Terrified of missed miscarriage at scan

Not sure what I'm looking for really, I'm just so anxious. After two miscarriages last year I'm now further along than ever before (12+4) and have seen the heartbeat twice, the last time being 3 weeks ago. As my sickness eases off and my 12 week scan fast approaches (next Thursday) I can't stop thinking/fretting and even dreaming about missed miscarriage. Maybe solidarity/positive stories might help? 🙏🏻

I was in your exact place last year! I had 2 miscarriages that both ended before 5 weeks. The third finally stuck, but the anxiety that came with it was a truck load. I was constantly thinking I was going to see something anytime I used the rest room. Constantly thinking there wasn't going to be a Heartbeat at my next appt. I think the anxiety and thoughts finally eased up after my second ultrasound, And even more once I started feeling movement in there. Throughout all of it, I always told myself that everything that happens, it's meant to happen. I know not everybody believes that, but you gotta be able to hold onto something. Positive thoughts! Easier said than done. But as I hold my almost 4 week old daughter after a 6:30am feeding right now, I'm sending all the positivity your way😊😊 hope all is well and baby is healthy!

Aw, thank you @Aisha. I do believe that as it happens, I just don't always enjoy the process or outcome 😅 Thanks so much for your kind words and solidarity, they've helped remind me of the hope that I do have alongside the fear. Enjoy that undoubtedly gorgeous little girl of yours ❤️❤️❤️

Hi lovely just to say I had 2 pregnancy losses 2nd was a missed miscarriage and 1st was a n incompatible with life syndrome. Anyway I now have a nearly 2 year old and expecting my 2nd baby on Monday. So I went from 2 losses to 2 healthy pregnancy. Anyway totally understand the anxiety I hate scans still!. There is a good hook called pregnancy after loss by Zoe Clark Coates I found it quite helpful

Thank you both. I had my scan on Thursday and all looks well. Bubba is growing away and measuring exactly as expected ❤️
