I posted recently that I had suffered a miscarriage and then got pregnant immediately following my loss, which has been extremely difficult emotionally and mentally. I had some spotting around 5.5 weeks.

I had another dating scan this Wednesday and they saw a 7 week 3 day fetus with a heartbeat of 158. The ultrasound tech told me everything looked great including my gestational sac and yolk sac. She even scheduled me for a following up reassurance scan this coming Friday.

My anxiety comes and goes in waves. I try to be hopeful but I am always looking at the next “goal post” as to what could go wrong. The NT scan, NIPT test and anatomy scan the list goes on. Some times it’s day by day and sometimes it’s minute by minute.

Pregnancy after loss is harder than I imagined. Getting this out there again to anyone experiencing similar feelings so you know you’re not alone.

I recently went through a difficult pregnancy loss and the ultrasounds were extremely difficult/painful emotionally at that time. I then found out I was pregnant again and the tech I have had for this pregnancy is absolutely wonderful. I told my husband that if we were to have gotten bad news at this dating scan, I would’ve wanted it to come from her. She is just so gentle and kind. She speaks so soft and comforting. I genuinely don’t think I would’ve been able to go through with the last two scans if it weren’t for her.

With all that being said how do I thank her. As a nurse we can nominate for daisys and stuff like that, is there anything for ultrasound?

Had a very recent loss on my birthday, nonetheless. I am pregnant again very early and recently had murky brown to light pink spotting after intercourse. This lasted approximately 2-3 days. My dating scan isn’t until Monday and here I sit surprising not so anxiously waiting to see if this is a viable pregnancy.

My husband remains hopeful whereas I guess I’m just guarded. It’s either a loss or not and there isn’t anything I can do about it.

I’ve been busying myself with my favorite shows and family this time around. Few people know and I’ve just been enjoying the weather. I hope to have positive news on Monday, but I’ve never been one to be on the good side of statistics. I guess I’m just writing this because it feels good to get it out in a place where others are having similar experiences and feelings.

I’ve typed and posted this before and deleted it because I don’t know why honestly. I’m just trying to get through this day by day.
