[ChangingChances89]

got my 20wk scan nxt week n honestly im petrified 😢 keep thinkin they gonna find somethin wrong. i been feelin baby move more now but still every day i panic like what if baby not ok. i know they check everything at this scan but part of me wish i cud just fast forward n know already. feel so silly cos this is my 5th but i never stop worryin. does any1 else feel like this??

Me. Utterly terrified. It's my 5th pregnancy, first 4 were MMCs between 8-12 weeks and scans bring so much anxiety. I also have had some bleeding this week (checked out and they said it was ok but I can't help but I think the worst). Scan is tomorrow morning so at least I don't have long to wait.

oh hun that sounds so scary 💔 i don’t blame u for bein terrified after goin thru all that before. even if they say the bleed is ok ur mind still goes straight to worst case 😢 i’ll be thinkin of u in the morning, hope ur little one is wrigglin away safe ❤️

I was also very nervous as couldn’t feel baby properly move yet (have anterior placenta), very pleased to report that 20 wk scan today was all normal. I just reminded myself that for the vast majority, things are likely to be ok. I hope it all goes well for you xxx

@Ivf4203 I've got an anterior placenta too - does not help with the anxiety at all!

@Moosey898 not at all! Yesterday we could see baby bouncing around and moving a ton during the scan and I could not feel any of it. I remember midwife said it can take up to 24 weeks to feel baby. Hope your scan goes well also xx

@Ivf4203 scan today was all good for me as well thank you ☺️- baby was waving at us, could see the fingers curling and uncurling. Hopefully we both get movement soon so can get some reassurance from that!xx
