So scared for 12 week scan!!

[iceicebaby1234]

Hey
So it's my first pregnancy and I can't stop feeling negative and scared for my 12 week scan next week. I do now have occasions of feeling positive but that lasts for like 5 mins. Everyone I have spoke to says I'm a young healthy person, my midwife etc; but then that doesn't really matter does it. I had a private scan when I was 6 weeks, you could see baby and a heartbeat, but I just can't stop worrying.
Anyone else felt/feels like this??

99% of people feel this way. It's completely normal.
It'd probably be more concerning if you weren't worried about the possibility of something being wrong.

I get myself so worked up before scans and always cry the morning of them with worry

My 12 week scan is 2 weeks today when I'll actually be 13+3 so I've booked private scan for Friday so my partner can come with me. I posted a thread like this a little earlier and I feel the exact same! First baby and no reason to be worried and had an early scan with a healthy heartbeat and still panicking for Friday.

It's really is such a worrying time and I think our brains just go into overdrive, but I'm sure things will be perfect for us!

Unfortunately pregnancy is just a worrying time, it never stops does it. As much as we’re supposed to enjoy it it’s hard when you can’t see your baby inside you and you’re only going by things like symptoms and movement etc.

My advice is just take it a day at a time and only think as far as getting through that particular day. Enjoy the day and enjoy the little baby growing inside you. Before you know it hopefully he/she will be in your arms x

I had my 12 week scan yesterday and like you was very anxious! The woman scanning me was so lovely and baby popped up on the screen within seconds, all that worrying for nothing!! I don’t think I can say anything that will stop you worrying, as we’ll probably worry the whole way through 😂
