I have been nervous before all my scans, I just want everything to be fine, so far so good, 26 weeks on Tuesday

I was terrified before the 12 week scan. What if it was a coke can in there or a turnip or if nothing was in there but a lot of wind? I was so very very nervous and was a blubbering mess before I went. When I saw the screen I was so overwhelmed I don't think I heard a word the sonographer said and I felt quite disassociated with the image and couldn't take it all in or make out what on earth those blobs on the screen were. I was so glad my fiance was there who could told me later what I was too spaced out to hear. It was a wonderful experience nevertheless, couldn't wait to go to the loo after, all those fluids being held in was quite the task and once home I felt really happy, still couldn't quite believe that was actually pregnant, still am pregnant but now with just under 5 weeks left. Definitely not a coke can in there but a little Squiggly.

Good luck and let us know how you get on! You might want some tissues for any tears of happiness or something to massage the inevitable cheesy grin muscles after face ache from smiling so much! xx

I was so nervous for both my scans. I was so nervous for my first scan that I nearly made myself sick! So it's completely normal! It's just not knowing what to expect and wanting everything to be OK. Everything was fine in my scans, such an amazing experience. Now my little'un is almost 3 weeks old already!

Don't worry - my friend Kate (delivered today 5 weeks early!) said she couldn't sleep. I was ok, but completely overwhelmed and teary after. Scan was only on friday - just shows you that they're actually in there and that everything is ok. Mine showed the brain and heart and feet and then little bug leapt in the air when she prodded me! Huge relief and then the JOY of telling people. Enjoy it. It's one of the most amazing experiences you will ever have.

Thanks all - I had my scan this morning and everything was perfect! The little one was a real wriggle bum and barely sat still!!! May date has been moved forward by 4 days too!!! Thanks so much for your support! It really helped!
