12 week scan - bad feeling

[Yellowdaff25]

I have a 12 week scan later this afternoon and I’m feeling absolutely petrified. I don’t know why because I haven’t had any reason to think things have stopped progressing but I’ve just convinced myself something bad has happened.

This is my second pregnancy and although some days I definitely look like I have a small bump other times like this morning I look basically normal (my size 10 jeans fit exactly the same) so I’ve convinced myself baby isn’t growing and any ‘bump’ is a result of normal bloating.

I’ve had a private scan at 10 weeks and everything looked great but this morning I just feel like I’m bracing myself for bad news😩

Just looking for a handhold and to know if anyone else had these worries? Google image is showing me that everyone’s bump in second pregnancy should at least be noticeable by now🥺

I’ve not had any scans yet , and my 12 week on is next week and I’m also feeling quite worried about it!! I’ve got less symptoms than last time so it just feels weird! I’m also not bloated at all and actually feel quite slim in the mornings especially, the only hint of bloating I get is in the evening. After a great 10 week scan there is more likelihood for everything to be progressing as it should, it is probably pregnancy hormones and anxiety making you feel this way.

Baby is tiny at 12 weeks, if people have a ‘bump’ it is bloating. I didn’t have a proper bump until about 18 weeks or a bit later with second pregnancy. If baby was all good at 10 weeks stats are overwhelmingly in your favour

I hate the 12 week scan. I literally gave myself a migraine with my first, i'm lucky that both times everything has been fine and odds are everything will be. But i'm not a 'that will never happen to me' attitude kind of person! I'm more of a 'well why wouldn't it happen to me?' so I have always gone in slightly prepared? I think we mentally prepare ourselves sometimes i know i do. I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you! 😁xx

I was really anxious at both of my 12 week scans too (and all of them to be honest!)
Hoping you come back here later today with amazing news! 🤞🏻

I was terrified for my 12 week scan as I had a missed miscarriage with my first pregnancy which was a total shock. This time I did an earlier private scan and at 10 weeks baby was perfect. Chances are your baby will be absolutely fine, you've had a scan already and all was good! So chances are in your favour. I wouldn't expect to have any bump by 12 weeks either!!

IIRC I don't think my body felt any different at 12 weeks. I bloated earlier than that but started getting less by 12 weeks. Was wearing my usual clothes until much later. Fingers crossed for you all goes well today, thinking of you xx

Thank you all for your lovely supportive responses. I’m glad to report that everything is looking great and I am very relieved! x
