How to distract myself while waiting for my scan?

Got my first ever scan in 4 weeks, little voice in my head says "what if" there's no heartbeat, so I'm really putting a lot of pressure on the scan at the moment and it feels like time is dragging. Any advice on how to distract myself in the meantime? I have hobbies but feel so sick and tired it's hard to do much, but I feel like I need something to get me through the weeks.

Scanxiety is awful isn't it!

The first one at 12 weeks is the worst and it doesn't help that you're so tired and haven't got the energy to do much in the first trimester.

I don't have any real advice as I remember how hard it was but I just wanted you to know that you're definitely not alone.
