Feeling silly...pic attached

[KCLou]

I feel so lucky yet so anxious at the same time. After a miscarriage almost 2 years ago- I feel like all I do is worry now I’m pregnant again. We had our 12 week scan three weeks ago and the baby wouldn’t co-operate for the nuchal down’s test and she couldn’t do it... the Sonographer didn’t say anything looked worrying and the heartbeat was healthy but I’m just overthinking everything. I can’t see the baby’s neck on any of the scans I’ve had so far- is this normal? I will feel so much better once my baby is in my arms!

Hey KCLou. I couldn’t read and run. I am only just starting my IVF journey but know that i will be a big ball of worry if we ever get a BFP. I think these are all normal worries. Have you mentioned your concerns to your midwife? Maybe they could do another scan. Try to relax and enjoy (easier said than done i know). Sending hugs xxx

It should be due to the position and equipment sensitivity. Your baby has a neck for sure. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!

It's not silly at all. I was exactly the same including mc. Every scan I went to I feared the worst. I didn't get a bump till 26 weeks. In fact by the time I went to see a midwife at 12+ weeks she asked me to do a questionnaire to see if I was mentally unstable as I was in tears. I was hoping I'd see her much sooner in the pregnancy to check all ok. I cried every time I had a scan and feared the worst throughout the whole pregnancy even until the night before my c-section. My little one wasn't co-operating during 12wk scan either. In fact they couldn't do all other tests as I hadn't seen the midwife first to discuss implications if tests were bad I was besides myself. All I think you can do is look after yourself. Don't work too hard, eat properly, listen to your body, rest when you need to and maybe take vitamins. That way you're doing everything you can. We even had to pay for extra private scan at window to the womb as I was so anxious something was wrong. I had an anterior placenta at the front so never felt a thing until really late in the pregnancy. I was expecting to enjoy it but i was anxious throughout the whole thing. I think it's perfectly normal and I won't tell you not to worry as you will. Now I have a lvely 4+ month old son currently on my lap wiggling away and he doesn't like sleeping or napping lol. I'm shattered. Get all the sleep and prep you can before they come along. Wishing you all the best. Fingers crossed for you x
