Eek. I'm so nervous. I had put it out my mind with half term and everything and now I have serious scanxiety!

Best of luck Rosie! Flowers

I had my 12 week scan (at 13 weeks) last week and was a bag of nerves. Baby was all fine but now I’m nervous for my 16 week heartbeat check… I think pregnancy for me will just be a case of waiting and being nervous between appointments, but we just have to get on with it really!

Good luck @RosieLemonade

I had mine on Thursday. Baby was being a little monkey and so they couldn't get through the 11 checks and I need to go back again 😅
It was a lovely to see how they'd grown though. Hope your little one is feeling less mischievous than mine x

Ah good luck :) It is just a waiting game isn't it, from milestone to milestone. I heard the heartbeat for the first time yesterday - 16 week appt but am 17+3. So that was nice. Baby 3 for me so haven't been thinking about it much until every so often boom 'is it even alive???' pops into my head Grin

Best of luck today!

Thanks! My trust doesn't do a 16 week heartbeat check but I have felt flutters today so I'm assuming that's a good thing 🙈

Ahh that’s lovely, especially that it’s happened today Smile. I can’t wait to feel my baby move, about 6 weeks to go but I was told I have a posterior placenta at my scan which is good!

Aww good luck @RosieLemonade Smile I thought the 20w scan was an amazing experience, seeing so much detail of baby's little body! It was fascinating seeing the different chambers of the heart, their little spine etc. I was a nervous wreck beforehand though haha.
