Scan anxiety

Just wanting to see if im alone on this...
Had lots of scans etc at the start of the pregnancy due to having the coil.. they couldn't find it... anyway everyone was very cautious of the outcome at every appointment and scan due to that so I was always waiting for the bad news to come at the next visit, things have been mostly fine since then, working on the assumption the coil came out during the previous months heavy cycle everything has been normal (apart from a bleed at 14 weeks that we assume was just from cervix as baby was completely fine and no other cause to be seen) I'm 18w4 now, had a private scan at 16weeks that was completely normal with little one bouncing around but as we are getting closer to 20w scan next Friday I can feel the anxiety building again constantly worried that this is going to be the moment the spell is broken.
Is it normal (or at least experienced by others) to be constantly worried about things being wrong even if there's no signs?
Sorry for rambling but with crazy hormones going on at the moment I'm sending myself a bit loopy and wanted to know if this is normal first time mom anxieties

Meee. We had an 8 week scan yesterday and l was very anxious before we went in. I was thinking the worst whilst driving there

I've been fine the past couple weeks since the last one but now the next scan is in sight all I can think is that somethings going to be wrong and there's going to be a terrible moment they tell you or you see no movement on scan, my partner just thinks I'm worrying for nothing and can understand being stressed about it when there's been no sign of something to worry about 🤦‍♀️

I cant imagine how scary that is Blibby! Maybe the midwife could check you with the doppler first so not as scary as calling and going to the hospital but a little check?

I managed to call them and was asked to come in.. All is well heard good HB but have a slight non serious infection which hopefully antibiotics will cure... Now to wait for 20 week scan in two weeks..i thought this anxiety would go by second trimester 😂

Oh I'm so glad for you! When I had the bleed a few weeks ago I was crying on the way to see the midwife just for a strong hb and wiggly baby, every milestone you think will get rid of the anxiety but there's always something! I was terrified of mmc in the first trimester so now I'm trying to convince myself that if anything bad happened to him I would have symptoms to show something wasn't right at this stage
