12 weeks scan

We have our 12 weeks scan on Wednesday and the starting to feel negative thoughts, we had a scan at 7 weeks 4 days and all was perfect (heartbeat), I just cannot believe that this is really going to happen (3 natural pregnancy loses), and we will get to finally tell people! I know that we are so lucky to get this far as not everyone does. Sometime you read things and the bad stories stick rather than the good ones. I Just wish I could be more positive about it, still feeling so tired so praying everything okay in there :-)

I felt so nervous every time I went for a scan. I would start dreading it and think the worst. The relief when they said there’s the heartbeat was immense. It did get easier with each scan. Only two more sleeps to get through xx

I know what you mean...

Our first scan 6+2, when we got called in, I started crying, but all was ok.

After some spotting, we had a scan at 9+6...I was proved wrong again!

12w scan, I was worried as symptoms started disappearing at 11w, but all ok.

We’ve told our closest family and friends and are now 14+5, but I am still sooo scared. Feeling relatively normal which I’ve read is the bonus of second trimester, but it doesn’t help my questioning head!

We’ve booked a 16 week private scan which still feels like an age away on 8th May...I don’t think there is much else that we can do 🙁

Hi Debrakay I really feel for you. I've had 4 rmcs and have just had my 7 week viability scan. Having had a loss after seeing a hb before Im still a bag of nerves though this time around it is donor eggs so we are a little more hopeful. I wish you ask the luck in the world and look forward to hearing your news xx

So true... i think all the trauma of actually getting a BFP you cant quite believe it so the nerves will remain there. I even thought that the other day... im so anxious all the time but that will probably never leave me!

I felt exactly the same with my ivf pregnancy. Everything was absolutely fine. It's so hard not to let horrible thoughts creep into your mind but I understand how you feel. Just remember you saw a heartbeat. It's more than likely that everything will be ok. Only a couple more days! You won't know what you were worried about!

Best of luck and keep us posted on how it all goes!

It's absolutely normal to feel that way. Like you said we tend to remember more the negative memories and experiences. Hopefully after your next scan you will feel better and just enjoy it hun.

Happy and healthy 9 monthsssss 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤❤❤❤❤

I can completely relate. It's not been an easy journey for me, and I still struggle to convince myself everything is ok at 25wks. I absolutely hand on heart was convinced that I had a mmc before my 12wk scan. I cried myself to sleep, read loads of websites etc. We had a heartbeat at 7wks but was told we'd lost the other one. The 12wk scan left me absolutely gobsmacked. Everything was fine I just couldn't feel a thing - turns out I have an anterior placenta. When we've gone through so much it's so hard to think positive about things working, as we're so used to them going wrong I guess. Wishing you all the best for your scan. huge HUGE congrats. xx

Great news that you are 25weeks ❤️. Doing amazing. Hope you are a bit more relaxed now. But until that baby is in your arms I don’t think many of us are. Make sure you are taking care and enjoying it xx

Thanks, and you're absolutely right. I've a friend who said to me recently "hope you can relax now you've seen the 25wk scan is still ok". We paid privately for the scan as I was so worried. I sent her a text back saying just that... not until baby is in my arms and hopefully all is well. It's actually hard to enjoy pregnancy, more than I thought. I was the only one tearful in the waiting room when we went for the scan, whilst others were joyful, happy, purchasing teddies, photo frames you name it. I just wanted to make sure lil one was still ok. Wishing you all the best. Hoping the scan will really blow your mind. Mine has surpassed all expectations. Hugs and be thinking of you x
