Really nervous about 12 week scan

.. and I know there is nothing that anyone can do - I just wanted to talk about it!

I have had a missed miscarriage previously - discovered at the 12 week scan, so that's probably why. I'm still feeling sick but my boobs aren't sore anymore.

I wish I had a time machine!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Feeling exactly the same, my scans on the 22nd and I'm so nervous.

I think like you as some of my symptoms are calming down, I feel as though I'm not pregnant anymore. That much so that I almost bought a pregnancy test today!!

I think its just nerves and after your scan you'll be able to relax and enjoy the pregnancy again

When is your scan?

snowmummy · 12/12/2010 20:25

No advice, but good luck to both of you.

I get freaked out by every scan - even the ones I had before I had ever had any bad news!

Good Luck & Congratulations!

I remember that feeling all too well - i had miscarriages before - and i kept thinking that i had made a mistake and was never to be a mother. But DS is now 13 months and asleep in his cot. No advise just sympathy, good luck and congratuations

I'm nervous too - scan is on Christmas Eve. I've had hardly any symptoms, just slightly larger boobs and tiredness. Am almost expecting the sonographer to diagnose me as a timewasting fantasist and send me away, sharpish.

I really think all women feel like this until you get to your first scan and actually see it moving around. I had my first one last Monday and before it I had felt exactly the same as you all do, especially as my best friend had a missed miscarriage last year. These are quite unusual though I think.
Anyway fingers crossed for you all, I am sure you will all be okay and its absolutely amazing to see your baby moving around!!

I'm exactly the same - my scan is on Thursday and like Armi I'm just tired and big boobed. No other symptoms. Have also put on a bit of weight already so my worst nightmare is the midwife telling me I'm not pregnant, just really need to diet.

Danilou22 · 13/12/2010 20:34

My scan is tomorrow and I am so nervous! I am worried that they will tell me there is nothing there!

bessie26 · 13/12/2010 21:40

heehee - I remember my first 12wk scan with DD, being so relieved that there was actually something in there!
