12 week scan today - so nervous!

[redlemonade]

I can't wait for my scan this afternoon but I'm also really nervous. I'm scared that there will be something wrong with the baby or that she/he will have stopped growing. My brother and SIL had a MMC at 12 weeks and it has me so scared that the same will happen for us.

I don't think my anxiety is helped by the fact that I'm insanely stressed from work the last few weeks. I feel like I'm just not coping but don't want to admit defeat. I'm getting terrible headaches which I think are partly hormonal but mainly stress related. That can't be good for my baby

Roll on this afternoon! Please keep your fingers crossed that all will be ok!!

I am keeping my fingers crossed for you and I totally understand how you feel, even without the mmc in my family.
I had a horrible dream tonight as well.
Don't worry though! Your previous scan went great so this one will most likely go great too. Keep reminding to yourself that this is a support forum, and that is why we read about so many mc and mmc. It is not that common in the average population.
I am sorry it has been hectic at work We have been struggling financial this month, due to unexpected expenses and I had added stress about it as well, but that is now out of the way I hope that things will get better for you at work as well.
Hugs and I am looking forward to seeing a pic of your little one

Thanks everyone, your support means a lot. I will keep you updated!

Coco sorry to hear about your stress too, but I'm glad it's over now. My workload should decrease in about 3 weeks and it can't come soon enough!

Actually it's over because I unexpectedly found 600 euros in a bag. I have this habit to split money when we travel in different bags, in case one gets lost My mom does it and she also has ended up with happy surprises from time to time
After your scan I am sure you will be way too excited to bother stressing with work as much At least a week will pass faster.

Oh wow, I wish I found €600! Most I've ever found was €50 in a pocket lol! It felt like I'd won the lotto

Oh I'm so happy I could BURST!!!

Everything went so well. Our baby looks very healthy (they said everything looked great - she said the nasal bone is perfect, so no sign of downs, perfect amount of fluid, perfect placenta, perfect heart rate etc etc).

Our baby was VERY chilled out - sound asleep! Sonographer got me doing exercises to wake her/him, but nope! Taking after its daddy

She/he had legs crossed too but I know it's too early to tell gender yet anyway.

DH and I are just enjoying each others company now but I'll put a pic up later. Thanks for all the support ladies!!!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]
