Hi ladies I am having a scan next week when I’ll be 17 weeks pregnant (private) my 12 week scan was fine heartbeat good and could see a really clear picture of baby... however I just can’t stop feeling anxious about my next scan I’m worried there will be no heartbeat (even though baby was fine at 12 weeks?!) it’s also taken me 2 years to get pregnant and I have had fertility issues as well as previous mc and mmc 👎🏼
Does anyone else feel like this between scans?! This is my first baby also

I found I was most nervous between my 12 week and 20 week scan, because I started to feel better after a horrendous first tri and I couldn't feel the baby yet. So almost felt back to normal and had no bump to feel even remotely pregnant. I just took it one day at a time and tried to remember the odds of things going wrong after the 12 weeks scan are very very small. I am now 32 weeks and have a large constantly moving reminder to ease my nerves.

That’s exactly how I feel, I think my bump is also quite small only seems big after I’ve eaten! Fingers crossed everything is fine and I’m being anxious for no reason 🤞🏼

I've always felt like that when pregnant. Until you can feel movement it's really difficult.

What I used to tell myself is it's all part of being a parent and even when the baby is here and live and we'll you will constantly worry about them. I think it's just natural.

I’m exactly the same - currently 34 weeks pregnant, had a scan last week, and was worried from the scan before to that one, now worried about my next scan in 3 weeks. I’ve been worried scan to scan all the way through.

It seems even dafter to me as I can feel them moving around furiously now (twin preg) but still worry in case something has happened to one and I’m thinking I can feel double movements when it’s one trying to let me know we have a problem. In my more rational moments I know it’s just my anxiety and as a PP said, I’m going to be worried for one reason or another about them for the rest of my life 🤣

I'm exactly the sam Hun! I have my 17 week scan next weekend and I'm so worried and was for my 12 week scan to the point where I cried so much I got myself in such a mess. Because I thought they were going to tell me the baby was dead. But they didn't and my little one was pinging about and wouldn't move off it's head for the duration so just try and tell yourself it's going to be okay just like the last one and everyone is different with movements I started feeling bubbles , flutters at 13 weeks and I'm now 15 weeks 2 days and I only feel movements now and again but have to remind myself that that's okay as regular movements don't get felt yet... but back to you just try and stay positive ♥️

I was exactly like this ! I also remember being traumatised after I'd had the last scam because it was the last one! Once you're bigger and noticing more movements you'll be fine. XFlowers
