12 week scan tomorrow and PETRIFIED

[Laurenp1995]

Hello everyone, I am so nervous I have my 12 week scan tomorrow morning and I'm absolutely petrified they will say something is wrong. I had a bit of a rocky start with the pregnancy having pains and then a early scan where they couldn't see anything, they then eventually found the baby a few week later dating me 6 weeks 4 days heartbeat was seen too. However now approaching my 12 week scan I'm so scared again after a rocky start. I have two other amazing children and I felt like this even when pregnant with them I can't seem to relax today with fear of tomorrow. Am I crazy?

Nope, its a nervous time.

I found out I was pregnant on Monday, and haven't stopped worrying since. I won't be able to relax until I see my little bean on screen.

its totally normal to worry, just try and calm down as stressing wont be good for baby.

Thank you so glad it's not just me my partner just tells me to relax and all will be fine but it's easier said then done I will deffo try to thank you l
Congratulations on your pregnancy too xx

Completely normal to worry ❤️ We all worry for different reasons ! I have been during this pregnancy because I had a Mc last year. I remember bricking the 12 week scan but relaxed when in the waiting room along with lots of other women who were sat waiting. I kept thinking I have a good chance at this like they do! Good luck 😘 try to remember everything happens for a reason xxx

I’ve got my 12 week scan tomorrow too I’ve been suffering with HG and the thought of anything being wrong after weeks of HELL fills my with horror.. sending you a virtual hand hold! Fingers crossed all will be well for us both!

It would be weird not to be anxious- I was teary at all of mine and I have had 8 scans for this baby. Every other person in the waiting room will be feeling similar.
Good luck!

Hiya, I also have my 12 week scan tomorrow and have had similar worries. There are stories everywhere of things going wrong, especially when you're hyper aware of possible issues. But just think of all the millions of pregnancies that are absolutely fine allllll the time, it's far more likely all will be well! And this time tomorrow you'll know as well so not long to wait now. I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks earlier this year so have been particularly nervous, so I get your anxiety!!

I think every single women who has approached their 12 weeks scan becomes a nervous wreck, I was on the brink of tears before going to mine
I am sure everything will be fine

Thank you everyone you've all made me feel so much better after I've been a emotional wreck all day keep bursting into tears over it. I feel so much better now that's it's not Just me I hope everyone who has their scans Tomorrow all is okay sending lots of hugs 😘 xx

I’ve got mine too. Wishing everyone loads of love and luck, hopefully we can all report back with the good news ☘️

At every "milestone" of pregnancy I had I was convinced there would be something wrong,from early pregnancy to delivery.I ruined my pregnancy experience looking back but I couldnt help it.Ds is 5 now and I wish I could have been more calm but that's just the way I dealt with it all

Good Luck Today @Laurenp1995 I'm sure you and baby are going to be fine

Good luck today EVERYONE, there are about 5 of us in the same boat. Thinking healthy thoughts!

Thank you @KittenMittens1 I'm trying to stay as calm as possible this morning I will report back to you all as soon as I'm out would be lovely to hear back from everyone else in the same boat today too good luck all!!!! Xxx

Good Luck everyone having their scan today please let us know how it goes, I have mine on Thursday and I’m already really worried. No idea how i’m Going to sleep next week

Hello everyone just back from my scan and all was absolutely fine we have a very active baby I'm actually 12 weeks and 2 days not the 11 weeks and 6 days like I thought. Due on the 18th of March 2020. Hope everyone else being scanned today went okay it's so hard to relax before you go in I was like it with all my scans but as soon as you see the baby appear you fears melt away and you enjoy it xx

@Laurenp1995 so happy for you ! I think what a lot of people tend to forget is that most pregnancies go well and most babies are born healthy one way or another.

I think if you spend a lot of time on these forums, it seems as if bad things happen most of the time- when actually, bad things happen less often than good things.

Good luck to everyone for the rest of their pregnancies.

@Laurenp1995 we are due date buddies!!

@mummytobe2020 yes I agree we hear so many scary story's and our emotions are everywhere so that doesn't help we worry ourself silly! Xx

@Ibizababyy amazing! How are you feeling? Xx

@Laurenp1995 lousy!! I’m on meds for nausea which had started to ease up a couple weeks back but then a week ago I had a very traumatic wisdom tooth extraction and subsequent infection. Been climbing the walls in agony and barely sleeping so it’s really knocked me for six sickness wise again! Off work until next Thursday so hopefully I’ll be feeling better by then! How are you?

Due date buddy here too! 18th March!

Scan was fine, baby very active! Had a lovely scan lady & a trainee so we had a really detailed scan while she was explaining everything and looking from every angle imaginable.. my 12 week scan with my daughter, I had a super grumpy sonographer who didn’t explain anything! So I was pleasantly surprised!

So glad to hear scans have gone well!

@Laurenp1995

Aww congrats. I'm only 4.5 weeks with out r rainbow and petrified.

So glad scan went well. Did you get a photo Lauren?

@Ibizababyy ahhhh no that's horrible I don't know how you are coping they are definitely all worth it in the end though and hopefully this feeling will pass for you soon I think we're in the second trimester now so should start feeling better soon hopefully xx
