Bad feeling

I think I just need to get this out of my system by having it written down.
I have my routine scan tomorrow (17 weeks with twins) have had scans every two weeks since 11 weeks so far.
I had my 16 week midwife app last Thursday and heard both babies. I don't feel really like anything has physically changed although my belly seems to just feel flabby now and as still early although I've had a few pops they've not been anything to write home about. But today I just have this overwhelming feeling something isn't right.
I've not had any cramping or bleeding that might suggest something could be wrong but I don't know it's just something. I don't know if it's my head messing with me or my head saying go in to tomorrow's scan with the expectation something is wrong :( can't shake it.app is 945 so not got ages to wait through the day but still just want it over with.. feels more than just scanxiety this time 😔

Oh Emma, I get this before every scan. But imagine with twins the worry must be ten fold.
16weeks is very early to feel anything, and a lot of women don’t show at all. You should still be able to feel your own body fat. What you’ve said doesn’t sound concerning.
Sending you love, I hope you can get a good night sleep xx

The mind definitely seems able to do funny things just now. I am at the same stage as you (just one baby though!) and regularly have these kind of thoughts although likewise having no issues (not since the 12 week scan anyway). I feel like this is a funny stage of the pregnancy as gladly in the majority of cases everything will be OK as we are past the first trimester but there's no big bump, clear movements etc to help it feel real.

Try and relax so you can get some sleep tonight. Very best wishes to you for tomorrow.

Sorry I also should have said (although unlikely to make a difference) this is my second pregnancy. I have a 17 month old, I began to show at about 11 weeks and have a good size 'bump' which has felt at times like I can feel little lumps of hard if I press down gently like its baby which is why I'm now worried I've not felt anything other than my flab like my tummy is now empty.
The mind is a horrible thing sometimes it really is. I'm going to put my phone in the draw I think and try and rest if not sleep. Thankfully little boy is in nursery tomorrow so either way I can rest afterwards a few hours! Thank you ladies xx
