Is anyone else coming up on their first appointment after a pregnancy loss?

I had my first loss at about 6 weeks. Currently I am 7 weeks and 2 days. My next appointment is in a few weeks. I am very anxious.
@Rose oh a 10-week appointment! Have you thought about getting hcg blood draws for peace of mind? Private clinics are also an option, I found a clinic that would do an ultrasound for under $100
@Janelle that must have been extra hard because that was after the first trimester. You’ve got this no matter what happens 🫡
I did have an appointment on the 16th. We did see a heartbeat but it still makes me anxious.
@Incognito yeah... frustrating because you think after 12 weeks you're safe. We'd had 2 perfect ultrasounds already!! Now I'm like I can't relax til they're out of there.
@Janelle I feel you. My loss was around 7 weeks but it’s crazy how my mental state bounces around between “I’m most likely going to have a baby!” and “Anything can happen, we’ll see if this is viable”
@Janelle praying for you mama. i know it’s hard and you look for ways to cope but remember attachment is okay and it’s healthy. that’s still your baby that you carried, successful or not. you’re just as much as a mother. it’s okay to feel all the emotions, the fear, the anger, the sadness and the happiness. i pray everything works out. ♥️
@Kaylee oh yeah it’s definitely different this time around, I’m not yet thinking about myself as a “we” and I’m not talking to the baby about what “we’re” having for dinner, I’m sticking to thinking of the embryo in its current state- blueberry or smaller, with a possible heartbeat 😂
I had a loss last time at 16 weeks. It was devastating and I'm terrified. Trying not to get attached this time. My first scan is June 2, I will be 10 weeks then.
