First u/s

So we had our first ultrasound on Thursday at 6 weeks and 1 day. I was a little disappointed because we only saw the sac. The baby has attached itself at the top or the fundus of my uterus. To make seeing anything harder my uterus is tilted. :::sigh::: The Dr. seemed to be confident that this is all he would expect to see based on those two things and my last LMP.

I however am not as confident as the Dr. I'm terrified that this Thursday when we go in at 7 weeks and 1 day we will find a blighted ovum or an empty sac. This accounts for 50% of all miscarriages. Miscarriages happen in 1 out of 4 pregnancies. Its so hard to stay positive all the time! On the nest baby (1st trimester board) so many of the girls at 6+ weeks have seen a HB (heartbeat). I'm scared.

Granted I surpassed the last time I m/c and I definitely feel more attached but that scares me even more of getting my hopes up and being disappointed in the end. We decided that we are going to wait to tell our parents another week. But I'm still going to give both moms grandmother cards for mother's day, just next week after our 2nd u/s. When we know everything is fine.

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
