This is my first pregnancy so of course I'm freaking out. I went to my first OBGYN appt this morning and she wanted to do an ultrasound. I'm 8 weeks. I declined the ultrasound and she was totally fine with it. She said she recommends a transnuchal lucency ultrasound at 12 weeks to check for Down's Syndrome, etc.
Originally I was 100% against ultrasounds, but due to two previous LEEP and one laser ablation of my cervix, I decided it would be a good idea to do the ultrasound at 14 weeks to make sure my cervix is competent.
I'm so nervous about everything. I'm only 27, so I don't think anything would be wrong with the baby but it's just SO SCARY. I wish I could just relax and not worry. It's so hard because it's my first.
We're planning on going with a home birth midwife after I get the all clear at my 14 week ultrasound. I've got reservations about that because I'm a worrier but I like the idea of delivering at home a lot more than at the hospital.
HELP.
