12 week scan handhold

[UrsulaSings]

Hi I have my 12 week scan on monday morning, 8.10am. I'm really starting to get very very nervous and I'm terrified I'm going to go and there will be something wrong.

I had a scan at 8 weeks and everything looked ok then, but I havent had ANY symptoms the last week and my OH thinks my boobs have shrunk and they've stopped aching and I even enjoyed a coffee today and I havent been able to drink or smell coffee at all and I havent felt sick for at least 10 days. I am 12+1.

I just hope so badly that the little bean is ok. This is my second time pregnant but if everything goes ok will be my first child, as there were problems last time. I've just started feeling happy and excited and I'd be devastated if that was torn away from me.

Hello!
Aw Monday isn't too long to wait and at least is early morning. Mine was a Monday at a similar time and so much better than having to wait , just try not to think about it too much I know it's easier said than done.

I was same my boobs shrunk about 12/13 weeks and went back to normal size about 14 weeks! I also had no symptoms around time of my scan so it's easy to expect the worst but lack of symptoms at that stage is so normal !

I'm sure you'll be fine easy to worry due to past experiences ...I was the same but positive is you had a good scan at 8 weeks

Thank you @jdy123 I've been alright but now its getting closer the worry is ramping up. Been awake thinking about it! One minute I think itll be all fine and I'm excited and then the next minute I start worrying again! I know its because of my previous experience. Thank you for replying x

I remember being a bag of nerves before my 12 week scan. And I had an early scan too, when I thought I was around 8/9 weeks but was actually only 7 weeks.

I worried because I didn't 'feel' pregnant or look it i suppose, if someone had to look at me they wouldn't have known I was pregnant, I don't really know what I was expecting to be honest !

My boobs didn't change at all, stayed the same size and weren't sore at all.

I hope everything goes well for you on Monday morning, please keep us posted. Try and relax, easier said than done I know, but worrying won't make it come around any quicker so just relax and it will be here before you know it.
Take care

I had nerves too despite having had early scans. All my symptoms subsided from 10 weeks and I didn’t feel pregnant at all. Our scan went really well and everything was as it should be. Over the last couple of weeks your placenta will have been taking over which often reduces symptoms.

I was an absolute mess before my dating scan (which wasn't until I was 13+6 due to a backlog).
I couldn't sleep with anxiety and kept reading about MMC and convincing myself that I didn't feel pregnant anymore.
As it happened, baby was absolutely fine and I needn't have worried.

Hopefully yours will be the same. Best of luck x

Thank you for all your reassurances. Me and OH are going out today so hopefully that will be a distraction. Thank you.

How did the scan go op ?

Hope all is well

@1littlequestion thank you for thinking of me! As PP's all said it would, it went absolutely fine! All looking healthy and good. Was kicking and moving about loads! A lovely experience!

Oh and I was further on than I thought they put me at 13 weeks so said it was normal to not have had as many symptoms!

Awwww yay congrats gurl

Oh my goodness congratulations ! Bet your over the moon and feeling more relaxed now.

What a clear scan it is too.

Take care op

Congratulations @UrsulaSings!!! I'm so pleased for you.
