I would say do what you feel you need to do to make yourself comfortable. I strongly considered going to the ER before my appointment, so I understand! It's a scary thing and I think no matter what, we'll always have something to worry about until we get our LO in our arms.
Keep us posted either way.View Thread

My doctor said he is a fan of early ultrasounds just to assess the viability and fetal age, because it is too early to hear the heartbeat with the doppler in the first trimester. I'm not sure if it's 100% impossible to hear it, but I'm sure it's really difficult. Hopefully you can get an early ultrasound because it really helped to ease my fears! It felt like forever waiting 3 weeks for my first appointment, so I hope the next few weeks go quick for you and you get great news.View Thread

If you do not have other health issues and you take care of yourself, just be reassured that chances are, it won't happen again. And when you are ready in the future, you will have a great support system with your partner in making that joint decision. That will help ease your fears.
Good luck at your appointment and I hope the rest of your recovery goes quickly without incident. Be careful, make good decisions, and take care of your body -- that way, when you're ready for kids in the future, you know you have done everything you can to ensure a good outcome. Also, if you are sexually active, you should be taking a multivitamin with folic acid every day, just in case!View Thread

History: We decided to start trying for #2 in July 2011, had a m/c and d&c 11/11/11. I was on the ttc after loss board for a while and it was rough waiting for that bfp, but now I'm here and so so ready to hold my LO!View Thread
