12 Week Scan tomorrow.

[Frimpzilla]

I have my 12 week scan tomorrow and I'm sick to my stomach! So nervous hoping everything's okay. I already know I won't be sleeping a wink tonight! I'd say I've had an "easy" pregnancy, only symptom I've had is aching breast and the odd nausea here and there but that just makes me even more nervous because I haven't really felt pregnant. I'm driving myself crazy I know. Just hoping it all goes well. I'm just glad it's early tomorrow morning so I can get it all over with. How did you all cope with the night before the scan?

I always looked forward to it and then just before had anxiety on the what if scenarios.

12weeks and 20week scans are great though. Get to see the bub wriggling about and waving.

I just had a 32 week scan and there was so much squished in there couldn’t make anything out!

I was crying and everything with nerves because we have lost 2 babies previously from 2 separate miscarriages.

Try not to worry hun. My friend didn't know she was pregnant until 21 weeks as she had no symptoms at all! She only found out because she went for her check up on her kidneys. Every pregnancy is different :).

All the best for tomorrow! X

I wasn't nervous at all for my 12 week scan. This is my first pregnancy and I was unsure what to expect plus my husband was unable to make the appointment. I just got on with it.

I am getting my 20 week scan next week and am pretty apprehensive about that. It's strange as I am more nervous now but that's possibly because I'm starting to feel the babies movements and everything feels more real now. At 12 weeks I couldn't believe I was pregnant as I wasn't showing although I had only a few minor symptoms - tiredness and aching breasts etc.

Good luck!

I was exactly the same! Excited but terrified! My symptoms had also reduced about the week before my scan so that was an extra worry but I'm now 37 weeks. Good luck and after the scan shows all ok (which I'm sure it will) then please try and relax and actually enjoy being pregnant! I have found it hard to not be worried that something is going to go wrong and feel like I haven't enjoyed the miracle of pregnancy as much as I should have done!

Hi ladies. Thank you all so much for your advice. Saw our little baby today and everything's okay. So weird to see this tiny baby moving around so much inside me. It's was amazing..

thanks again.

Glad everything is good with baby hun! I kept laughing with happiness so much on our private scan at our baby kicking and moving that she recorded it for me so i could watch it after because they couldnt get a good picture haha! All the best for you and your baby! X

I was very anxious for both of mine, 12 week and 20. I thought second time around I would be more relaxed but I wasn't at all! Both were perfectly fine! It's difficult to relax but try to take your mind off it by doing other things!
