1st scan nerves

[JLLWM]

Me again! I’m having a private early scan tomorrow and I’m so nervous! My family aren’t very support, to the point where my mum has said ‘I don’t even think your pregnant, nothings going to show on that scan’. This honestly has sucked all the excitement out of it all, also because I’ve spent the last year having scans on my ovaries so I’m used to seeing an empty womb. I just wanted to know if anyone else was nervous/how family have been etc!

Goodluck for your scan! It’s totally normal to be nervous lovely, you get excited! You should be, it’s an exciting time and full of lots of mixed emotions so just focus on you and baby and that scan tomorrow! How far along are you?! I had an early scan at 5 weeks as I had a giant cyst on one of my ovaries so had to be monitored and they saw the sac then, then a week later saw baby that was a blob with a heartbeat so they can see things quite early but not always accurate due to how tiny everything is at that point! Xx

i should be 8 weeks tomorrow! im getting an early scan for kinda the same reason, last year i had endometriosis burnt off/a giant cyst and half my ovary taken! it was a bit of a botched job so i was on a waiting list to have the same op/take the second cyst out, but here i am!

im so so nervous, i hope every thing is good with you! xx

Aw bless you, sounds like you’ve had a rough time! How’s your sickness?! Saw your previous post, I had awful sickness, got cyclizine at 7/8 weeks but the gp told me not to rely on it then I ended up hospitalised at 9weeks for dehydration 😩, so true and get yourself some from gp if you are suffering really badly! If you should be 8 weeks they should be able to see something lovely, I have everything crossed for you🤞🏼! Try to get some rest xxx

[JLLWM in reply to Materialbarbie]

honestly the craziest year of my life!

ahh thanks for asking! sickness is still pretty bad, they gave me cyclizine as well but it’s not helped. so i’m at a point of trying to stomach plain food little and often. i am just drained tbh, but i’m hoping seeing a bubba tomorrow will give me that little bit of fight, if that makes sense!

thanks so much for the kind words and advice 🥺🤞🏻 xxx

Totally crazy but it’s a blessing! I have everything crossed for you, please keep us updated💕🤞🏼! With the sickness have you tried a travel sick band that presses the pressure points on your wrist?! They can work! If you really are struggling try and get some other anti sickness meds from the dr, you need to be as hydrated and healthy for your little babe! Hope it eases soon, mine lasted until I gave birth but cyclizine worked for me! There’s a few other you can try if you need to lovely xxx

How cruel of your mum very unsupportive. Good luck for your scan wishing the the very best. X

my sister told me i was better off getting rid of baby, so honestly my side of the family couldnt give AF. my boyfriends side are so lovely, not sure what i did right to deserve them!

thanks so much, woke up today and am bricking it! xx

[Hidden in reply to JLLWM]

But why?

[JLLWM in reply to Hidden]

are they being like that? they really dont like my current boyfriend. i left a 6 year long horrible relationship to be with my current boyfriend and they wont give up hope!

My mum is very blunt like that too, she tries to “be realistic” and “prepare you for things,” essentially I’ve realised it’s her weird way of showing she cares. I hope that the scan goes well. Please update us xxx

[JLLWM in reply to wherearemysox]

yea, i think she'll change once she see's the scan! thanks, i will xx

[Errxo]

Sorry to hear this lovely - please get excited & I hope the scan goes well for you. It’s a magical/nerve racking time.

I suffered a miscarriage late last year, and have recently found out I’m expecting again so I will be going for a private scan also, cannot wait until 12 weeks will be a bag of nerves. Let us know how you get on xx

[JLLWM in reply to Errxo]

ahh im so happy for you! i hope everything is okay for you too and i will defo let you guys know! xx

My 8 weeks scan showed two blobs and a heart beat and a sac thing. Yours should be similar 😀

[JLLWM in reply to ancde]

eek! honestly tho, i've been dreaming about twins and i would faint aha!

Totally normal to feel nervous! And I’m so sorry your family aren’t supportive. Good luck xx

[JLLWM in reply to Bailey135]

thanks xx

Good luck lovely! I hope it’s all you want it to be. Share your excitement with those who deserve it. And for those who aren’t on board? Why should they get to experience the joy too? Sod em.

Totally normal to be nervous, especially with what you’ve already been through to get here. I had to have an early scan at 6 weeks and there was a tiny sesame seed sized dot inside my womb, which had the flickery heart beat. Another scan at 9 weeks showed the outline of a baby! It’s crazy how fast they grow and explains why we feel so knackered 😂 My boy is now 9 months and just as wriggly 🥰 x

Good luck with your scan. Hope all is well x

I was but my kids r my world now xx

[JLLWM]

Hey all!

i made it through the scan, didn’t cry (nearly threw up but nothing new for me at the mo)

turns out i was 7 weeks 3 days, but everything is all good at the mo with a strong heartbeat. i cannot thank you all enough for all the kind words.

ps - my mums being worse than ever so ive decided that until im 100% good/growing well, that im not going to include her. she didnt even care when i showed her the scan...

[Materialbarbie in reply to JLLWM]

Glad everything is looking good, I have everything crossed for you lovely! For now don’t stress about your mum, just focus on you and baby! That’s the main thing. It’s hard because I know you’ll want your mum involved and it’s not fair she’s being like this at all but keep focusing on that little babe you’re growing 💕xxx
