It’s going to absolutely drag until my scan!

[Starlight84]

27th June can’t come quick enough! I want reassurance! If I had a spare £79 I’d be booking a private one!! Anyone else waiting for a scan and impatient like me! Xx

@Marty93 I know! And I'm usually a sicky person too, although it's normally too much wine making me puke 😂
It is! 2 more sleeps for us! My husband and I are taking the full day off Friday too so with the nice weather and scan first thing in the morning it should be a lovely day 😊

@Starlight84 hope all goes well for you tomorrow and let us know how you get on!

@RudyRoo I’m starting to feel anxious. I struggle with constipation bad but I cannot get off the loo this eve :( I will keep you posted hun! It’s at 10.40 xx

@RudyRoo omg, me and OH have the day off on Friday too! Our scan is 9am! And we were just talking about having a nice lovely day shopping after the scan! Lol!

I'm also having my scan on Friday morning and have taken the day off! My husband and I are planning on going for a nice brunch and making some proper plans finally! Best of luck for your scans. X

I’ll be heading back to work after mine! Enjoy your scans ladies and your shopping :) xx

@Starlight84 oh I know that anxious feeling. I think it's totally normal to feel like that at this stage. It's a nerve wracking time for us all. Without sounding too hippy you just have to have faith in the universe that whatever is meant to be will be! That's what I keep telling myself anyway 😊 sure you will see a gorgeous wee healthy baby tomorrow!

@Marty93 that's so funny mine is 9am too! That's nice you have something nice to look forward to for afterward too 😊

@Thatsanicepear same to you!

Thank you @RudyRoo. I do hope you are right. I just think lack of symptoms etc is making me fear the worse. I’m sure everything will be ok and I’ll be feeling lucky I’ve not suffered symptoms! Xx

@Starlight84 I also haven't had particularly severe symptoms. Just sore boobs and a bit tired. Maybe the odd wave of nausea in the first few weeks but never sick. I'm getting a little anxious now but I have read that loads of women get mild or no symptoms and have healthy pregnancies and babies so that's reassuring.

@Thatsanicepear I know. I just don’t know what’s up with me! I think I’m still in shock! Doesn’t seem to be sinking in. After tomorrow hopefully it will lol! Xx

Eeek so scan day has arrived!! Nervous and excited! Will finally get to see if there is a little baby in there!! These last few weeks have been strange and have dragged but today is the day! Good luck to the other ladies who have one today and also tomorrow! I’ll let you know how it goes! Xxx

@starlight84 Good luck for today! I have my 12 week scan this morning too at 9:30. I’ve been awake since 5:30 feeling worried. I had a scan at 6 weeks because of spotting and they found a little heartbeat. Just hoping that’s a positive for today. Everyone else is so excited for me and I just feel so nervous!
Hope it’s amazing for you all xx

They take SO long to come around don’t they? Until then my partner tells me to try have faith in the baby and send them calm positive signals that I know they’re working hard and doing well 😂

I ended up having scans at 5, 7, 11, 11 and 12 weeks. One of the 11 week scans was private as I’d had some bleeding and the NHS wouldn’t scan me as they said the bleeding wasn’t concerning but I was out of my mind with fear and anxiety and decided the £90 was worth it. It was the right decision for me as it showed the baby was perfect and jumping around and i wouldn’t have believed that baby was okay without having that visual evidence. The other 11 week was three days later when the EPU finally reopened, and only lasted ten seconds, she just found the heartbeat then that was it. I wouldn’t have found such a quick scan reassuring enough tbh after the bleeding so I was glad I could afford the private option as the NHS were pretty shit from a patient’s perspective about the bleeding and gave so little support/no answers/didn’t take any of it seriously. I know bleeding isn’t unusual and they can’t give resources to everyone btw so not having a go.

I’ve got five weeks to go until the twenty week scan and it’s dragging so much, feel like I’m a dead zone where I don’t feel quite as rubbish physically so I sometimes feel I could forget I’m pregnant, movement hasn’t started so there’s no feedback from baby that they’re okay, and my belly/uterus seems to have stalled! Hoping that within the next five weeks I feel quickening or movement.

Would you believe I’m generally the least anxious/worried person on the planet? Pregnancy has turned that upside down. I’ve never been so scared. It’s so so so hard, like you’ve entered a lottery for the most precious thing in the world and you have no idea whether it’s gonna end in the most amazing thing or in a horrific loss. It’s one of the more challenging experiences.

If you can scrape up the money for a scan personally I’d do it to save yourself weeks of stress. Even though I’m not brilliantly calm now I definitely am a world away from the fear I felt early on. Good luck!

Omg I wrote all that before noticing you wrote this weeks ago haha! And it’s today! Good luck, let us know how it goes!

@Elbie2019 mines 10.40 and have to go work for 45 mins before! So nervous! Please let us know how it goes! Xx

@RudyRoo haha how funny. Only a day to go, but sadly I am off work today with horrendous morning sickness (was sick on the bus into work.. how embarrassing!), so today is going to drag even slower than it would if I were at work!

I will be sure to pop back onto this thread tomorrow to share scan picture with you all! X

@Starlight84 best of luck! Can't wait to hear all about it! X

@Starlight84 happy scan day!! Hope all is well

I’m on route feeling very anxious! I’ll let you know xx

So pleased for you, been thinking of you all morning x

Oh that is so lovely! Congratulations and I'm so glad it all went perfectly for you 😊 excited for mine now!
