This is my first baby and having my first scan on friday morning.
The only thing is I'm feeling so frightened about it. Don't get me wrong I am thrilled about being pregnant, I'm just really worried that they are not going to find anything or there is something wrong.
I have had morning sickness, sore breasts etc which people say are signs of a healthy pregnancy but i just cant stop worrying.
Does anyone else feel the same?
 
Awww babe :hug:

I'm pretty sure every pregnant woman feels the same about their first scan....I know I did! It is such a nervewracking time its only natural to worry :hug:

I'm sure everything will be fine, I remember at my dating scan lying on the bed and waiting for her to say 'I'm sorry there's been a mistake'......but sure enough there was a little baby on the screen - surreal!

Lots of luck for Friday & welcome to the forum :hug:
 
Oh babes it's fine honestly. I was exactly the same with my first scan 6w5d and was terrified they wouldn't see the heartbeat or something. I actually had a few really moody days before the 12 week scan also incase something was wrong, I didn't realise I was worried about them it was only after when DH said "are you going to be happier now" that I sort of asked "huh, what do you mean" to be told the past few days I was getting really snappy and upset easily etc. I honestly hadn't noticed. I'm thrilled to be pregnant and love my little 'pudding' so much already it's crazy but I do (still) get really wound up and nervous before the appointments despite knowing that now I really should be more ok than ever. It's hard I know I just want little pudding to be here already so I can start caring for him/her properly without wondering if she or he is ok. It's perfectly normal, your bean will be just fine. Enjoy the scan it's an amazing experience. xx
 
Before I had my scan I was terrified that something was wrong I even thought that when I had the scan all they would find is an empty womb and no baby! I convinced myself that it was my body all messed up giving off the pregnancy hormones for no reason, I even thought that maybe it could be a phantom pregnancy but when I saw the baby on the screen and saw the little heart beat I just wanted to cry with relief. From what I have read it's perfectly normal to have these worries and most of us do. Like someone on this forum said to me it's just the sign of a good parent.
 
Like all the others have said, its perfectly natural to be a bit scared. I was scared that there was nothing there which is why I had a scan at 7 weeks but all was well.
You will be fine, just enjoy it, its amazing seeing your wee baby :hug: :hug:
 
Thanks for your posts,they made me feel a bit better. Baby Roo is the nickname my husband and i have for our little bean. I'm 11 weeks tomorrow just can't believe how quickly time has flown by.

I think i will be nervous before my 1st scan too. I am sure it is normal

Lots of luck for your scan! It will be lovely to finally see your baby

Yes this is very normal. I was very nervous before all 3 of my scans!
 
Hey, I have my first scan on wednesday, and i am terrified! I have to go on my own too, and I'm so scared it will be bad news. So you're not on your own! xxxx
