Nervous for scan

[lenny12345]

I'll be 8 weeks tomorrow. I'm so nervous for my second scan, I had one at 6 weeks when I thought I was 6+5 and there was a heartbeat.

First time I'd ever seen a heart beat so it was amazing but now im worrying if it will still be there tomorrow.

I've been thinking about my baby every day and I just want this to be okay soooo badly. I've done everything I can to ensure they will be fine but you just never know. I know I have no control over this but wondering if anyone else felt the same.

I've not had a huge deal of sickness so I think that's making me worried too!!

Join the club! I don't know anyone on here that wouldn't be nervous!
Why are you having a scan just two weeks after the last?

The first trimester is an awful worry, in fact the first trimester is just awful in general! I had a private scan at, what I thought was 10 weeks, but turned out to be 11. If had some brown spotting in the days before and had convinced myself there’d be no heartbeat. It was awful, I dreaded going in for the scan. I’m 37 weeks now though and that stage seems like a distant memory. Pre scan worry is totally normal, I Was the same before the 20 week scan! Fingers crossed all is well for you 😊

Is there a reason you’re having early scans?

@cat709 because I have a history of loss. I've had 6 miscarriages previously

@Sls668 thank you. You've helped ease my worry's a little. I had brown spotting too before my 6 week scan and that was a good scan too! Fingers crossed the same again tomorrow xx

@peachypetite I've had 6 losses before this pregnancy. I'm high risk so will be monitored every 2 weeks

Sorry for your losses, it makes sense. I wasn’t sure if you were doing it out of anxiety or another reason. I remember how anxious I felt before my 12 week scan but there’s nothing you can do really. Fingers crossed for you.

You poor thing. You've already seen the heartbeat so that's a big milestone - I'm sure this scan will go swimmingly xx

Hello @lenny12345 even I am having scan every 2 weeks once because of previous late miscarriage.
So far I have had 2 scans, one at 7th week and one at 9th week.
I have got scan this Saturday and I am already sleepless :( fingers crossed for our rainbow 🤞🤞
