12 week scan nerves

[stacey2404]

Hi everyone. I have had a bad feeling ever since falling pregnant. This is our second baby but I can't help thinking something "isn't right" I can't really explain it. Anyway I have my 12 week scan 2 weeks tomorrow and no can't stop thinking that they are going to give us bad news. Is this normal? Have others felt similar? I can't remember feeling this scared the first time around. Im always worried my gut feeling is right and something must be wrong

Totally normal.
I had a scan at 8 weeks and was convinced all was wrong had my 12 week last week and even then I was so nervous. I think we can a be a little naive with our first baby.

Gosh yeah despite me having so much nausea and tiredness I'm convinced it's my body playing a nasty trick on me I've already had some early scans that showed baby was fine and how every thing should be I'm 9+2 today and feels like forever till 12 week scan your certainly not alone on it xx

Insane anxiety over here. Had scans at 6 & 8 weeks and was still convinced I was going to get bad news at 12 weeks but all is well! I’m also now starting to think I’m going to get bad news at my 16 week gender scan but I’m sure all is fine

Hi Stacey, I will be having my 12w scan about the same time as you are. I know how you feel. I feel so nervous. I had a scan at 6.5weeks, all was good, but I have been going through a really tough times since then feeling absolutely awful, even had to stay at the hospital for several days. I am wondering all the time whether everything is ok and whether I will get good news at my scan... I do try to "catch" my bad thoughts and change them to good. I try to think about something good, positive, exciting. Trying to engage my mind in something else and when I do, time flies by...How are you feeling otherwise? Any pregnancy symptoms bothering you?

Thank you im glad I'm not the only one feeling like this. I'm sorry you've been unwell, hopefully it will pass. And no I've been ok and I Think that is what's worrying me most because I was so sick with my first. Xx

Thanks Stacey, a couple of weeks to go before our scans and I am hoping we both get good news! As for feeling good - I am not sure whether it's a sign of anything really! They say no two pregnancies are the same. I've got a friend who spent two months at the hospital with her first pregnancy and then went on to have a perfect pregnancy with no sickness and no symptoms with her second. It's hard not to worry, but let's have hope that all is good!xx
