Is it normal to feel super anxious about the 20 week scan?

I was soooo nervous I couldn’t sleep the night before or anything but it was all fine 😊 it’s common to not feel regular movements until you’re around 24 weeks

That was me the 2 weeks upcoming the scan! So so anxious!
But everything was fine and im sure yours will also be fine. It’s very common and normal to feel a bit anxious before scans. Best of luck

Thank you both! Nice to know I'm not just overreacting 😂

Omg I was SO nervous! I had convinced myself something was definitely wrong. I tried to look up issue rates and couldn’t find much of anything on major health sites. BUT two things I learned on Reddit helped calm me down: One user was so worked up that she looked up the incidence rate of all of the complications that could come up on the scan and all together she found that the likelihood of the 20w scan revealing something actually bad was less than 1%. A doula also mentioned that the likelihood of something being flagged on the scan is 5% but most flags end up not being anything when they are investigated farther. I hope that helps the nerves!

My 20 week scan is on Friday too and I am so incredibly nervous!! Just want baby to be happy and healthy 🥲

we're in the same boat then! I think it's so easy to overthink everything, and my mind is just constantly baby at the moment so there's no getting away from it😂

Yes! I was nervous too, think it’s very normal

Hey, I had my 20 week scan this morning. Was super nervous last night and everything but well.. try your best to keep calm. It's normal to worry ☺️ xx

I’ve been feeling regular kicks for about a week now but my god I was so anxious the day of my scan (it was Monday). This is my 2nd baby too so it’s totally normal! Hope it goes well for you x

We have our 20 week scan tomorrow also, super nervous & want all to be well. Expecting twins and feel like ‘pops’ & pressure changes which I think are them…

I was the complete same before my 20 week scan, my flutters were really hit and miss, and I didn't feel any the 2 days before.
Even on the day he was being a pickle, and wouldn't play ball, so was in the 3 hours and in the end! Lol. But he did some giant kicks while we were there
But all was OK, and now he uses my stomach like a punching bag 🤣 xx
