12 week scan tomorrow and petrified

[RestorationInsanity]

Hello.

I've got my dating scan tomorrow when I'll be 12+3 based on an early scan I had that dated me at 6+1.

This pregnancy is a total miracle. I conceived while on HRT for early menopause following four years of infertility, failed IVF and donor IVF egg and starting to come to terms with the fact that at 31, my husband and I would never have a child.

I've had loads of symptoms, still do have some, and haven't had any bleeding or worrying signs, but I'm terrified of getting bad news tomorrow morning, not just because of what it will mean but also because if COVID, having to relay the news to my husband myself because he can't be at the scan.

I know noone can guarantee things will be ok tomorrow, but just looking for a bit of support to get me through what I think is going to be a very long day!

Thanks so much for all your support ladies. Saw our beautiful baby wriggling around measuring a bit further on at 13 weeks and all looking wonderful!

Am in a state of shock and relief.

Will post a pic in a bit in case anyone wants to guess!

That is amazing news!! How lovely for you. Congratulations, hope you can feel more relaxed and start to get excited now xxx

This is such a crazy story. Congratulations! Well done, little wiggler!

That's lovely. I'm so glad everything went well.

Congratulations OP, lovely news . Hopefully you can relax a little bit now (remember the symptoms often ease off a bit in the second trimester!!). I liked the PP who said this is good practice for when they are born... all of a sudden you have to share them with the outside world which is a whole new level of fear-inducing!

Congratulations!

Awwww lovely news OP! You can now breath!
Enjoy your pregnancy and I hope everything continues to go well for you.
Just a tip, the ligament pain will come in a variety of ways. From feeling like period pains to feeling like you're being stabbed in one place!
Unless the pain is unbearable then 'usually' it's totally normal! 🥰🥰

Lovely news OP! Congratulations.

It feels a lot more real and am going to try and just work on the basis, that all will probably be fine!

And here he/she is!

Congratulations OP. Baby is looking super cute! My 12 week scan is 1 week away. I've already had a scan at 10 weeks and I'm still nervous! All the best for the rest of your pregnancy xx

Aah congratulations...now try and relax . X

Going to guess girl for you beautiful baby xx

I'm guessing boy

This baby is definitely meant to be. Enjoy every minute. My guess is boy.

There's a pretty even split among people who have had a guess! I think we're going to wait and find out when he/she arrives so a little while to go! I have relaxed so much and just feel really excited now. Thanks so much again for all your supportive comments.
