Feeling very anxious about the 12 week scan

Apologies, I’m sure this has been posted a million times before but here goes. I have my 12 week scan tomorrow and I can’t stop worrying that I’ll get bad news. I struggle with anxiety anyway but I’m usually able to rationalise things away, not this time though. I’ve had two scans previously at 7 and 9 weeks due to small bleeds and a heartbeat was seen. I’m still feeling sick all the time and have really sore boobs. Despite this I can’t stop worrying! I don’t know why I’m posting really, I guess I just need a little reassurance.

I think it's very natural to worry before a scan. I know I did! Just hold onto the knowledge that you've seen the hb band your risk of MC has dropped considerably because of it. Chances are your baby will be absolutely fine!
Good luck for tomorrow, enjoy seeing your little one again!

Aww bless yah! It's a worrying time isn't it! People go on about how lovley and amazing it is, and actually the first trimester isn't that nice because your so sick and worrying so much!
If it's any comfort, your not on your own! Everyone feels like this! I was 100% convinced when I had my scan that there would be nothing there, and that I'd probably made the whole thing up in my head. But sure enough she was there, wiggling about! And even at my 20 week scan just recently I was convinced again that there would be nothing there! But my little lady was defo there waving and wiggling about. It does get a bit easier when you start feeling them move about, because then you can actual feel that your baby is there, but before that you've not got a lot going on and so it can be worrying!! Please just try and keep calm, please try and keep positive, I know it's easier said than done but getting your self stressed out isn't good for either of you! I hope all goes well, and congratulations.
