My doctor gave me the glucose drink already, so I'm just going to drink it a half hour before my appointment. He told me also to make sure not to have a big carb dinner the night before and no eating 2-3 hours before. But I'm going to call his office just to make sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-anxiousscared-still-for-ultrasounds#post-42317 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 23:36:50 +0000 tequiero21 42317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: haha. me too! doing it on the 2nd. how exactly are you preparing for it except for no sweets during the day? my appointment is at 10, i'm supposed to get there an hour early. and i think stop eating at 7 or so? i forget. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-anxiousscared-still-for-ultrasounds#post-42042 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 17:51:25 +0000 mrsjazz 42042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: 25 weeks, too and I'm less paranoid, too, since feeling the baby regularly.</p> <p>I would always walk into an appointment thinking the doctor was going to tell me the worst once he put that wand on my belly. It's crazy how much of a rollercoaster ride pregnancy is.</p> <p>But now I'm worried about flunking the gestational diabetes test! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-anxiousscared-still-for-ultrasounds#post-42034 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 17:28:17 +0000 tequiero21 42034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm 25 weeks and i've always been scared to see what they'd say at U/Ss. but now that i feel regular movement, i'm not as paranoid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-anxiousscared-still-for-ultrasounds#post-41941 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 14:03:40 +0000 Nskillet 41941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ladies thanks for posting to not make me feel like a total weirdo!</p> <p>@Artbee I feel the same way! Ever since the doctor has on occasion had a hard time finding the heartbeat with a doppler I find myself holding my breath too. </p> <p>DH and I are so excited to see our little critter on Thursday its been torture so far to wait!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-anxiousscared-still-for-ultrasounds#post-41920 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 12:56:59 +0000 heffalump 41920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was always terrified. I wouldn't breath until I saw that heart beat. </p> <p>Good luck with your anatomy scan, it will be so fun for you to get to see your LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-anxiousscared-still-for-ultrasounds#post-41820 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 10:06:14 +0000 cascademom 41820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so eager and nervous for our first one on January 12th. I just want to know for sure that our little watermelon seed is happily growing and thriving. I just want less anxiety and to get to 12 weeks knowing that we've got a healthy baby growing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-anxiousscared-still-for-ultrasounds#post-41817 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 09:58:56 +0000 winniebee 41817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me. I am over 18 weeks and we have our anatomy scan on Friday 12/30 but I haven't felt much movement yet. A few tickles here and there but nothing definite. I don't have an anterior placenta that I know of. I try to focus on my growing belly and the fact that many women don't feel movement until week 22 or later </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-anxiousscared-still-for-ultrasounds#post-41807 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 09:32:38 +0000 sera_87 41807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't even had my first ultrasound yet. I'm FREAKING out that the baby is in the wrong place. </p> <p>Actually, I should get off the computer &amp; start heading to the clinic so I can get a req !</p> <p>ETA: I mean I haven't had any symptoms or anything to indicate that the baby is in the wrong place, I'm just .... uh, freaking out regardless. Ya know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-anxiousscared-still-for-ultrasounds#post-41806 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 09:30:40 +0000 chopsuey 41806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exciting!! I remember being anxious and excited for my anatomy scan!! I'm sure your LO will be perfect. Just 2 more days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-anxiousscared-still-for-ultrasounds#post-41801 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 09:14:58 +0000 Mrsbells 41801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its normal to feel anxious in between ultrasounds. they are always reassuring when you get to see the baby and hear their heartbeat. I didnt really feel my baby move much until after the first attempt at the anatomy scan. By the end of week 20 I was feeling her moving a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-anxiousscared-still-for-ultrasounds#post-41796 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 08:31:18 +0000 mediagirl 41796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get it. I'm worried about ours!! I guess it's all of the sad stories I have read about late pregnancy miscarriages and such. Sometimes I wish I didn't have the internet...even though I don't know where I would be without it. Mine is on January 12th and it cannot get here fast enough. I guess it doesn't help that I'm waiting for my second trimester blood work results to come back either....</p> <p>Good luck at your appointment this week - I'm sure you'll be FINE! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-anxiousscared-still-for-ultrasounds#post-41792 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 08:18:31 +0000 Nskillet 41792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alright, so 12/29 is our anatomy scan, YAY! I can't help but feel 1/2 extremely excited and 1/2 petrified. Having an AP (Anterior Placenta) I think has made me more paranoid because I can't really feel the baby that well. I feel occasional bumps/vibrations but nothing to let me know they're OK in there. I guess I'm always paranoid they're going to take that wand out and the baby will have magically disappeared or they'll find something wrong.</p> <p>Did anyone else experience these lunatic feelings? Thursday can't come soon enough! </p>
