12 week scan nerves

[KeplerYellow]

I'm 13 weeks pregnant and have my dating scan tomorrow. I'm really excited to see our little one but I'm also really nervous that something will be wrong.

As far as I know I've had no indication that anything might be wrong. I had a small bleed at 7 weeks but an early scan showed a strong heartbeat and that the baby was the right size. Still I can't seem to stop worrying! I would be really grateful for any words of wisdom/reassurance?

Its hard when you don't get to see what is going on in there for so long! We had an early scan at 8wks and saw a heartbeat but then I had a bleed a couple of days before my 12 week scan so was terrified. But baby was great, measuring a few days ahead and kicking about having a right good dance.

I'm sure everything will be fine and you'll feel so much better when you see them on the screen. They look much more like a little person at 12 weeks than on early scans and we even got to see fingers and toes!

Statistically the odds are that you have a healthy baby in there. Good luck

I remember this feeling well with both pregnancys , once you see your little baby and a heartbeat all the anxiety goes away. It's a horrible feeling , try not to think about it too much as you will drive yourself mad. I'm sure your baby is perfect in every way x

Being nervous is so normal, I spent the whole day before my scan feeling like I had butterflies in my tummy. Not sure what I was so nervous about but it was fine and quite amazing to see how much growth had happened in just 12 weeks!
