I struggled to not consult Dr Google about what it meant to not see a yolk sac in the scan. Blighted ovum kept coming up and I stressed over these words. We considered getting another scan elsewhere before our second scan with the Consultant. We knew though that this could likely lead to more worry and stress so we waited the two weeks.
2nd scan came along and my nerves were high and on edge. Today would be the day whether I know my pregnancy is viable or not. I threw up that morning, I put it down to nerves rather than morning sickness. I didn’t want to see signs of pregnancy in case I jinxed it.
I lay there again staring at the screen and I saw a white blob and then a saw fluttering movement in the white blob. There was my baby’s heartbeat. I was seeing and hearing my baby’s heartbeat. Relief washed over me… I’m pregnant.
