12 weeks anxiety for scan

[BEO]

Hi everyone. So I was 12 weeks on the 5th august but don’t have my scan until 11th. Guess I’m just after some sort of reassurance. I’m so so nervous and anxious because I just don’t feel pregnant. Throughout the whole first trimester so far I’ve had very little symptoms and so really scared for this scan incase something has happened . I know symptoms arent tell tale of a healthy pregnancy but lack of symptoms just make me think I’m not pregnant.

my best friend had a missed miscarriage earlier this year and I guess that’s just making me think the worst incase it’s happened to me. I know I shouldn’t think like this but my anxiety is just horrendous leading up to this scan I have no idea how I will sleep this week!

I did have a scan private at 7 weeks where we seen heart beat but it’s been nearly 6 weeks since then and I’m so nervous .

I am now 18 weeks and symptomless xx I felt the same. Sending you lots of love xx

I'm similar . My symptoms are always so/so apart from tiredness. Everything else comes and goes.
No sickness at all.

Spotting occasionally (has been checked out twice)

My next scan is tomorrow and will be 3 weeks since my last. I am terrified too 😫

Did your friend with the mmc know how far along she was in growth?

You can have zero symptoms and all is ok, do you even have tender boobs or absolutely nothing? Even if so all can be ok.

Chances are everything will be absolutely fine. Seeing a heartbeat at 7 weeks drastically reduces chance of miscarriage. Try not to worry.
But I'll warn you, the worry won't go away after the 12 week scan, it continues throughout pregnancy and beyond. That's parenthood for you!

I should add, I had zero symptoms with all 3 of my pregnancies x

Thanks everyone for reassurance!
@Mangotango39 my friend had an early scan at 7/8 weeks and seen a heart beat then went to 12 week scan and it had died they think at week 10.

i think I’m more worried because I have 5 friends and work colleagues who are all pregnant and due around when I am . They all have raging symptoms and obviously it’s brought up in conversation a lot and then I just don’t have anything. No sore boobs no nothing lol. It’s great really just makes me a little anxious as all you hear about when talking about pregnancy Is symptoms! But thanks all and good luck to you in your pregnancies ❤️

Hi

I felt exactly the same as the same happened to my best friend twice and then it took us a while to get pregnant (2nd baby) so I was really anxious.

Try not to stress too much as you’ve already had an early scan for reassurance, your scan is this week now in a few days so I hope it all goes well and puts your mind at ease. Xx

Don't worry. Try to relax as that's best for the pregnancy. I don't think too many people have that many symptoms in the beginning. I didn't. Congratulations

I've got my 12 week scan on the 11th too @BEO I can completely sympathise with how your feeling. My symptoms have been so up and down this pregnancy, I have days where I feel awful and then days where I'm completely fine and don't feel pregnant at all.

This is baby #2 for me but I had two miscarriages before DS, one was a mmc so the anxiety is always there that something has happened and I have no idea. I haven't had any early scans this pregnancy. I became a bit obsessed with them with DS and had 3 before my 12 week scan, but the reassurance after them never lasted very long for me so I've tried to steer clear this time.

It's positive you've had an early scan and everything was all good. Only 3 more sleeps to go! X

Hi @Mangotango39 how did your scan go? xx

@Hopeful588 my scan went perfectly thank you for asking!!!

just shows you can have minimum symptoms and regular spotting but it can be Ok 🙏very happy and overwhelmed today x

@Mangotango39 thats wonderful news!! Congratulations!! Soo pleased for you 😊😊 xx

I didn't realise have any symptoms with my pregnancy. It was the only time I was late and had no idea yet the other times (took me years to conceive) i convinced myself I had 'symptoms'. Looking back the only thing was wine tasted weird before I tested and I had very strong sense of smell. Was only sick a couple of times

Thanks everyone scan went good everything as it should be! So happy xxxx

That's a amazing news. So happy for you! 🎉🙂
