So worried about 12 wk scan!!!! :(

**[M]umma[M]ia** · March 16th, 2008, 04:26 PM

I am so worried about my 12 week scan in april. Im scared that the doc is going to look at me and say "um, sorry, theres nothing there". Is he going to tell me its all in my head??? my bt results for 5 weeks was 1200 so that tells me i am pregnant but im just really nervous

Does anyone else experience this?? or am i just a loony????

Hi Hollye,

You're not going looney and it is completly natural to fret! My friend is currently pregnant and stresses every day it seems (and her bubs is fine!).

You're not bleeding or anything are you? If it would ease your mind you could call your Ob... otherwise try to wait and good luck with the scan! It will be lovely to see the heartbeat which should reassure you.

hey thanx for ur reply..nah im not bleeding, no cramps no nothing. its just now that its getting closer i am very very nervous. ahhhhhhhhh lol

You're definitely not looney!! I think it's only natural to worry, I've been thinking the same things and I had a dating scan done at 8 weeks and saw the heart beat, and yet still in the back of my mind I think "what if...."
It's not too long till your scan!! Good luck! I think I need more patience!

I stressed too....the whole first trimester I was so worried something was going to happen. I bled a little just after we found out too so that was pretty scary. Just think though, you get to meet your little one for the first time at your 12 week scan. It is one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. Think about it like that and it might make it a little easier. My little girl is 10 weeks tomorrow now so all my worry was about nothing (I pretty much stressed a little all pregnancy) and she's perfect. Hope you are ok xx

Hi Holly

If you feel like it would make you feel better, ask your doc for an early scan now - might make the next 5 weeks a bit easier.

having said that though, I have had one at 7.5 and 10.5 weeks this time due to my history, and even though last one was just last Friday, and I feel sick, it still doesn't feel real- except I have developed a pot belly, but that is to be expected as it is my 5th preg.

Good luck, and do what makes you feel better

Sam

I've been going through a similar thing but more so panicking about every little pain, with my first i never worried but with #2 i had some bleeding early on and now i get worried with the slightest pain but doc says As long as your still sick and feeling pregnant everything is most likely fine. I'm def still feeling sick.....
Good luck let us know how it goes

How you finding pregnancy so far?

**myboysmumma** · April 10th, 2008, 03:47 PM

I think it's normal for everyone...we know that the 12 week scan can tell us if something is 'wrong' so we worry and worry. Personally I worried from day 1 to birth lol and this pregnancy is no different. Must be the mummy protectiveness

**[M]umma[M]ia** · April 13th, 2008, 09:38 AM

uh oh...im really stressing again. OMG!! why do we do this to ourselves??? i dont even really feel pregnant anymore..mayb im just having a bad day. I just really hate not knowing if everything is ok

*screams*

**Carla MP** · April 13th, 2008, 06:37 PM

Holly..OMG I m having one of those days too.....thinks its normal. I seem to read into things way too much..maybe your doing that at the moment...you dont have long to go before your scan so maybe its just nerves....you need to take it easy and think how exciting things are going to be at the scan when you see your beautiful baby....hang in there sweetp! I know exactly how your feeling right now except I have 5 or so weeks till I hit the 12 week mark... I have another scan at week 8 and wish my doctor would keep testing my blood for my levels so i can sleep at night!

Can anyone tell me if you have experienced this.....Im on progesterone pessaries and Im wondering whether its one of its side effects or not or maybe jus tmy body going through the change....My pelvis IS KILLING ME.....it was my left one last week and since I found out I was pregnant but as of yesterday it is now my right pelvis. Today I couldnt manage to walk without a limp and if I did it elt as though I was going to collapse..gets better as I keep moving but man does it hurt............whats going on????

**Alyssas_Mum** · April 14th, 2008, 07:44 PM

Hey there,
not long now til your 12 week scan Hollye, must be excited.
Went to the doc today and the first doc forgot to test for iron, hep b and rubella so gotta have another round of bloods again. I so hate those needles

Up-side is the doc has ordered another ultrasound for 13weeks just to check on bubs (cause of the bleeding early on) I LOVE MY DOC, maybe you should go see her Hollye. lol
So only 2 weeks til i get to see my little man again.

Don't stress all you ppls out there, i'm sure your babies are A OK
