Hi ladies

So I have my approximately 7 week scan today and I really don’t want to go Iv been having really bad cramps and morning sickness.

I feel awful and just don’t know what to feel.

My cramps are really bad on a morning and I’m feeling very negative

Please help

We were scared too - I felt numb before the scan.

Then just cried like a baby when I had it - wish I could have enjoyed it more!

Think how much of a relief it will be afterwards if you get the all clear :)

It’s only natural to be scared. On my first scan on my second bfp I sat in the waiting room visibly shaking. I hope all will be ok for you and you come away happy and relieved 😌 xx

Wishing you all the best and all the courage. You have to now focus on the positives and try to enjoy the present. Extra anxiety will only wear you down. Sending positive vibes xx

Thank you all I’m sat here crying feeling so unsure I thought this journey would get easier

Oh no! Sending you a big massive hug. This is so normal what you are feeling - honestly every day almost someone posts a message saying they are dreading these scans.

Waiting for the scans is like or worse than 2WW.

Hey it went well I’m 6 weeks 5 days and there was a heart beat

I need to go back in the 2 weeks as my ovary is swollen

And that will explain the pain you’ve experienced (although some cramping is normal). I bet you’re over the moon! xx

I had a scan sat and I was a wreck before I went in. Nearly had a panic attack. By all was well and heartbeat seen. Going back at 8 weeks for reassurance. Glad your scan went well xxx
