Dating scan today.. nervous

Hey guys! My dating scan is in an hour. I'm so nervous. I was diagnosed with PCOS and told I'd find it difficult to conceive but thankfully a week after this diagnosis I found out I was pregnant. This was back in March. The journey for me so far has been so emotional and draining, full of worries about things going wrong or things that could go wrong but I am finally getting over the morning sickness (I think). I'm so nervous about the scan. My husband can't come due to the covid situation and I'm scared of the absolute worst but at the same time it's like today will confirm everything has been real and the baby is really there. Without seeing the baby it's been difficult to think and remember that there's a life growing inside of me. It's been an emotional not to mention difficult roller coaster and I have mixed emotions today. Looking for words of encouragement.. thanks for taking your time to read my thread.

Hi OP, good luck with your scan today. It's completely natural to have 'scan anxiety', I've had 6 scans and get it every single time!
I'm sure your little one will be cooking away nicely in there. Take it all in and enjoy it x

I have my dating scan on Friday and the anxiety is killing me . I can’t sleep or enjoy the week. I hate scan anxiety 😔

Good luck!!!

Good luck with your scan. It's completely normal to feel nervous especially as you can't take anyone in with you at the minute but hopefully the hospital staff will look after you well and ease your nerves a little. Let us know how it goes. I hope it's a positive experience for you!

I had my dating scan yesterday and was very anxious due to 3 previous miscarriages (and one healthy pregnancy that gave me my beautiful daughter). Not having my fella with me was hard but the hospital staff were so lovely and took so much care. The sonographer did a very detailed scan, showing me far more than I remember last time and really took the time to explain what was on the screen - seeing two very clear legs kicking about was amazing! Best of luck, let us know how you get on x

Went okay! It felt a little rushed tbh but I found out I'm 10 weeks not 12. I'm glad I got to see my cute little baby it's sooo small!

Oh bless @Asianchick6693 pleased everything was ok. Do you have to go back in a couple of weeks?
I imagine it felt rushed as they are keen for women to be in the hospital for as short a time as possible so they just do what they need to do and that's it.

Asianchick6693 · 13/05/2020 14:13

@sel2223 yeah it's understandable. I really wanted to record too but couldn't. I have to go back when I'm 13 weeks, they've already set up the appointment. Just feel excitement now!

That's great news....treat it as an extra opportunity see your little one! You'll probably find the next scan a bit longer as they will do measurements like the NT for the screening tests etc

Delighted that it went well for you! I totally understand the anxiety.

Trixtah · 13/05/2020 17:16

Aww that's great news - it means you'll get to see your little one again soon x

Morganlove · 13/05/2020 17:51

I’m so glad it went well for you, such a huge relief isn’t it? x
