I definitely was, but I’m a very anxious person period

Totally normal I was freaking out! I just want everything to go good, tell them ur nervous and they will make u feel better

I walked nervous as I’ll get out I didn’t sleep that night! But I walked in laid down and the ultrasound tech made me feel so much better she walked me through everything we were looking at and said he is perfect measuring at about 1 pound and some ounces. That’s all I needed to hear, I have an anterior placenta so I don’t feel much movement that’s what made me so nervous. I have to go back to finish the anatomy scan cause my little guy was not cooperating

Very nervous. Mine is next Friday and I am I can't stop worrying. To be fair, I am always anxious before every prenatal appointment.🤷‍♀️

YES. Mine is on Wednesday. I have anterior placenta so I don’t feel him move all the time.
& We lost our daughter at 19.5 weeks due to incompetent cervix (she was perfectly healthy) so even though this time I have a cerclage and it’s different. I still have extra anxiety. We did get a quick peak of him at 17 weeks and he looked great so my anatomy he will be 19.5 weeks.

Ugh now I have to reschedule because there's a power outage 😕 way to prolong the nerves universe

As you can see you’re not alone!! Now that it’s coming up (next week for me) I’m starting to get really nervous too even though there’s nothing to indicate that anything will go wrong 🥲

Just had mine yesterday, I was so nervous 🥹 but it was absolutely amazing to see my baby again 🥹

What to buy for a two year olds birthday?

My niece is turning 2 and I’ve not got a clue what to buy her. I’m pregnant with my first so I’ve no experience in what’s they’d like.

First scan

So I went for my first viability scan thinking I was about 6 weeks and 2 days. She said it’s measuring 1.3mm and we saw a heartbeat!! But she thinks I’m under 6 weeks pregnant because of how small it is. I don’t really get it though because I know when I ovulated🤣 any thoughts? So much anxiety has been lifted since I’ve seen this wow. Think I’ll go back at 9 weeks!

Reduced movement

I’ve had reduced movement since yesterday, I went to the hospital on Thursday and they did the ctg and everything was normal, I went to my routine check up today and the midwife sent me back to the hospital as I still had reduced movement.
The put the ctg back on and everything showing fine and they have referred me for a scan but they aren’t sure when that will be. but silly me didn’t ask why I wasn’t feeling the movement. I was told at my 20 week scan that i have an anterior placement so I’m assuming it because of that and she’s just lied in a funny way . I’m 28 weeks today.
Can people share there experiences or thought please 🙏🏼

First scan - sack visible but no baby

Hi all. I went for a scan when I was 6 weeks and 2 days. They initially couldn't see anything and then they could only see a sack but not a baby. They have booked me in for anothet scan in 2 weeks. Anyone else have a similar experience? I am spiralling a little.
