We had our 19 weeks ultrasound last week, it did a lot to put my mind at rest, but they tell you so much about what could go wrong that you spend so much time thinking about the whatifs you forget to think about the whatifnots! We have another scan at 24 weeks because bub was all curled up and comfy so they couldn't get one of the measurements they needed... I'll be just as paranoid from now until that one as well, because I'm as yet to feel any real movement, even though on the ultrasound bub was happily kicking away. I'm hoping I get movement soon, that will help to put my mind at rest as if I can feel plus one in there I'll be much more comfortable knowing that he or she is okay.

I think it's a mum thing, especially for us first-timers... my mum told me to get used to it because you'll never stop worrying about your children... so I think paranoia is good, to all those soon-to-be mummies that are currently going grey with worry that everything is okay welcome to the world of parenthood... hopefully we all survive it without going totally nuts!
