anyone else feel nervous about your first pregnancy and U/S?

 I have no idea why but im so nervous that im going to go get my first U/S and nothing is going to be there or my pregnancy would be an ectopic one. Has anyone else felt the same way about their pregnancy?  I just keep praying and have faith that everything is fine and that this is just every woman's fear. Of course, weird thing is I knew I was pregnant before I even took a test..Odd thing is I woke up one day and just blurted out "Omg Im pregnant!" My husband said I must be dreaming and go back to sleep..I went back to sleep and a week later..I tested because I missed my period and sure enough my test was Positive. So if my mind was telling me I am pregnant...why would my mind be thinking that nothing is there or maybe something wrong? Uugghh my hormones are crazy also right now..

Hello!

Congrats on your baby, I had the RNY 8/25/08 and I am expecting my first child 12/19. I am very happy. I had my first u/s at 9 weeks which was very cool because I was able to see the baby it was just like a little bean. However it makes you feel good that in fact there is someone growing inside of you. I see the doc every 4 weeks, I was very up front about my surgery so I had my doc refer to a ob gyn that understood the bypass. I am to find out the gender of the baby in 2 weeks, this week is my 18th week. I can tell you I feel hungry all the time. Well good luck!!

QueenDee,

I can totally relate to the constant nervous feeling. I had an u/s at 5 weeks due to me having to visit the ER a week ago, so I saw the yolk sac, etc, but I'm nervous that I'm not getting enough nutrition absorbed due to me only being 7 months out from WLS. Everyday I worry if I'm going to  miscarry due to lack of nutrition (I'm not sure if that would make you miscarry, nonetheless I worry). I take all my prenatals and Iron and have up'd my calories to 1695, but I still feel like it might not be enough. I'm a worry warden until I get through the first trimester and then I'll relax. I don't recommend any woman to get pregnant this early out. I urge them to use MULTIPLE forms of protection, cause this is a risk. I pray that we both get through this and have faith in whom ever we pray to will carry us through. My momma always said "your worry is your wand" so let's stop worry together :) . We'll be okay...I promise :)

Good luck sweetie,
Gina

I am terrified at every ultrasound that they'll find somethign wrong. I am not getting enough calories in, most of the time I end up in pain from trying to eat enough. So, I worry I am not giving the baby enough nutrition. But, then at every appointment, they find the baby growing normally and everything looking good.

Still doesn't take the worry away! It's normal :)

 Thanks so much for the replies..I am going to have faith and try not to worry. 

I had my first US at a little over 7 weeks. I was very nervous too. This is my first (and last) pregnancy. I had no clue what to expect. Looking at the US, I couldn't see anything that resembled a baby, that's for sure!! Looked like a blob.

The only think my doc did that first appointment was measure the "blob" and give me my due date based on the measurements.

I worry constantly that something is wrong with my little guy. I'm older (almost 37), so I have that going against me too. But so far everything is fine and all the US and tests have been fine.

I am renting a fetal heart doppler from babysheart.com so I can listen to my boy's heart beat at anytime. It is $20/month. I started listening to the heart beat at 10 weeks. It's really been a life saver when I get to worrying too much!!

Best wishes.
