Anxiety

[Saz626]

I've got my 20 week scan a week on Tuesday and I just can't feel excited for it. I'm filled with dread, worry and anxiety if anything could be wrong. I know the statistics are low for anything being wrong at this stage but I can't help but worry that something is. I'm so anxious over it I'm even googling 20 week scans with various defects and seeing if I can see any of them in my 12 week scan. And also googling signs somethings wrong before the ultrasound. Has anyone else felt this way? Guess I just wanted to speak to either other mothers or mums to be and hopefully feel a little bit more relaxed over it all.

I think it's very normal to worry and feel anxious before a scan, I know I was like that too. I know easier said than done but try not too worry

I’ve worried the entire pregnancy so for. I’m 13 weeks and if you noticed I even posted this morning about my cat jumping and landing from a distance. I have googled everything and drive my husband mad with constant questions do you think it will be ok?! Everyone keeps saying enjoy pregnancy but to be honest I can’t it’s just one big stressful thing. I think though is there’s nothing you can do, go along and see what’s what first everything may and should be fine but if not you’ll be surrounded by experts who will be able to guide you though, whatever happens is really out of our control

Oh no !! I struggle with anxiety in everything I do I know exactly what your feeling omg I over analyse everything
The best thing to do is try and turn the negative thoughts into positive and list the things that are good ... you'll be able to find out the sex you'll see your baby again wriggling around the heart beat you'll be filled with joy the anxiety will go when your finally there stop googling things if there was any abnormalities that could be seen on your previous scan they would have spotted them
Trust that you go this far and it's gonna be ok

This is exciting

Wait till they are keeping you up at night so enjoy enjoy enjoy before you have0 sleep lol

Sending hugs xxxxx

Thank you all. I'm just a big over thinker and worrier. I'm trying best to focus on the positives and the likelihood of things going wrong slim. Xxx
