thought oh no not again....and I couldn't relax until the next one. And now I am 32 weeks.....ur having natural feelings....just try to relax andi pray you get great news today so you can enjoy your pregnancy!

We lost a baby in march. When i found out i was prego again in may i refused to get excited. When they didn't find a heartbeat at 12 weeks i was convinced i wud go thru it again with this baby. BUT i am proud to say i am almost 19 weeks and find out the sex next fri. I kno exactly what u are going thru. I still at times am so worried about losing this baby. Mc strip u of the innocents of pregnancy but make you so more appreciative when thing go right!!! Prayers for u

Your feelings are normal. When I found our about this lil guy I refused to get excited. Then after getting the green light that he was healthy I started getting happy about it. I still wasn't too excited until I was over that 21 week mark(when I lost my 2nd son).
Good luck today momma. My prayers are with you. Keep us updated.

Thank you ladies. I appreciate all the positive thoughts. Im so glad im not the only one. The mc sure did strip me of everything and I feel horrible bc of it. @mgrose ill have to check that out. Isn't that like a little heart monitor but also you can some what see the baby or am I thinking about something different. I thought that's what my old ob used it was just not as good as an actual u/s machine. Ill still check it out when im able to get to an actual computer.

**UPDATE**
Well had it done as well as the finger prick. The ultrasound went great (I think). She said the navy is already stubborn and a mover lol. Ill call the baby a he. Lol he would kick big time every time she would push or try to get a measurement. It was so cute and funny. His heart rate was 169. She really did a lot of measuring of the fluid behind his neck. I understand that's how they measure for down syndrome but kinda has me worried... ill love my baby regardless. The ultrasound today made me feel a bit better but still kind of scared. It was so cute to see him move and he would suck on his hands and ot looked almost like he was waving.. again ladies I appreciate

Yay! happy things are looking good :-)

Measuring of the fluid there as well as different measurements of the spine also help to rule out neural tube defects. You may also have a blood test around 16 weeks as part of the genetics screening. I assume you opted for the 1st trimester screen by the ultrasound done at 12 weeks.

Thanks ladies. Im hoping for a healthy pregnancy as well as baby. @misskristin yeah they asked if I wanted it dons and I said sure why not. It wont change my ways of doing away with the pregnancy if something is wrong but it also gave us the touch opportunity to see the little one.. she really concentrated more on the fluid behind in the back pf the neck. The baby was moving an awful lot. I recorded the u/s but my dumb phone didn't save it I was mad! I didn't really see her measure the spine not to mention we didn't see the heart beat either.. she said it was 169 but she never let is hear it or see the heart beat. I thought that was weird. But who am I. They did the finger prick and I think it did say I would have more done sat around 16 weeks..... so idk. The wait is on now I guess.... :!!

@momofsoontobe7 Hubby and I opted for the screening after having 2 first trimester miscarriages. I'm so glad we did, it was a weight off my mind.

kiwi_mom

Yay. Happy to hear good news:)

momofSOONtobe7

@misskristin I am happy to hear that. Hope all goes well for you!!! And thank you @kiwi_mom.... im still just wondering about the u/s today and how quiet the tech was. Kinda makes me wonder.... she said like a total of three sentences and I know silence can never be a good thing. So I guess we wait it out and see.
