Anomaly scan tomorrow..sick with worry

Im 21 weeks pregnant after losing my last two babies late in pregnancy...Ive posted before about my pregnancy anxieties....

I had a nuchal scan which was fine and another scan at 15 weeks..both were private but I kind of hoped that anything major would be spotted..
I had a private gender scan on friday and the sonographer put the fear of god into me...she was very quiet and merely checked the sex then spent 5 mins taking measurements and frowning a lot..she then asked when my anomaly scan was..usually at a private scan they will point things out to you..but she said nothing..DH and I actually felt uneasy.
she said that although I must understand that she wasnt checking baby's anatomy..she would tell us if she spotted anything worrying..but at the end of the scan she again asked when I was attending for my next scan..

So Ive convinced myself that something horrible is wrong and I cant go to bed even though Im exhausted

Thanks memorylapse I'm so glad it all went well for you! Had my anomoly scan today and thankfully everything is fine. Bub was lying in an awkward position at first so got sent for a walk and a hot chocolate! And had it confirmed that she's definitely a girl! The placenta is anterior but high so they're not worried. Here's to a Happy New Decade of happy healthy babies!
