The things that go through your head before your first ultrasound:
- What if there isn't anything in there?
- Will we see a heartbeat?
- Could it be twins?
- How will the doctor treat me?
- What will we do if it doesn't go well?
- Will I stop worrying if everything looks perfect?
- Will I ever stop worrying?
It's hard not worrying. I feel like having a miscarriage poisoned me and is keeping me from being able to enjoy this pregnancy without being constantly worried that it's going to happen again.
The good news is that we had an awesome ultrasound! We only have one baby in there, and I am measuring right at 5 weeks 6 days, which is almost exactly where I estimated I would be. We even saw the flickering heartbeat! It brought tears to my eyes, and when I looked over at my husband, he was in tears too. We both breathed a sigh of relief, but I know that the anxiety will come back soon.
I have another ultrasound in 2 weeks to confirm viability and the due date, and I am hoping that the time flies by!
