Rethinking u/s date?

[Jennifer B]

Okay, now I'm being paranoid.

I started thinking about my u/s appt., thinking after vacation would be better, but now I'm seconding guessing myself and wondering if I should call and try and get in before we go? I don't know if I can make it another 2.5 wks wondering.....I don't know. I keep expecting the worse, esp. whenever I go to the bathroom now.

Maybe it's good that I'm so emotional, my hormones are supposed to be all wacky, but I just can't seem to shake my fear this time. And if I go at the end of next week, I'll be almost 7 wks, they should see something by then, right? I don't know, what do you guys think?

I had a U/S at about 7 weeks and saw a heartbeat. If you really can't wait until you get back then reschedule, BUT, if you don't see a hb (it may still be too early) then I guess you would be worried sick all through your holiday. Maybe the holiday would distract you enough that you could wait until you got back?

OK - now I've reread your earlier post I see that I am basically repeating everything you already said!

Sorry, I'm no help at all!

I think that blissful ignormance is a good thing sometimes. So it depends on if you can enjoy your vacation without the u/s!! Either way, I hope that everything is wonderful and that you have a great time!!

I was dealing with this exact same thing. I'm due around the same time as you and when I spoke with my drs office a few weeks ago they said to schedule an u/s for this week (wk of 6/4). They said at this point their pretty sure we would see a hb.

So, after talking with the nurse I started thinking about this. I decided to put it off for one more week - I scheduled it for 6/11. I just thought there is nothing I can do at this point so what is one more week. This whole pregnancy is going to be about waiting for certain dates or milestones and I'm not going to rush it because it's not going to change that fact. I really want to be confident about this pregnancy and I just needed this week to help with that. I know it doesn't make a lot of sense but that is how I'm dealing with it. I've also had a m/c after seeing the hb and also lost a baby at 30wks so seeing it now really isn't going to make me feel like I am "safe". I'm sure I will feel better but it's not like it's going to change much for me.

I'll also be at the dr at least every 2wks after the first trimester so this is my time to just relax and to try to be confident. Of course, this week I've been thinking, maybe I should reschedule for this week but I'm not going to. The 11th will be here soon enough.

Good luck in your decision. If you will feel better and less stressed maybe you should reschedule.
