Hi, I am not sure anyone will read this, but I just need to share my anxiety... I have my 12 week scan in a few hours and I am so worried I am going to get bad news. I have had nightmares for a few nights now - and I'm just so tired and scared. Both my best friends miscarried with their first babies and somehow it feels like it is my turn now. I have always wanted a baby but when I dreamt about being pregnant, I never imagined all the worries that come with it! Doctors have kept telling me to say nothing until the baby's heartbeat had been confirmed.. I know they have to be careful and prepare you for different outcomes but somehow they managed to convince me it was to good to be true. Anyway, it just helped putting it down in writing. Thank you if you have read this post!
