In today’s episode, Sarah dives into the often overwhelming first trimester of pregnancy after loss, focusing on the timing of your initial appointments. Many moms, after seeing that positive test, feel the urge to rush in for an early scan or labs. But could waiting be the better option?
Sarah shares a personal story about her first ultrasound with her rainbow baby when things didn’t go as expected. In her case, the doctors couldn’t find a heartbeat, and the baby was measuring small. While it was a scary moment, she knew her cycle well enough to know she’d ovulated late. Waiting gave her more clarity and less stress.
Throughout the episode, Sarah outlines five reasons why waiting for your first appointment could actually be a good decision for both you and your baby. From reducing early ultrasound anxiety to ensuring your body has enough time to show clear progress, she offers heartfelt advice for moms navigating the delicate early stages of pregnancy after loss.
