I have my 6 and a half week viability scan tomorrow and I’m feeling very anxious. Any words of comfort?

Wishing you all the best for your scan. I was absolutely terrified before mine- especially as I’d had some spotting. Sending positive thoughts

Was everything ok for you?

I had one. I’d had some spotting and a scan showed a sac but too early for a heartbeat. Had another a week later, at around six and a half weeks or so, and there was the heartbeat. All was fine. Hope all is fine with you too OP.

I had one at 6w3d to ease my concerns, all went well. Don’t panic if you can’t see a heartbeat yet, days can be off etc ❤️

I had one, he’s an adult now.

Yes, everything was fine for me, touch wood. My scan was at 7 weeks and they saw a heartbeat. I’m at 15 weeks now and slightly less worried than I was before the 12 week scan, but I did have to have several scans before that due to more spotting etc. It’s a really difficult time, be gentle with yourself and try to find ways to relax. Sending best wishes for your scan today.

Just got home and all went really well 6w4d and very clear heartbeat! Very glad we went after all.
