Huge anxiety about first scan tomorrow. Only found out I was pregnant just over a week ago.

From my LMP, I will be 14 weeks on the dot tomorrow.
I’ve opted for the screening. I’m just so terrified about the whole thing.
I’ve had bad news in the scanning room before (MMC), I’m still in shock to be honest.

I was hoping to get my BMI down before we TTC again. I was on the pill and took it religiously. Periods have always been very irregular so nothing suspect with not having one for a couple of months. I’m not sure whether I’ll have a consultant appointment tomorrow or not but I’m so ashamed of myself for being such a burden on the NHS. Especially at this time. I eating as well as I can and have started exercising everyday hoping it will help with the BP issues I had last time.

Sorry I’ve just got nowhere to offload.

Sounds like it's a been a surprising week for you! It's perfectly fine to be worried about your scan - I'll be in bits next week at mine and I've had 7 weeks to get my head round being pregnant.

Well done on making changes for a healthy diet and more exercise - that's a really positive step. You're not a burden - be kind to yourself. Fingers crossed every thing goes well.

I have a high BMI and not once has it even been mentioned that I should be seeing a consultant, even though previous pregnancy (MMC) i was told at my booking in I would be and BMI hasn't changed since then. I don't know whether to be annoyed or not. I'm 14 wks now. Please dont worry about the NHS, just ensure you get the best care you deserve xx

Thank you for your kind words. I just feel as though I’ve been reckless. Still can’t believe it’s happening to be honest.

Posted too soon. At the same time I’m terrified there’s going to be nothing there or I’m going to have had another MMC and will have to choose how to deal with it. I really don’t want to go through that again.

Be kind to yourself Op . Its obviously a big shock and understandably your anxious, but take it slow. Your feeling okay atm, you get a scan to check all okay tomorrow, you are definitely not a burden!

Wishing you all the best for tomorrow x

I hope your okay OP- how did the scan go?
