So nervous

[mummy1214]

So I am pregnant with my 3rd baby (you would think it's my first it's been 6 years since I had my youngest) I'm about 7 or 8 weeks I think although midwife has dated it at 12 weeks because of when my last period was (but I know for a fact I'm not that far along unless I'm the virgin mary lol) I have my first scan tomorrow to check how far I am and I am soooooo nervous. I've never found out this early with my other 2 and this time I'm a nervous wreck. Before this pregnancy as dumb as it may sound I had never heard of Missed miscarriage but since joing here I've read so many awful things about people going through it and now seem to have convinced myself that that is what is going to show on the scan tomorrow and that there wont be a heartbeat.
I've had sore boobs and sickness that is beyond awful for the last 10 days or so like literally I feel sick all the time and the last few days have actually been sick a few times a day. Really hoping the sonographer will listen when I say I dont think I am anywhere near 12 weeks and that I think I'm only 7 or 8 and will hopefully do an internal scan and praying they pick up a heartbeat that way

They do date it from your last period. That’s correct.

Wolfiefan I know but there is no way I would be 12 weeks my periods are irregular at best and I had just come off the implant. There is no way baby will measure that big even if everything is ok. I more a less know for certain the week I conceived. Which with the way doctors date it would be about 7 or 8 weeks.

I was in the same situation as you from my lmp i was 14 weeks. I knew i wasnt that far along and was correct as i was only 9weeks.
They won't do an internal scan as ususlly but at 7/8 weeks they will be able to see baby.
Im on baby no3 and honestly half the things i read on here i take with a pinch of salt.. of course loads can go wrong and for some it does which isnt good but alot goes rite too i have the mind frame just relax about it.. you wont do yourself any good if you worry about every little thing. Good luck for your scan xx

With my missed miscarriage my symptoms eased off so I would take your morning sickness as a good sign.
Are you cycles irregular as I have a long cycle and they do base the dates on a 28 day cycle and adjust it when you have your scan. Got put back a week in my first pregnancy as have 35 day cycles.

I think you’re misunderstanding. They don’t date your pregnancy from when you had sex. Scans will date more accurately.

Before the scan your midwife will date the pregnancy from your last period. At the scan they date the baby by its growth, which is a slightly more accurate reading.

You're always 2 weeks more pregnant than you actually are the first 2 weeks don't count. Normal to worry we all do but I'm sure you'll be fine and even at 8 weeks you will see baby and heartbeat on an external scam I did

Scan not scam
