12 weeks scan on Friday ...

My 12 week is next Wednesday and this is all I’m worried about💔 it took 6 months after my previous loss for me to get this far

I’m exactly the same. I had a loss just before Christmas and now I’m petrified. It was much earlier than this though, about 6 weeks. I have my 12 week scan today and I’m so scared. I think it’s natural since we’ve had a loss to be nervous. Im so sorry you’re going through this too 💖

I felt the same even though i had private scans at 7 & 10wks. I still had feeling (and still do) that something is going to go wrong EVEN though i have had my 12wk scan. Its normal and everything crossed for a lovely scan experience

It is a worrying time, just try to keep positive and if you’ve not had any reasons to doubt the likelihood is everything will be ok. I had bleeding for 5 days at 11 weeks and the waiting room silence made me so sick and anxious I was sure of the worst news and baby was happy and healthy.
Pregnancy after loss is a rollercoaster and I hope everything is ok tomorrow.

Yep 😞 I caved and booked a private one for tonight. I’ve not had one yet. I’m 9+3 and feel sick

I hope your scan went well!! Xx

@Rachel thanks. We had a 6 week scan with our previous baby and saw a heart beat but then still lost them at 8 weeks.
So my 6 weeks scan I've had this time , has provided little reassurance 🙃

@Jade good luck with your scan tonight x

Good luck to you… 🥰

I have my dating scan tomorrow morning. I’ve already had two scans at 6 and 8 weeks which were fine so you’d think I’d be calmer but I’m terrified! Panicking firstly if it’s still alive, and if it is if it has downs/edwards especially as I’m 35. The worst part though is knowing I’ll have to wait days to a couple of weeks for the blood test results afterwards. Pregnancy is just one big worry 😩

I completely understand - I have the same worries about heartbeat after having an MMC previously and finding out at my 12 week scan. I dread these appointments now for that reason 🥺
I’ve had a healthy pregnancy and live birth since my MMC but the fear never goes away x

Ps mine is also tomorrow (Friday) x

@Chloe good luck with your scan 🥰

good luck with your scan lovely xx

how was your first scan? I had a loss in October and was earlier than this x

thanks! Had the scan this morning and bubba doing all good. All its limbs, brain and everything where they’re meant to be. Neck fluid normal. Heartbeat nice and strong and kicking away like crazy! Hope yours goes ok tomorrow! x

you too 🤞🏻xx

@Chloe thank you!!! So glad everything went well for you x

thanks so much for asking, it went well and was all was fine! Still didn’t fully reassure me but I mentioned my anxiety after MC to the midwife and she said most people experience it and it tends to ease once you can feel baby move. So fingers crossed that happens sooner rather than later for us all 💖

aw that's great. I'm glad it was all OK x
