Hi Ladies,
Well its not too far off 2.30am where I am and I am currently sat in my living room having woken up after a few hours sleep and something is playing on my mind. It's my first scan in 11ish hours and to tell you the truth i'm a bit nervous.
I have had all the usual scary thoughts - what if there is no baby/heartbeat etc but I am equally just as nervous about seeing my baby and all is well, does that make sense? It's like I am nervous in general about seeing my baby for the first time. I don't know if its because I am scared that everything will be fine at this scan and then something might go wrong further down the line.
I am also made slightly more nervous because my hubby is coming with me. I would never deny him the opportunity to see our baby for the first time but I can't help feeling responsible for whatever he sees so if there is something wrong I would feel like it was my fault and that I have let him down by not carrying a healty child for him.
Has anyone else had thoughts like these? Maybe I am just over tired, I wasn't feeling great yesterday to be honest so maybe thats whats sending me off on one but I am finding myself struggling to put my rational, sensible head on at the mo which is very unlike me.
*UPDATE*
Well I had my scan. All is fine with baby, saw bean very clearly, heart beating away but was unable to have Nuchal scan because baby was standing on his/her head and would not budge!
3 Separate attepmts to scan, lots of jumping, jiggling and jolting to try get that baby to move but no - nothing!
I suspect it is a boy, purely because only a boy could sleep through the internal earthquake I was subjecting him to! So I am a little worried not having the nuchal but I have still been offered the quad bloodtest at 16 weeks. Apparently its not as accurate as the scan but if baby isn't playin not much I can do I suppose
I also found out that I am a week futher along than originally thought, my revised due date is now 16th March 2011. I'm quite excited that I'm closer to meeting bean than going the other way
