20 week scan panic

Aaaaah my 20 week scan is tomorrow and I’m petrified.

Anyone know what the statistics are like in terms of finding a problem? I am so desperate for my baby to be ok!

I worried before the 12 week scan but I am so much more attached now I can feel the baby moving, the thought of something being wrong fills me with dread.

It's normal I was like that with all 7 pregnancies on all scans and only 1 was a problem highlighted at 12 weeks but turned out to be nothing in the end.

The 20 week scan is the best 1 in terms of seeing baby all mine ended up doing things like thumb sucking 1 played peekaboo and 1 had bubbles appear around the bottom end so we took that as seeing the baby having a fart.
Congratulations on your pregnancy Grin

With my last baby we found problems at the 20 week scan. I’m 13 weeks now and have my scan tomorrow and obviously very worried!! But I still believe chances are slim and what will be will be. Good luck!

I also have my 20 week scan tomorrow and also very anxious! I've been imagining all kinds of worst case scenarios. I just keep telling myself that it is more likely to be ok than not.... I wish there were statistics on this more readily available - I find more info reassuring.

Ive been on the recieving end of bad news at a 20week scan, and said goodbye to my baby girl when i was nearly 22w pregnant, she 'wasnt compatible with life' as they put it.
Im 18w 5d pregnant currently with a rainbow baby and have a 20w scan coming up on 17th january. Terrified is an understatement x

Just found this threat. So sorry @xxmissbrightsidexx how did you get on today? 💐🤞🏻

babyitscoldoutsideX · 17/01/2018 18:28

Thread!!! Not threat 🙄

@babyitscoldoutsideX it went well thankyou for asking, baby boy seems to be growing well and no issues were spotted with him atm. Only thing that needs checking is with me, apparently i have placenta previa but im hoping it will shift out of the way x
