8+3 week scan Mid Jan

[GaaaaarlicBread]

Hi ,

I feel like I’ve been on here quite a lot recently so you’re probably getting sick of me now !
I’ve booked in for an early reassurance scan for 22nd Jan when I’ll be 8 weeks + 3 . I’ve done it as I have a health condition that is controlled but because of the meds I’m on (that are classed as the safest!) I just want early reassurance . I was initially looking at 6 weeks but thankfully a lot of ladies on here advised against it as if my dates are slightly out I may not have seen a heart beat and I would’ve worried more .

But now it’s a waiting game for the next 4 weeks ! Any advise you could give me on keeping busy so time will go quicker I’d really appreciate it . No reason to be worried at all, as everything seems fine and I feel fine but the anxiety is awful !!

Only advise which isn't really going to help is relax... Give yourself something to look forward to between now and then so... New year's eve/new yrs day then if you have anything planned or have stuff to do between now and then
This is what I've done all the way through this pregnancy.. Although not because I've been anxious just because I've wanted it to hurry up. 🙈 So with me it was 1st midwife app in so many days.... Then it was oh scan is so many weeks and so on with birthdays etc and before I knew it I'm now 35+5 I remember being 24 weeks and wishing it was 34 weeks as I'd had enough and it seems like that was last week. It will fly by just try not to think about it x

@Boymummy3 thank you so much and congratulations! 💕💕💕

I’ve done very similar! Have previously had one miscarriage at 6 weeks and wanted an early scan for reassurance, but like you thought best to wait a little longer to avoid any more anxiety if dates are slightly off. Booked a private scan for 8+5 which is in a couple of weeks so just a waiting game now. Good luck with yours! x

@Annafs please let me know how you get on ! I just can’t stop thinking about it ! How do you make time not drag ?
So sorry for your previous loss , it must make things so much harder second time round x
