A successful scan!!

I had an 8 week scan this morning and had convinced myself it would be bad news after an mmc back in April. But my little wigglebum was there, strong heartbeat and growing nicely ❤️ such a relief after weeks of anxiety! I know it's still early days but it was measuring perfectly and just looked so strong!! I was expecting a little kidney bean squiggle lol but we could make out the head and body, a lovely surprise 😊

I had a mmc back in march and am now 5 weeks pregnant, I cant stop feeling so anxious about the same thing happening again. I'm happy all was fine with you, I hope it is with me too.

I feel for you, such an emotional few weeks of ups and downs! The only thing that really calmed me was talking a nice walk outdoors in nature, it just kind of made me feel like what will be will be and to enjoy what's around me. But it's very hard. Good luck for the next few weeks xx

Thank you, I will have to try this. I've just found out my auntie is also pregnant (12 weeks) so I'm trying not to stress because it would be nice to experience this together. Just creates that little more anxious ness. Thank you!!

Congrats, that's good news!!! I had a mmc back in march and now I am 17 weeks. I had a rough first trimester, I think that my sickness was mostly due to anxiety rather than pregnancy. I was worried all the time, it was hard. But seeing the heartbeat and that he/she is growing nicely it's such a relieve. I wish you good luck and hope everything will be ok.

Thank you! I thought a lot of my sickness was due to stress but apparently not as I was in bed all afternoon after getting the good news 😂
