Feeling Sad/anxious after gender scan

[navywife86]

I am not sad about the gender I am VERY happy as I wanted a lil girl but I went to do my registry and now I just feel sad/anxiouse like the fun stuff is over and now the next 20 weeks are gonna drag by...Im moving back home in 8 weeks and my husband is going to a dif state for training for 8 months he will be back for christmas and and the birth then back to training so I thibk it has hit me that im gonna be doing this alone and im going to miss him. Luckily we dont have to worry about money issues so its not that i think its just becoming very real! We tried for a year and are so very excited Im not nervouse about taking care of a baby Ive been a nanny for a long time and looked after very young children but this is different so the breastfeeding and not having him there stuff like that is new to me. Just thought I would ask if anyone felt like this after their 20 week scan/gender scan?

I have my scan on Halloween...but I wanted to suggest that you see if anyone on this forum or others you're on live where you'll be moving? You could maybe join a baby club or get one started. Also...I created a website for the baby since my family is spread out across the states. It keeps me excited because I get to update it constantly and keep everyone else updated. Things like that will keep you busy...plus there's a baby room to decorate in the near future! Fun!

Also...you're a role model for us who are just starting our 2nd trimester...your guidance and insight will be handy...so keep on blogging!

I couldn't have felt more different! I was GLAD my 20 week scan was over (especially as I had to have 2 as they couldn't see her heart properly at the first), it was such a relief... Now I can relax and enjoy the pregnancy as much as possible! I have maternity leave to look forward to now... 6 weeks 5 days and counting!!!

Its probably knowing that you will miss your oh which is the real issue bringing you down and maybe now the pregnancy feels more real than before when you had that initial excitement. I can only imagine how you are feeling and Im sorry he won't be there a lot. Knowing he has you and baby will give him so much strength and will keep him going and for you it sounds like you have a great oh to be proud of. Im sure the time will go in fast between visits maybe you could keep him a journal and send him loads of pics.he will be desperate to be home again.join mum and baby groups to keep up a network of support and there's always your friends on b&b x
