Viability scan nerves

It's my 6 week viability scan tomorrow and I'm just so anxious. Since bfp obviously I'm happy but my main feelings are of anxiety and stress.

I've booked myself in for hypnosis later in the week to try and help me relax, that might sound mad but I feel worse now than I did in 2ww. Please tell me I'm not alone in this?

Any tips on how to relax? Hopefully if viability scan goes well then I'll it will get better 🤞

Hoping your scan goes well tomorrow and as you reach each milestone you will relax a little more I hadn't imagined the stress after the BFP but fingers X'd for you x

We recently had our 7 week viability scan and felt more relaxed after it.

But now we are waiting for our 12 week and stressed again LOL! :)

I am not sure how to recommend to relax - but the night before there is literally nothing you can do to change the outcome, and what will be will be.

I am hoping you will see the little bean with a heartbeat tomorrow and feel a lot better :) It is really amazing to see it on the screen.... :)

Totally normal feelings. The worry doesn’t end at the bfp, it’s only the beginning.. Good luck for tomorrow xx

Good luck tomorrow. I was also wondering today about the early scan. This is the first time I've heard it called the viability scan. I hope the results are good for you.

Your hypnosis idea sound brilliant. Congrats on the result, we worried like made for our 7weeks, then our 12 week, then our 21 week!!

Its perfectly normal, especially for those who have struggled to get that BFP in the first place. Best of luck to you

I hope all goes well with your scan today and that it will help relieve your anxiety. I struggle with anxiety and our fertility treatments have unfortunately exacerbated the issue for me. I have had hypnotherapy before and it did help me at the time. Hope fully it can give you some relief too. Best of luck with everything xx

I was very nervous before our viability scan, I was crying before I saw anything on the screen, it's very common to feel that way so your not alome. I'm now on the wait for my 12 weeks scan, which is now 3 weeks away which is just as hard, although I try and carry on as normal as much as I can which takes my mind off things. Have you tried accupunture? I find it really helps my body relax. It's a stressful time but try and remember you're one stop closer, one day at a time xxx

Thanks for your comments everyone, scan went well. It's the size of a sweet pea so hard to really see anything but all as it should be and saw flickering heart, all quite surreal
