12 week scan today- feeling apprehensive

[Char2020]

Hi all

I have my 12 week scan at half 9 and am feeling very apprehensive about it, I’ve been here before and found out that I had a mmc at my last 12 week scan. It wasn’t a total shock as I had a feeling something was wrong the day before but the feelings of loss were awful. This time round I’m feeling good, all symptoms are still there and I don’t have any negative feelings like there may be anything wrong but I’m just so worried this will happen again and not sure how I would cope getting through it all again. I’m a very strong person emotionally and can deal with pretty much anything but losing a baby is traumatic to say the least, I’m just not sure I would cope doing it again.

I’m not even sure why I’m writing this I think I just need to let it out xx

Just wanted to say good luck, I hope everything goes well for you today xx

Good luck for today, wishing you all the best for a great scan today. I've been there with a mmc and the scanxiety is awful after. I'm 23+3 now and I still have moments of anxiety every couple of days!

It's so hard not to worry. I had a mmc in June last year, and like you, I knew something wasn't quite right and it was confirmed at the 12 week scan. I am now 36 weeks pregnant, and I remember the 12 week scan like it was yesterday, although this pregnancy felt fine, I was still panicking. Lots of deep breaths, wishing you a successful scan 😊

Oh good luck. My first pg was a mmc. It was awful. My second pg is now nearly 17!

Hope everything goes OK, 9.30 will come around in no time xx

Good luck OP

Hope it goes well, I was you on Wednesday so totally understand how you feel. Wishing you luck

Wishing you all the best OP 💕 xx

Best of luck OP! Let us know how you get on.

Thanks so much for all your replies. The scan went very well. All is good wiggle away nicely. I couldn’t be happier. They dated me at 13+2 which is a lot further than I expected.

Oh I’m so very very pleased for you!! That’s brilliant news.

Thanks all much appreciated x

Great news!!!

Congrats!!! Isn’t it a relief!!!

Congratulations what a great scan! I was in the same position as you however luckily our hospital let us have 2 early scans with this pregnancy which really helped (39 weeks now) but I still felt anxious about going back to the same part of the hospital where we found out at the first pregnancy 12 week scan about the MMC. I also for some reason felt that we maybe wouldn’t get good news, it’s strange how we know!
