Terrified there will be no heartbeat

[Eimz]

This is my first pregnancy and I have no symptoms at all!! My first scan is on Monday and I terrified there will be no heartbeat!! ☹️ the anxiety is killing me

I didnt have any symptoms at all during my 1st pregnancy untill third trimester then i got a bit of heartburn. Symptoms dont really mean alot every pregnancy & every person is different on how pregnancy effects them x

Good luck on your scan on Monday. I was the exact same at my 12 week scan. Even burst into tears when they told me to lie down. Fingers crossed for you

I wrote a similar post to this on Weds! I have my scan on Tuesday and have also had very few symptoms so can't stop worrying so know exactly how you feel.

I had a scan at 8 weeks and all was ok but keep thinking something's gone wrong between then and now.

It sounds like everyone has such different experiences and I've heard quite a few people say they had no symptoms and all was fine now.

I hope Monday comes around soon and your scan goes well

😩
thanks everyone good to know I'm not the only person who feels like this!! Wish you'd all the best 💓It's my first time being pregnant and so hoping everything with my baby is OK. Xx

Don’t let people convince you you need to have your head in the toilet permanently to be pregnant. I never threw up, felt a little sick in the 5month and my baby’s kicks were very light. Very easy pregnancy, thankfully.
Good luck

Of course you hope everything is fine, as do we all!

But, can you get yourself into a headspace where you can try and feel that it is what it is? I'm not great with the words I want to use, but can you see that the days you spend, sick with anxiety, are days wasted to you? They won't affect the outcome of Monday.

Everything crossed, and statistics good, all will be well! So you worried yourself anyway. God forbid a less happy scan- what will you get out of feeling your fear was justified? All it will do is emotionally blight further early pregnancies.

I used to spend literally hours willing my plane to stay in the sky. It can almost become a fetish. Til, not overnight, but gradually I came to realise that my tight knuckled prayers and chanting actually made not a ripple on the fabric of the universe.

What will be, will be. But it took me to 50 to realise that.

Hoping all goes well!

@Miljea Ha. Excellent post

OP I'm having a scan on Friday at 6+1. It's taken 4 years and 3 rounds of IVF so I'm BRICKING IT. But worry that prompts no action is foolish.... She says swimming in a sea of hypocrisy

I had no symptoms other than some cramping before our early scan at 9w. I was 100% convinced there will be no heartbeat, especially since we already experienced MCs and MMC. I am 36w pregnant now and symptoms hit at 10w with a vengeance.

I've had that. Turned up to our 12 week scan (on Mother's Day) to be told there was no heartbeat. I was still having full on nausea and pregnancy symptoms.
It was horrendous, and yes, it does happen.
BUT, nothing you do or worry about now will change it. Hope for the best, be prepared that there is a very small chance that something could go wrong and good luck!

Hi Eimz just thought I would pop back and see how things went today. Fingers crossed it was all happy news.
