Genuinely terrified of first scan

[edgylemons]

Have a scan in just over a week to find out how far along (irregular periods, can't pinpoint how many weeks) I'm so nervous!!!
I've had symptoms, fatigue, sometimes nauseas and I've gone off a lot of foods - and my moods are ridiculous.

But I'm just so scared!! Wondering what if they find nothing? What if it's ectopic? And all the other worries

After many years of trying I am just praying that it's a normal healthy pregnancy!!

Just want to wish you the best. Try not to worry. Just take it one day at a time.

Firstly congratulations!
Nerves before a scan are totally normal!
Good luck and enjoy seeing your baba!

@edgylemons I had an early scan at 6 and a half weeks and luckily we did see a tiny dot with a heartbeat but I had another 6 weeks to wait til we got to the 12 week scan. I had very little symptoms at all and had worked myself up so much about it I just presumed they were going to say there isn’t a baby in there. The second they put the ultrasound on my belly I could see him instantly and could clearly see his heart beating so I stopped worrying straight away. I couldn’t actually believe he was in there! Have faith that everything will be okay, I really wish I hadn’t spent all that time worrying so much. My friend is going through a terrible time at the moment and it’s made me realise how lucky I am to have a healthy baby in there. Hope everything goes well x
