This is my 2nd pg, why oh why am I bricking myself about the 12 week scan tomorrow? Guarenteed I had one at 5weeks +5 and this has been a less than easy 12 weeks but still- I'm actually feeling quite ill at the thought of it. How can I relax? Speak words of comfort to me mumsnetters!

aaaw, i do hope it goes well. don't think there's anything that can be done about the bricking, though, unfortunately, it's the maternal condition.

It is scary not knowing what you'll see I;m sure it;ll be fine though and you'll love seeing your LO

Thank you! There's a real danger my living room carpet may have a groove in it by 2:15 tomorrow!

Thank you Betsy and for yours . I don't know why I expected the 2nd pg to be easier or less fraught than the first!

me too, I was hoping to be more relaxed this time round, but obviously not......

now I'm hoping I might be once this scan shows everything is fine (hopefully)

Swizzler · 11/04/2007 08:58

Good luck for today HM

SparklyGothKat · 11/04/2007 09:02

I have my dating scan today too, good luck for both of us.

coleyboy · 11/04/2007 09:16

Good Luck, you'll be fine. I found all of the tests a bit stressful, so had to get dp to constantly reassure me.

Lots of deep breathing, and positive thoughts are what's needed.

I remember before my first scan, I was convinced that they wouldn't find anything on the screen, and that I was having a phantom pregnancy! Why I thought this when I was constantly vomming cos of morning sickness, I'll never know!

bumperlicious · 11/04/2007 09:16

Hi Honor, hope it all goes ok for you today. of course you are worried. We all worry about the unspeakable things when we go for these scans. It's natural. Just try not to get too worked up, remember, the most likely thing is that everything WILL be fine.

AitchTwoOh · 11/04/2007 11:45

good luck all of you, i can't believe you're there already SKG.

SANA · 11/04/2007 12:12

I have got my first scan tomorrow ( this is my secong) & all very scary, trying not to think about it.......but fingers crossed for all of us

Pixiefish · 11/04/2007 12:31

glad it's not just me. i have my dating scan on Friday. have already had 2 scans. Scared this time though. Midwife was here today and saying that at 37 I'm just on the verge of some risks.

All was fine! Big phew! That'll set my mind at rest for, oooo, say.... a day! I'm an awful worrier! Little tyke was hugely active, kept climbing up the womb wall and sliding down again, really made me smile!
SGK - how did it go for you?
Sana, Betsy and pixie I'll be thinking of you all on your scan dates. x

Had my 12 week scan today. I'm 12+4 according to the measurements - I thought I was 12+2. Baby didn't stop wriggling & kicking the whole time.
It was fab
