Back at yet another scan

This is my 6th scan this preg due to problems in previous pregnancies. So far so good but tbh I hate scans... I sleep really badly the night before and feel really anxious all morning with a funny tummy that miraculously disappears after the scan. I'm generally super anxious about pregnancies and the scans just make me so nervous. but I'm under a consultant that I love and I believe is as invested in my pregnancy as me. He just wants to make sure nothing nothing goes wrong, which I appreciate. Just feel at 34+4 I wish I was slightly more relaxed but feel like I'm waiting for my 12 week scan. Sorry for the Moan just feeling ick today :(

Sarahmia - I know exactly how you feel. I have been scanned every two weeks up until week 18 and then every week, now 24 weeks and likley to be every week until delivery. I hate it - its not exciting to see my babies its just worry that everything is going to be ok. I understnad that it needs to be done but it has been a heavily medicalised preganancy (id twins, severe TTTS) and not enjoyable at all!

Good luck today and hope everything goes well for the rest of your pregnancy :)
