8 week scan on Tuesday

[nori]

Hi All,

Well i gave in and decided to book a private scan for Tuesday!!

I suffer from Crohns disease (inflammatory bowel disease) and had my hospital appointment with the gastro team last friday. They are putting me in touch with a Paediatric consultant so they can all monitor me throughout my pregnancy.

Im sure i would have been able to have a slightly earlier scan but couldnt wait any longer. I just want the reasurrance that everything is where it should be as i do get a lot of cramps (which is a symptom of crohns anyway).

So... im excited and terrified all in one!! Last year was such a nightmare for me health wise so sometimes its hard to stay positive.

Wish me luck!!

Hun Please dont worry, the two illnesses are very different. IBS is a healthy bowel whereas crohns is an auto immune disease which actually attacks the bowel which could result in a lot of surgery. I do sympathise with the condition though cos anything bowel orientated is horrible.

I know how you feel about being terrified.. im getting worse by the minute. Good luck with your scan and thanks everyone for the well wishes!
