first ultrasound 2morrow SCARED

[brkness]

And all I've been worrying about is neural tube defects! The one where the baby's born without its skull. I didn't even no that existed intell about 2 months ago and I've been thinking about it ever since. Now that I'm gonna have my first ultrasound at 17 weeks I'm freaking out so much I can't sleep!!! That would be so heartbreaking I don't know what I would do!!! This is my second baby and I never worried before but its because I didn't no anything about those kinds of things.  Now I can't stop worrying. Its frustrating.

Breathe. It will be okay lol birth defects dont usually happen unless u are doing like some psycho drug or even if it is on its own, it is very rare for such thing to happen. I was nervous my first ultrasound too. The only rhing I noticed most about my son when I saw him on the screen was how tiny he was lol. It be okay be excited not nervous!

I'm trying to sleep but I can't I get calm then start thinking again and start freaking out. Ahhhhh I just feel like screaming lol I just want to sleep. I know its probably just silly to worry so much but I can't seem to stop.

Well I've actually had a hard time the whole beginning of my pregnancy I couldn't keep anything down I was puking about six timesa day and even with zofran I still got sick, so no vitamin stayed down I tried several different ones, I still get sick but not as much but if I take a vitamin I'll be sick the whole day so I think that's one reason I've worried so much is I didn't get much vitamins to stay in me.

I was the same way. I would try to take my prenatals and my body would not let me hold them down for anything. There would be days I wasn't able to eat anything at all without puking it up but I hear ginger works very well with the nasea!
