Am I crazy?

[Pregnantpolly]

I am a ridiculous person in general so was anxious from first seeing the pg test turn positive. I knew I'd likely have multiple private scans if only for reassurance.

Cue last Monday, for my booking in scan 11+2 . Ultrasound was 6+ years and not great. All photos are blurred. Machine kept going out of programme and she'd have to go back in. Measurements were 3 days behind. This absolutely terrifies me as I know my dates (and private scan around 8 week mark put me exact).
I've booked a scan for next Monday 13+2. I'm just so anxious and a pessimistic person.
I had morning sickness from 8 weeks until about a day or so ago which scares me that it's away with just nausea.

Having cramps in stomach past couple of days. Before I had like a heaviness.

I'm really scared in general and want to phone for advice but don't want to pester them

3 days is nothing. I was anxious at a loss of symptoms at around 12 weeks and managed to persuade my midwife to let me have a scan ahead of my official dating one. All was fine, as it was at my dating scan about a week later, but the dates for both were slightly different. This is entirely normal, as is your loss of nausea, and cramping is very common as your uterus grows and stretches at this stage.

I don’t think you have anything to worry about whatsoever. I know you still will worry, but urge you to try to hold off scanning again for a few weeks. Perhaps book an early gender scan as your next milestone? Otherwise you will end up seeking reassurance all the time. But really and truly, don’t worry.

@Crossornot thanks that's reassuring. Listening to a few podcasts etc to reassure me.

Hope you’re ok @Pregnantpolly it’s a worrying time. Like pp said a few days out is really no cause for concern as they are small still among other factors. Symptoms come and go and generally around the 12 week mark morning sickness etc gets a lot better for some women as they embark into the second trimester anyway. I know it’s hard but keep yourself busy and distracted, if you’re still feeling uneasy call your midwife for reassurance x

3 days is nothing 3 weeks is a different story! Sickness easing at 12 weeks well that’s lucky lol mine lasted until 13 weeks and that last week was the worst!! Cramping is normal and heaviness. Your baby and placenta are growing rapidly and your uterus needs to stretch to accommodate that. So it feels crampy and heavy. It’s all normal and good signs. I also had my scan at 13 weeks and I got to find out the gender from the nub theory afterwards it was amazing

@frenchie4002 thank you for the encouragement. I do want to contact midwife but don't want to needlessly pester her. I need to find ways to manage my anxiety though.

@Nikki037297 I think it's a boy so I guess the scan will hopefully go great for me on Monday and show a nub. Hope you're doing well.
