12 week scan and nervous

[EnjoyItAll]

I have my scan tomorrow and I’m getting really nervous. I know that no one can tell me everything is ok until tomorrow but just needed to write it as I’m getting myself worked up. I’ve been wishing the days away and it can’t come quick enough!

Good luck x

@EnjoyItAll I have mine tomorrow too! I hope it goes well for you, I think the anxious feeling is completely normal and if you’ve had no problems so far that’s only a positive thing xx

Oh my gosh yes, I have my 12 week scan tomorrow too! I've been feeling okay this past week but today my nerves have shot up - I'm terrified.

I hope all goes well for you! 🤞🏻

I kept resisting the urge to book an early private one and am now kicking myself for not! I hope yours goes well for you too @Wifelife

@PastaSauceHoarder I hope yours goes well tomorrow too! I am usually so calm about everything so this is really throwing me!

Mines next week-Wednesday and I’m already getting worked up! We had a 9 week early scan which was all good so trying to remain positive 👍👍 good luck ladies let us know how it goes xxx

@EnjoyItAll Thank you, I’ve actually already had three due to an early bleed and pre-booking a private scan but I’ve felt really nervous before each one so completely understand.

I found the private scan really reassuring and worthwhile, it’s much longer and the sonographer explained lots of things so I found it really useful - you might find it nice to do one at a later date if you’re finding out the gender or just find the waiting between scans too long xx

@Babycakes1989 I hope yours goes well next week

@Wifelife that must have been really hard waiting on a scan with a bleed.

I think I will probably have a private scan at a late date but convinced myself I didn’t need one before 12 weeks as the risk rate doesn’t drop until around then. Really kicking myself so any future pregnancy I think I will get one around 9 weeks for peace of mind. Hopefully tomorrow afternoon I can stop obsessing and start relaxing again!

Just realised I deleted too many words. It was meant to say I’m really glad everything turned out ok at your scans

Good luck for your scan as well @Wildlife, I agree with the private scans. I had one at 9 weeks and that was definitely reassuring - though I'm anxious all over again now!

What time are your scans @Wildlife and @EnjoyItAll? Mines at 10am, I'm really glad I got given an early time, I'd be driving myself mad with worry all day otherwise.

Thank you both good luck to you both too - mines at 1.30pm which is annoying as I’d like it over and done with too!

I really didn’t anticipate the anxiety that comes with pregnancy, I expected joy and glow 🙈 Hopefully that comes later!

God woke up feeling sick (and not just morning sickness!) I'm so nervous.

Massive fingers crossed for happy scans for all of us today! 🤞🏻

Good luck with all the scans today!

mines at 1.30 too just want it over and done now! hope all your scans go well ladies! xx

I've got mine at 1.30 today as well. People keep asking me if I'm looking forward to it but I'm not sure I am

Good luck

Good luck to you all for today! It's so hard waiting on the scans - my baby is measuring big so I've had additional growth scans and I've felt sick with nerves before every single one. I'm 37+5 now. Just remember to have something to eat, keep a full bladder! I actually don't look at the scan screen until my DP has looked first and told me it all looks okay which has helped with my nerves xx

Hi op! Just wanted to wish you luck for today!

Good luck, you will be fine! I was like this at mine but baby was fine and yours will be too. Xx

Hope everyone's went okay today. I'm not as far on as I thought so going back in a couple weeks but all okay

I'm feeling anxious too and my 12 week scan is still 2 weeks away!

Hope all went ok for those of you having yours today 🤞

It's such an exciting time but I'm driving myself mad with worry. Had an 8 week scan and was measuring 7 weeks. Sonographer didnt seem concerned but I'm 99.9% certain of my dates so im scared I'll be measuring behind at 12 weeks too and scared for what that might mean.

Before I got pregnant I imagined it being such a happy and exciting time and, while it is, I cant believe the levels of worry and anxiety mixed in with it all!

I’ve been booked in to come back! Measuring just behind 11+4 so they can’t be certain on dates or do the nuchal, sonographer wasn’t pleased they booked me in too early when I’d already had early scans showing how far along I am but I got to see the baby wriggling around so that was a positive for us! Hope everyone’s has gone well xx

Sorry for the last update it’s been manic since the scan! Everything was fine. Initially they measure just over 11 weeks but baby was in an awkward position but then it stretched out and they measured 12 weeks. Very active but all looking good!

@meepmoop I hope your scan goes well in a couple of weeks! Did you still get clear images?

@angelix I hope your scan goes well in 2 weeks! It’s very hard to judge based on period alone so don’t feel too deflated. My midwife put me a week ahead initially and the calculators all give me different dates!

@Wifelife glad today went well even if you need to go back. So reassuring seeing them moving around! Finally getting excited now!

Happy to hear everything's ok! I remember being quite shocked everything was fine at my 12 week scan. I'd convinced myself something was wrong, no basis for feeling like that other than just protecting my own feelings just in case the tiny chance something was wrong.

Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy!

Had my scan today and all ok. Looking at around 12+2 which tracks pretty much with my dates which is great.
Just couldn't get all the checks done as baby was too active so I'm back in a few weeks for another peek!
