Scan tomorrow... Still hate them!!!

[So_hopeful81]

I know this is absolutely stupid - especially as I am certain that I've felt little bubba turner wiggling around, and that I have the worst heartburn ever... But I still fear the worst when I go to scans that they will tell me that there is no heartbeat!

On top of that - even once we've had the heartbeat, because of our little issue of down syndrome, every time without fail the consultant gives me bad information about what could happen with my little lady in the future!!! I am petrified they will do that again. I just want some positivity for once from medical people... And I remember how wonderful my 20 week scan for my 4 year old was. I wish I could have that experience again- but I fear that I will never experience that cloud nine moment again! It makes me so sad!!!

I always feel a bit like that - i hate scans - well - i hate going for one - once i can see bubs its ok. But im absolutely terrified that they'll find something wrong. I have totally refused to go to them on my own.

could you maybe try a private scan - i had one on thursday, and it was soooo much more relaxed than the nhs ones, like we were just there to see bubs, no looking out for anything, and cos it was 3d it looked totally different. might give u a nicer experience than the nhs.

oh hunny it's understandable to be worried with a consultant full of doom and gloom. They think they are doing us a favour preparing us for the worst huh.

But the worst aint gonna happen and Baby Turner is happy and healthy just like her mumma xxxxxxxxx

Oh honey I can't even begin to imagine how you feel. Try to think of it that you are going to see Baby Turner (which by the way is wierd cos thats what we called my cousins cos thats their surname). I bet you still get that same 20 week scan feeling regardless of anything else. Good luck shall look forward to pics. xxx

Good luck for tomorrow hun, just try and stay positive about things. Im same always thinking they will find something wrong. Will be thinking of you tomorrow as i have mine aswell. Look forward to seeing pics xx

Awwwww good luck! As everyone else has said, it's perfectly understandable to be wary of scans. I have hated having them this time round as well - although the couple of private ones I did find so much better and more relaxing than the nhs ones. I really hope you get some positivity tomorrow xxxxx

On way now!
Jeremy and I are both sitting here dreading today. At least I have him for support while I'm in the hospital.

Will hopefully be back with good news later!
Hope all of you other scanned ladies today aren't feeling what I am!
Xxx

Hope everything's OK. I'm sure it will be

 

[So_hopeful81]

Oh my word!
I have at last walked out of my scan with a great big beaming smile!
My little girl (who appears to be seriously shy!!!) is perfect. All of the checks that have been carried out on her came out as normal.

I have to have a glucose test at the beginning of Jan as my Dad is diabetic. Then I have to have an ante-natal appointment with my consultant regarding bloods and birthing options at 30 weeks and then another scan at 32 weeks to check on her progress. From now on though, everything feels so much more positive!

My consultant was really lovely today too. She commented on how Jeremy and I appear to be dealing with everything brilliantly, and had a few jokes with us too. I felt so much better!!!

I promise to put the pic up later... I got 2 actually - one 2d and one 3d but the 3d is quite difficult to make out because our shy little girl kept hiding her face!

Thank you everyone - hope you've all had a great day xxx

 

[Verity2011]
