Ok, the other u/s is me. I am absolutely terrified. I am shaking this morning. I woke up repeatedly after horrible nightmares last night. I know it's not good for my baby (or babies) to be so distraught but I can't help it. I just NEED to see at least one heartbeat today. My appt is at 3:00. It was tough getting through to this point but knowing it's so close ... well, today is by far the worst wait even though I'm finally going today (if that makes any sense!). Well, I'll have to somehow get through the day and I'll be praying all the way there. Oh why can't it be 3:00 already! Karen

44 - Thank God! I am so happy to hear that you are so sick and you saw a heartbeat. I told my dh about your situation, and we did not see heartbeats the first u/s we had....I totaly didn't remember, because I didn't know it was possible to see heartbeats at this stage. Anyways, I am rambling...but so thrilled for you!
Karen - Good luck today! The waiting never ends....keep us posted on the results.

44- Wow, what a roller coaster you've been through. I'm sure that both babies are going to be fine and you're going to be a very busy mom again in 8 months!! I wish there were a pill to stop the worrying and the constant checking for blood every time you use the restroom (I'm 32 weeks and I still look!!!) My thoughts and prayers are with you!!!
Karen - can't wait to see how your u/s goes.
much love and prayers to everyone who has conceived and for those who are still trying. much love Jen
Well today is my ultrasound and I am so nervous! I have mentally prepared myself for bad news, isn't that terrible that I am afraid to be excited. I think then I won't be so hurt. I just want to be happy and enjoy being pregnant I feel the minute I am something will happen. My first pregancy I miscarried after we had a heartbeat so even if I get one today can I relax, yet that was before they did genetic testing and found out about the clotting problem, the other two I was on lovenox and still miscarried. This one they have doubled the dose and kept me on baby asiprin. I hope it makes a difference this time!!! I am so glad I have this site to express all these emotions! Well everyone keep your fingers crossed and I pray I come on later with good news!!!!!!!!!

Well I got a heartbeat, but I have to have a ultrasound every week until I am 10 weeks. He doesn't want me to be too excited yet ,so I won't be able to relax until then. I am so happy there was a little heartbeat knowing that I hadn't made it this far since the first pregnancy. I have a feeling it will be a long 4 weeks of wondering every week if everything is ok until that ultrsound!!

Congratulations on your little blinker! I'm glad the doc is going to take good care of you oneandonly. May I ask why you can't get too excited? I think seeing the tiny white light on the monitor has to be the most amazing feeling. They are so small! Truly a miracle. Again, congrats! Take good care of yourself! cassandra

oneandonly, GREAT news!!! Congratulations!!! I think you should be very excited! Believe me, I know the uneasiness and worry thinking every twinge is a problem but once you see the heartbeat, I feel that it's time to enjoy the pregnancy and just believe that all will be fine. I hold my belly every day and tell my babies to be strong and I know it probably sounds silly but I really feel like it helps. Of course I pray all the time too and take very good care of myself. oneandonly I think you deserve to be happy at this point. I know that problems can arise after a heartbeat is seen but the majority of babies are fine once they get to that point. I wish you the best and hope you can enjoy this special time. Karen

Congratulations on seeing the h/b. It makes you feel better, but you always have reservations. I had previous m/c's so I still worry even though I am 18 wks. p/g. I wish I had my own doplar to listen to the h/b everyday!!!
You are such a strong and brave person to never give up hope:) I am saying prayers that you have an uneventful healthy p/g. Take Care and congratulations on hearing and seeing that beautiful h/b.
Im so happy for you.....let yourself enjoy this. It's an amazing time. I know it's also a very anxious time but try to relax for your sake and the babies.

mel - I am so happy to read your post. This is a special time for you. I know it is hard to relax, but this is just one more sign that a baby is on its way to your arms.
