Dating scan anxiety

[LunaSky2]

I am currently (going by ivf dates) 11w & 1d and my dating scan is in 11 days! Does anyone have advice for keeping me sane? I feel like my anxiety has been kept at bay but all of a sudden feeling very nervous & like I can't wait till the 24th! We've had 2 scans already, one at 8&1 with our ivf clinic where everything was perfect & another at 9&5 where I measured 9&1 ( spent a while trying not to worry about that) however still all amazing with a heartbeat! I just cannot get it out of my head that somethings gone wrong or expecting the worst at our dating, don't think it helps I've been off work with it being the summer holidays!

Any advice for keeping me going for the next week & a bit??

I was exactly the same, absolutely dreaded the wait between viability and dating. Just try and focus on the positives; you’ve had 2 strong scans and there’s nothing to suggest that the next one won’t be. I thought it would get easier too, but I’m 23wks today and I still dread the scans! Best of luck 😘 xx

That is exactly what im trying to tell myself, we've had 2 amazing scans & there is nothing to say the next won't be! I shall just keep repeating it, I was hoping it gets easier but I feel like it might not hahah! Congratulations to you aswell!! Xxx

Hi Luna, I totally understand how you feel as I was the same! Are there any activities that relax you and could take your mind off ? I did watercolours and it helped a bit. Fingers cross the time will fly x
