I am 19 weeks and few days, due for 20 week scan next week. It is my first pregnancy. But everytime I have an appointment for either scan or midwife I get really anxious.
I just feel so alone, is it normal to worry or am I being silly 🙃

It’s totally normal! I haven’t seen an OBGYN yet (my first appointment for everything including the midwife is March 8th!) and I’m so nervous. I think it’s just one of those things where we worry about our babies and if they’re okay and healthy 💕 I’m here for you! This is my first pregnancy as well so I totally understand. I’ve only had one ultrasound so far (my 12 week one) and I was so worried they would tell me my baby wasn’t breathing.
I’m almost 18 weeks within 2 days! So I’m not far behind you. ☺️
Yeah I think I worry they’re going to tell me something is wrong! Although my last scan and appointment was fine. 💕 thank you! ☺️

That’s exactly how I feel everytime as if something would be wrong especially when my scan date get closer.

So normal! I am not an anxious person but the run up to scans gets me so stressed and I think the worst.
I think it’s just the start of a lifetime of worrying for when they arrive 😅

I feel the exact same! I have my 20 weeks scan on 11th March and I’m nervous/ excited!🤍

you likely won't see an OB at all if everything is normal

Tbh the worry doesn't stop even if you have more kids so I think it's pretty normal to worry and be anxious I am a naturally anxious person tbf so I worry a lot but I've never had less worry with scans and I'm pregnant with my fourth 🤣

Totally normal- I cried before my 20 week scan as it’s been a bumpy road to get here and previous appts have all had a bit of bad news, but all was ok, so the way you feel is normal xx
