20 weeks scan on the 18th

so this is probably normal but I’m actually terrified. We didn’t get a private scan so the last one was just before 12 weeks and I keep thinking theres not going to be any heart beat. I’m not usually an anxious person but oh my goodness 🤦‍♀️ I need to keep my mind busy for the next week. It’s so hard when there’s no symptoms in the second trimester xxx hope everyone is doing good xxx

Hey, I was really nervous before our 20 week scan too, it feels like such a big milestone! I’m currently waiting on some MRI results as my placenta is really close to my cervix so I’m struggling with the wait for that! I was hoping I’d have a worry free time now we’ve actually managed to get pregnant but if anything the worry is even worse! I’m currently 29 weeks ☺️ X

not long now Boo! Honestly I was more worried for my 20 week than any other scan before that. It definitely doesn’t get any easier!! Deep breaths I am sure all is fine - keep us updated xx

I’m right there with you Boo, mines on Monday! As hypocritical as this sounds as I’m also panicking, you’ve made it this far and I’m sure everything is going to be okay! Take care of yourself until then and try and keep busy xx

mine isn’t far off either and I’m bricking it!!!!! Chance of things being bad are small and I keep focusing on that! Sending a hug x

I was a lunatic before my 20 week scan -totally feel for you. It is such a long wait from 12 - 20 with usually no movement.....

Finger's crossed for you and hope you can manage to relax at some stages while you wait.

Xxx

I’m the same - mine’s on Monday. Almost caved and booked a private scan for this week ive been so bad but my husband couldn’t make the times so we didn’t do it! Just trying to distract myself as much as possible x

it’s such a long wait isn’t it, even with all the waiting we do for IVF etc. Not too long to go now. I totally stressed out too with the no symptoms part but it was truly amazing to see the 20 week scan as scary as the wait was.x
