12 week scan Thursday

[Babydust76]

Hi guys, my anxiety is through the roof, just need to talk to someone. I am currently 11 weeks 5 days and I have my 12 week scan on Thursday, I had a miscarriage beginning of the year I’m so scared that they’re going to say there’s no heartbeat etc, I haven’t had any bleeding or clotting there’s just those thoughts in my mind. I have had twinges and light cramps now and then but I just put that down to everything moving, my midwife said if there’s no bleeding it should all b ok. Any others felt like this just need someone to talk to and reassure me

Hi, I'm 11 weeks today and have my scan a week Friday. I was lucky enough to have an 8 week scan where we got to see the heartbeat and that everything was OK, but honestly since about a week after that scan I've been so anxious too. I am so paranoid about a missed miscarriage it's awful. I'm sorry to hear about your miscarriage, that understandably makes it harder to cope with anxiety. This is my first pregnancy so whilst I haven't been through the pain of a miscarriage, we'd been trying for 4 years with three rounds of ivf, so it's been so hard to get to this point it feels like something could go wrong at any minute.
I try to take it day by day and think that even if something awful happens I want to be able to enjoy this time as much as I can as this will almost definitely be my only pregnancy whether successful or not.
There's not much anyone can say to make you feel better but I think most of us feel like this to some extent. Make sure that if it gets too much to cope with that you seek help.

@Dove88 so sorry to hear about the struggle of conceiving for you. I hope everything winds out for you and you get your miracle baby.
I’ve got further then o was with my last pregnancy, I was 9 weeks 4 days when I mc last but I just feel like it’s too good to b true xx

@Babydust76 I absolutely understand the too good to be true feeling. I spend so much time worrying that I'm going to jinx it by thinking about how we will announce etc, but we have to try and enjoy it too

Yes 100% agree x

Hey @Babydust76 … am completely with you there. I also had a MMC at 9w which was only discovered @ 12w scan. I am now pregnant again (only 7w) and am dreading everyday as worrying it’s going to happen again ☹️. Also doesn’t help that I have zero symptoms again!
Am so pleased you have got this far this time around, look at that as the positive and focus on that until Thursday. I’ve read loads r.e. MC’s and the odds are in your favour for a successful pregnancy after a misscarriage. I am sure Thursday will come around before you know it and you will see a beautiful baby with a HB wriggling around. Let us know how you get on.

@AlwaysSeekingComfort I will let you know thankyou. I’m so sorry to hear about your miss miscarriage. Funny enough I haven’t had many symptoms this pregnancy I’ve had sickness some days but being sick with bile. I’m trying to stay positive but it’s really hard. I hope you get your rainbow baby too! Can you see if you can have a early scan, I asked my midwife about one and she said they will give you one to put your mind at ease xxx

@Babydust76 yes let us know 🤞🏻 I’m sure all will be fine 💐
Haven’t you? It is nice to hear when people say they had zero symptoms and had healthy pregnancies (a lot of people replied to me on a couple of threads on here saying exactly that, no symptoms at all but perfect healthy bubba’s!). It is sooo hard I know. Wish there was something I could say to make you/us all feel better.

I did have an early scan last week Friday (thought I was 6w 3d but scan showed 6w 5d with a little HB). Was over the moon. I have another private scan again in 2 weeks when I will be 9w to put my mind at ease again and hopefully see a HB again, then hopefully I’ll get my NHS 12w scan through at some point! Xx

Awww that’s fab news! Everything’s looking positive for you so far!! Won’t b long I had my 12 week scan letter when I was 9 weeks xxx

UPDATE!!
@AlwaysSeekingComfort @Dove88

@Babydust76 brilliant news! So happy for you. Mines due feb 15th ❤️ still got another week before my scan though! x

Awwww have you!!xx

I'm so pleased to hear this. I have my scan tomorrow and have been riddled with anxiety this week. I'm absolutely adamant that I'm going to get the worse news possible. Your post has made me feel slightly more relaxed 😌

@Mamaux I was feeling the exact same babe, I went into the room in tears, I’ve been thinking the worst all week! But then scan showed a healthy baby x
