12 week scan tomorrow. Reassurance needed

[Lizzy86]

Can't stop thinking about it. Other than the occasional nausea and headaches, I don't have any other symptoms telling me I'm with child. I only bought a cheapie test and keep having dreams of going to the scan and nothing being there. Does anyone else have these worries?

No doctor or midwife confirmed my pregnancy they just trust me that I am. It's mental

Completely normal to feel like that IMO! Home Tests are so accurate and reliable most doctors don't do a test now and with my first I remember thinking this was v odd. I was worried I'd read the test wrong so got a clear blue Digi which definitely said pregnant but even then it didn't feel real until I saw ds dancing about on the screen!

Try to relax and not worry. I'm sure everything will be fine and it will all feel much more real once you have a lovely scan pic to show off!!

Aww Lizzie, I feel for you. I am a few weeks behind you and I am exactly the same. Been fortunate to have very few symptoms (only tiredness and tender boobs) and have had no nausea at all or any other symptoms. I have also been given no tests either. I really don't feel pregnant and where I live there is no opportunity for an early reassurance scan. It is so worrying and difficult as there is nothing you can do. I just keep on reminding myself that lack of AF is itself a symptom, in fact one that is largely discounted. I also try and remind myself that I am not usually this tired etc...you need something to hold on to to convince yourself and keep positive. Don't forget that nausea and headaches are classic symptoms and that most scans turn out fine. Lots of luck for tomorrow x

Completely normal. I used to think about the tests I did and wonder "what if it might have been a false positive?" even when I was holding my actual baby!

Completely normal. I've had two 12 weeks scans so far (2 pregnancies) and both times I was convinced they would start the scan and there would be no baby in there. There always was a lovely little baby. In both my pregnancies no one ever confirmed my pregnancy beyond asking me if I'd done a test and if it was positive. They always just took my word for it, I too think it's mad! Relax and enjoy your scan tomorrow. It's really magical seeing the little one for the first time.

I felt exactly the same! I didn't want to tell anyone (our parents) until it had been confirmed, so trotted off to the doctors and he just took my word for it, as did the midwife. It didn't feel real until I saw our baby at the 12 week scan, I was also worried that I'd made a mistake and there'd be nothing there! Now 29+4 and all is fine. Hope everything goes well for you tomorrow, it's a very exciting time.

I cried and had a restless night sleep before mine. I convinced myself there was nothing in there even known i was so sick! And to make things worse they forgot about me and didnt realise until a hour after my appointment. But all was ok and i saw my wriggling healthy baby. Its natural to worry and its ok. We are all here going through the same its great to support each other x
