Deflated after 12 week scan?!?

I find I always feel better after posting here so there's really no point to this other than having somewhere to say it 🙈
I am PG with baby no.2 and have been so nervous and counting down to my 12 week scan which was today. All went well and they said everything looked good as far as they can see other than measuring a few days behind which is normal! I just can't shake this weird feeling that something just looked weird on the screen! I was expecting to be excited and relieved but I just kinda feel empty which I dont understand 🤦‍♀️
I've barely slept this week and had such heightened emotions coming up to the scan so I'm wondering if its just the fact that I've kinda crashed after all of the adrenaline and build up and I will feel better once I've had some sleep and time to accept all is ok! Im hoping this is the case 🙏
Has anyone else felt like this?

Scans aren't exact so don't be stressing but find things to enjoy between scans. I feel the same though.

It'll just be a psychological reaction to everything being ok after worrying so much.

I'm only 5w pregnant and already worried about my 12w scan. It's a stressful time. Our minds can work in strange ways trying to cope.

Agree with above posters. Also it’s a long time until you get to see your baby again and there’s a while til you feel kicks, so it can be a bit of a let down after as there’s not much else going on for a while. I agree though that you could feel this time with looking into baby things like cot, pram etc, as it makes it feel more real and exciting in the run up to 20 week scan. 🙂

Don’t worry, I felt the same and I wasn’t sure why! I felt quite sad. Maybe it’s because it’s such a long wait to see them again at your next scan! I was so happy to see them but it’s over so soon, that I left feeling a bit deflated. So you are not alone!
