I have a dating scan today , and im nervous .
I have no abnormal cramping, spotting or anything but I just get this irrational fear everytime I have a scan , that something will be wrong . Even tho i've had 2 perfectly normal healthy pregnancies, I think I have this thought of "I get pregnant easily , I carry to term without complications, I have 2 beautiful kids ...my luck has to run out sometime " Im being ridiculous aren't I ? Does anyone else get really nervous before scans ? -------------

I got very nervous before my 12 week scan. Other than tiredness all other symptoms had disappeared at 10 weeks.
The night before I kept having these irrational dreams that I was going to have twins..... |

Not ridiculous, not at all. I think exactly the same way.
It's a completely normal reaction. Even though the baby was before the 12 and 19 week scans, I was still paranoid that there was going to be something wrong. ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

Totally normal I was so nervous about a missed miscarriage at my 12 week scan because at 11weeks mw couldn't pick up the heart beat (she told me not to worry - it's normal to not hear it until the next appt) andboy was I freaking out! Esp with MS disappearing from 11-13 weeks!
Then I had a gallstone attack and was worried bout the baby so had a scan at 19 and 20 weeks and freaked out before both! I didn't freak out about my 34 week scan because I could feel her but still worried I would get bad news of some sort! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I'm 24 weeks and we've had 8 scans so far due to complications. Every time I am panicking over it - and each time he's fine and playing the fool for the sonographer 
I think it's normal to fear the unknown, even though I can feel him I still worry there are things wrong with him. So you aren't alone! |

Apparently the more children you have the more nervous you get as you start to think your luck is going to run out.
This is according to a couple of friends that are having or had #4. They said they were most anxious during pregnancy with their last. I was def more nervous with #2 than #1. -------------

Totally normal fears Kelly. I freaked out for both my scans - especially when I had to go for a walk and come back because she was in awkward positions - both times!!! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   </a

Yep always a bit nervous 'just in case...' Am nervous about the 20 week scan cos I can't yet feel bubs properly and my ms has largely gone (thank god) so am in that limbo period where I don't feel overly pg! How did it go anyway? Are you back yet? -------------   http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

I was the most freaked out before my first scan because I had no symptoms aside from no AF. No MS oh apart from sore ( . ) ( . ) but that could be attributed to anything.
So yes normal ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

ha , once shes born you'll worry even MORE Nic
Thanks guys ! glad im not the only one who feels this way well , scan went fine, took a while to find baby cos my uterus is far down or something, can't remember what the guy said , but he found it , and there was a heartbeat and all , so yay , relief ! I was never nervous with C , not at all , and my first scan with her wasn't til 18 weeks, and she didn't start moving til 20 weeks, that was in the naive, ignorant days when I didn't know all the bad stuff that could happen HAHA Tishy !!!! -------------

Hows this for a spin on your feelings Kelly. My SIL had her scan last friday, she's kept me up to date with everything so far. I was SO nervous that everything was going ok. I just didn't want to wish any heart ache on them.
Thank god everything is a-ok & my niece or nephew was 13weeks last friday  ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

Good to hear that it went well Kelly.
The word for me in reference to scans is pretty much terror and i tend to go over all the worst cases in my head even though I am trying really hard not to stress, even after having 2 straightforward healthy pregnancies. i will never forget hearing that my pregnancy was twins and they were conjoined - that was back in the days when I was naive! 19 week scan - not fun at all, in saying that i have one on Wednesday and i am really scared but also very excited - babies are exciting! ------------- 
Our con-joined boys 20 wk |

I feel exactly the same. Ive had lots of scans as I had my appendix out at week 9 so there was a lot of checking after that and I also had an early dating scan.
My pregnancy has gone textbook so far but I haven't had many symptoms, I only had sickness for 3 weeks and apart from tiredness and sore boobs and expanding belly I haven't felt that pregnant. I was so nervous before my 12 week scan that it just wouldnt be there anymore lol Im in this limbo stage now where I haven't felt the baby yet and don't feel many symptoms and Im so worried when I go to my 20 week scan there'll be something wrong. I have no reason to worry but I am so worried anyway it's really upsetting actually. Glad to hear others feel like this too ------------- Me 28, DH 29 DS born 20 Nov 2010 (4 years old) #2 due October 7 http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Just thinking of going for a dating scan gets me nervous and I'm not even pregnant yet...
Last time I went for a scan they told me there was no heartbeat so I can only imagine how stressfull my next time will be and still, I hope it will happen VERY soon  ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

| I am going to have it tomorrow. I have not had a slightest idea a year ago that I would be doing it so soon. I met my partner on a dating site two years ago, https://girlsdating.asia/vietnamese-women-and-american-men-can-they-be-happy-together/" rel="nofollow - Check This Out . Luckily, we both were from the same city, so our relations quickly moved to offline format. I could never imagine that online acquaintance can bring to a happy family so quickly. But it does, so do not hesitate to try it. |
