Scared for scan

I had a late missed miscarriage last year my 12 week scan was fine but the a scan at 16 weeks showed their heart stopped at 12 weeks, I'm now pregnant again and have my 12 week scan in the morning and I'm so terrified that I'm going to be told I've had another missed miscarriage I feel like I'm so stressed I can't breathe and knowing all I can do is wait and see feels so painful

I’m so sorry for your loss😣
I know exactly how you feel, after 5 missed miscarriages I’m anxious 24/7.. My early scans & 12 week scan were all positive but I still can’t shake the feeling that something will go wrong again

@Anonymous it definitely sucks for us to be in this boat 🥺 my scan went well baby is fine 💖

I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. It's great that your scan went well, but this kind of anxiety isn't good for you, and to keep wondering until the next scan.
Please buy yourself a small doppler, you can get for about 35 bucks online. I listened to the heartbeat every couple of days which helped me a lot n kept me from worrying so much after 1st mc.
Also note that initially it'll be hard to find a heartbeat , so don't worry, just be patient n try searching very close to your pubic area. I hope this goes well. Good luck, n you're not alone.

I’m so so glad your scan went well! That’s amazing🥹 Did they give you a photo? Hold onto this positive news, when you’re feeling anxious bring yourself back to the happy memory of your scan (look at the photo if they gave you one) and remember that your baby is healthy & happy!🩷

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 😂🥲

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

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

Constant braxton hicks!

I’m 29 weeks tomorrow and they are constant especially when I’m walking about!

This didn’t start happening until I was like 36 weeks with my son 😩

Anyone else the same?
