12 Week Scan Tomorrow....

[hokiemom]

and I'm super nervous. Everything was great at my 8 week appt., but I recently went through a miscarriage so I'm still VERY nervous about tomorrow. I still haven't been able to find the hb on the doppler I bought a couple weeks ago, but I've been trying to not think about that too much. Fingers crossed that everything is still good and baby is healthy. I just want tomorrow morning to get here!!!

Anyone else getting ready for their 12 week scan?

I am sure everything is fine! But I wouldn't bother with the doppler yet, some women can get it very easily but some can't (like me) and baby is just fine! I am sure everything will be perfect

I will be getting a 13 week scan on feb 23 and I can't wait!

Ugh I hated my doppler last time round. It just brought me endless frustration.

I'm sure everything will be fine hun

FX for you everything will be ok. I was the same as you - no problems at all at our 8 week scan but I was still so nervous because of my 2 miscarriages that I ended up booking a private scan at 10 weeks. That helped to calm me, but I will still SO nervous in the run up to the 12 week scan. It was really nerve-wracking sat in the waiting room but it's totally normal. It's hard to be 100% positive all the time, especially when you've suffered a loss

I think 12 weeks is a little too early for a doppler to pick up the hb? Not sure, could be wrong. I decided not to use one so not an expert at all!

Good luck for tomorrow, let us know how it goes x

Everything went fine HB was 167 and baby was moving like crazy (maybe why I've been having trouble finding the hb on my own). I'm relieved, but still cautious...sounds crazy, but I will be until August rolls around.

Actually yesterday was the first day that I started feeling good! I feel less tired and have a bit more energy, although I am still in bed at 9pm haha how are you feeling?

 

[hokiemom]

I'm feeling ok. A little tired, but I work full-time from home with a 2 year old so I was tired before I was pregnant lol! I'm running about 15 miles a week and I think that's helping me have more energy. I need more sleep, but I still can't seem to fall asleep before midnight or so. I'm glad to hear you're starting to feel better. It makes such a big difference

 

[newmommy21]

Oh that must be a lot to handle! This is my first, but I have to take the bus to work every morning and I find that tires me out! But it is getting better...I can't wait to have energy back! Or at least more

 

[hokiemom]

You should start to feel pretty good here Take advantage of doing things while you are feeling good! I would be tired taking the bus, too!

Yeah, I am not yawning as much during the day! yay I have taking care of some household stuff I was putting off hehe
