How do you calm nerves for an upcoming scan

I have an upcoming scan on Wednesday I’m so nervous. Last scan we saw gestational sac and yolk at what they said was 5 1/2 weeks . When we go back according to gestational date we should be 8 weeks 1 day.

My husband is so calm and excited but I’m nervous and can hardly sleep. I just want to see that little heartbeat. And finally start telling immediate family. Feels like I’ve been living in hiding for ages.

I’ve been so Ill the last week with nausea and finally was sick for the first time. Exhaustion and bad breast pain. And of course food aversion I’m hoping these are all good signs little one is growing.

You can’t!
I had the same thing you at in my last pregnancy and literally had a nervous breakdown at my scan because of what I was told in my private one (never having it again)!

On my second one now and tomorrow I’ve got a scan to see if my baby is ok as I had severe pains on Wednesday and this was the earliest they could fit me in!

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Rolling milestone at 5 months - What’s typical ?

Good morning ladies,

My daughter will be 5 months old tomorrow, but there’s still no sign of her rolling. She does tummy time and loves lying on her mat, playing with hanging toys above her and to the sides, but she only lifts her legs and doesn’t seem interested in rolling or moving sideways yet.

Anyone else the same or have your babies already learnt how to roll yet ?

Thank you
