I was worried out of my brain with my first scan at 9wks, yet sadly resigned that I might be losing bubs as I'd been cramping and spotting that week. Couldn't believe the little heart beating away on the screen and little squishy bouncing around.

Still nervous at 20wk scan because I'd read WAY too much literature about all of the things that could be detected at the 2nd trimester ultrasound. In the end was totally relieved to hear bubs looked healthy!

Ivana - please don't stress out too much over not 'looking pregnant'. At almost 20wks, I had a belly flatter than most people have being non-pregnant. Have suddenly popped in the last fortnight but was still getting 'you are so not pregnant' at 25wks pregnant!

One little side note; try to find an ultrasound place with a sonographer that has a GOOD bedside manner? IMHO, asking a very nervous, first-time mother whether she'd had the pregnancy confirmed or simply not saying anything for 5mins is not good!
