scan date not til october 😩 how do i cope til then

[FindingMyFeet89]

hi everyone
just needed to vent really cos i feel like im goin out my mind. got my letter through for the heart specialist scan n its not til the start of october 😩 feels like forever away. i keep thinkin about that shadow on baby’s heart n convincing myself the worst.

i no people keep sayin dont google but i cant help myself n everythin i read is makin me panic more. im 21 weeks now n tryin to hold it together for the kids but inside im a wreck.

how do you even cope with waitin like this? has anyone managed to push appointments sooner or is it just a case of sittin it out?

I’m sorry you’re struggling OP, all you can do is wait. You could ask to be contacted if there are any cancellations but you won’t be the only person who is on the cancellation list. If they were desperatelt concerned about something serious you would be being seen more urgently than that so try to take that as a positive. Try to keep busy, keep yourself distracted, October isn’t too far away. Good luck.

thank u for sayin that ❤️ i keep tryin to remind myself if it was really serious they’d of got me in quicker. it just feels like every day is draggin right now n my head wont switch off. i might ring up n see if i can get on a cancellation list like u said. just so hard not to spiral xx
