Scan tomorrow

[Looby25]

Hey guys

I feel bad for writing this as I know a few people lately have had bad news but I’m really struggling today!

We are due for our 12 week scan tomorrow and I feel physically sick, I am a terrified that our moment of happiness is going to come crashing down around us!

I’ve seen on here a few times that people go for the scan and the baby has no heart beat!

My husband keeps telling me we have no reason to believe anything is wrong but I’ve never had any of the typical pregnancy symptoms and other than a swollen belly from the over stimulation I don’t feel any different! I’m just so scared, does anyone know if it’s common for babies to stop growing?

I’m sorry for fretting on here when I should be excited, I do know how lucky we are to have had a positive result!

Hoping you lovely ladies are all doing ok on this emotional rollercoaster of a journey x x x

While I can't help, I've got my 7 week scan tomorrow and I'm freaking out! My husband is telling me to calm down but it's hard not to panic. I truly understand how lucky I am to get this far and after surgery, ivf and years of ttc I am fully appreciative of my position but im terrified of it all being snatched away from me. Best of luck tomorrow xx

I’m glad I’m not the only person! I feel awful for not being all relaxed and excited but like you said it’s taken so long to get here I’m just so worried of something going wrong 😬

Good luck for tomorrow hope all goes well x x x

How did your scan go? Fingers crossed all good news for you x

I think this is quite normal. I had scans at 6,7,8,10 and 12 weeks and still freaked out at every scan.

I’m sure you’ll be absolutely fine. Good luck! Xx

Hope all is going ok with you! Thank you x x

It’s so normal to be frightened, I was the same at every single scan!

Lots of people feel fine during pregnancy and don’t have many symptoms so try not to worry! (Easier said than done I know). Xxx

[Looby25 in reply to Amanda86]

Thank you! Hope all is going well with you xx

Remember to breath!! It’s such an anxious time but it’s not fun for either of you to be in that state... I generally managed to relax when I pottered round the house with music on, singing along badly 🤣 took my mind of things even if it wasn’t for long!! Big hugs and I hope all is well 💕 xx

[Looby25 in reply to Squeak2]

Off all day tomorrow so I’ll make sure I wake the neighbours with my singing lol!! And thank you, I hope you are doing well x x

[Squeak2]

Music is still on lol whilst waiting for the clinic to phone with news of my next protocol 😆 that and it takes my mind off the housework I need to go and do!! Hugs xx

I think I would be scared too if I were in your position, I think it must be natural to feel that way. Wishing you lots of luck for tomorrow. I am sure everything is going to be fine xx

[Looby25 in reply to Dunla]

Thank you, I really hope you’re doing ok x x x

[Dunla in reply to Looby25]

I’m not too bad all considered, thanks pet 💕

Best of luck. I have my 7 week scan next week and already feeling like you are. My last 7 week scan didn’t go so well. All the love to you and your little miracle xxx

[Looby25 in reply to PPDo]

Sorry to hear that! I hope this scan is magical for you, thank you and to you too 💕 xx

Hi,

I’m 5 weeks 4 days today and am already petrified about our scan in 2 weeks. It’s such a natural thing for any pregnancy but I think the fear is exaggerated with all of us because it has been so difficult to get to this point.

Try to relax as much as you can but also accept that you will be anxious tonight and tomorrow. Sometimes you just have to sit with difficult emotions. Do some relaxation techniques if you find them helpful and try to distract yourself with something nice.

I wish you so much luck for tomorrow and look forward to hearing all about the scan. I’m sure it will be amazing and everything will be fine.

Sending lots of love and hugs xxx

Thank you violet, listened to my mindful app again last night and managed a half decent sleep! Now the wait til 4.00pm 🙈

And you’re right I think we stress that’s it’s all going to be ok because we know how quickly things can change!! Hope you are well and having a good pregnancy!! Xxx

[llc1987]

good luck today. I'm 27 weeks now and freak out the day before and day of every check up and scan. After the hard journey we take to get pregnant i think it's only natural to worry. X

[Looby25 in reply to llc1987]

Thank you! To be honest I’m glad to hear it’s not just me, I’m sure my husband is starting to think I’m going crazy!! Hope all is well with you and congratulations on your pregnancy x x

I had two missed miscarriages (where the baby has passed away but you don’t bleed etc) last year. Miscarriages in general make up one in four of all pregnancies but a missed miscarriage (what you describe) is much more rare. Turns out there’s an underlying condition with my blood which explains mine. As for symptoms I had many, they didn’t stop so please don’t get hung up on those, they’re not really a reliable indication of anything. Please let us know how you get on and wishing you the very best of luck 🍀 xx

[Looby25 in reply to Tugsgirl]

😢 so sorry to hear of your experiences, but thank you for your honest answer! Got my fingers crossed all will be ok. Thank you x x

[Tugsgirl in reply to Looby25]

I’m sure it will. I’ll keep mine crossed for you too 🤞 xx

Wishing you luck today!xx

Thank you xx

It’s only natural to be anxious as you have been through so much to get to where you are. That being said - worry doesn’t change anything. You can’t do anything different and all worry and panic will do is upset your little bundle so don’t get too upset. If something isn’t right, you’d likely know. When I lost my little one last year I could feel it wasn’t right - I couldn’t tell you what wasn’t right but it wasn’t right not that I had a frame of reference haha! Just try your best to relax, think positively and enjoy the experience that you’ve fought so hard for. I have faith you will be ok and your lil bubba will be waving at you on that screen

[Looby25 in reply to Maikai]

So sorry to hear of your loss. I haven’t felt any pains or any different at all in fact, unsure if that’s a good or bad thing! And thank you, I too hope we see some waving! Hope you are doing well x x x

[Maikai in reply to Looby25]

I’m grand - round two starting now!! What fun hahaha - you will be terrific tomorrow xx

[Tugsgirl in reply to Maikai]

Good luck xx

[Aleelilook]

Ah the fear is hideous, and so natural, but that doesn’t make it any better!!! Good luck lovely, wishing you a happy day! Xxx

[Looby25]

So all was amazing and everything perfect! I was an emotional wreck but think the hubby was too!! Thank you for all of your well wishes you are all truly incredible! Big hugs to you all x x x x
