NIPT/Scan Anxiety

I have a scan tomorrow at 10w6d along with my NIPT blood draw. It was supposed to be at a local office, but the appointment was moved to a building on the same campus where I had my TFMR last year. That was my first pregnancy, and our daughter had full T18 with severe ultrasound findings at 12w. The new location definitely isn’t helping my mental state, but I didn’t want to reschedule and prolong the process

I saw baby measuring on time with a good heartbeat at 7w2d, but there is lingering fear that history will repeat itself. I want to be hopeful and excited, but I’m so anxious and worried

I also know these feelings are being amplified by our daughter’s upcoming due date next week

I have my first sub pregnancy scan today and expect to be about seven weeks along. Now that the day is here, I’m terrified. I’ve had light spotting on and off that really has me in my head. I’m feeling extremely pregnant, and the nausea is worse than my TFMR pregnancy, but seeing blood a few times has freaked me out. I want more than anything to welcome my healthy rainbow in December
