Dating scan nerves

My dating scan is tomorrow afternoon, I have had an early scan already at 7 weeks and baby was fine. The last week I just haven't felt as pregnant, my sickness has subsided which is expected for 12 weeks but I'm also not as tired, my boobs are tender but no longer feel firm and full but my uterus does feel full of that makes sense. I'm also not needing a wee half as much during the day but waking up in the night.

I had a Mmc at 16 weeks (baby stopped growing at 14 weeks) a couple of years ago and I'm terrified of it happening again. I'm so hormonal and emotional, the smallest thing is making me cry and I'm not sleeping well because of it.

Can any of this be normal? I've had no bleeding or cramping but I know that with my mmc my baby had died a week before I started to bleed and even then it was brown spotting and I was abroad so couldn't get checked for a week until I got home which was when I found out baby had died. I know I can't go through that again, the heartbreak is still so raw and the day I found out my baby had no heartbeat anymore I was booked in to be given tablets for induce the miscarriage the following day but my body did it naturally that night, I ended up having him in a&e and it was a horrific experience. So sorry for rambling I guess it feels good to get it out.

Hiya lovely, so sorry you had to go through that before but please do try to relax. All the stress is not good for you or for baby.
I haven't had any morning sickness/barely felt pregnant and was also really concerned but my 12 week scan showed a happy, healthy little baby wiggling away in there. I'm sure all will be fine with your little one. Let us know how you get on with your scan, will be thinking of you xx

Thank you! Been awake all night and I just know the day is going to drag. I don't even know why I'm so anxious, my last 12 week scan was fine it was my 16 week appointment that they found he had no heartbeat 😭

I felt the same last week with mine. The night before I had convinced myself I wasn’t pregnant anymore and at one point even began wondering if I had been in the first place! When I went in I didn’t even look at the screen as I was expecting the worst. When I got the reassurance all was fine, I saw baby dancing around and all was fine. Then didn’t want the scan to end! I think it’s really normal to convince yourself of these things but chances are all is well.

You were both right 🥰 baby looks healthy and was very wriggly so she agreed I have probably been feeling her/him fluttering. Thank you!
