I am scared.

I am feeling really fragile right now and so worried...

So far everything has been ok with this pregnancy and I am now just over 20 weeks... I have had a few little blips along the way but all my scans have been fine etc. At the moment I am just feeling so paranoid... not sure why had my 20 week scan on Friday and I seem to be interpreting my sonographers comments and I have convinced myself that there is something wrong with the babies brain... as that was the only part of the scan she never said was fine. It was also at the very start of it and she asked me if I had all my blood work done and what were the results... my hubby tells me I am reading far too much into the conversation and its all coincidental.

I am also obsessed with thinking about going into labour right now and the baby is not viable.

I know its just my brains way of getting through this and as I say at this point its all paranoia on my part.

Anyway thought I would just get it off my chest.

Hi sweetie - been there, got the t-shirt I'm afraid. If there was a problem on the scan they would tell you so they can do some more investigation. We had to go back a week later because they thought something was wrong with baby's brain but the consultant told the sonographer she had taken the measurement incorrectly

I guess you don't hold your own notes over there, do you? It's probably better that way so you don't go home and google all the measurements and panic yourself over nothing . Can you call the doctors office and ask if everything was OK? I'm sure they'll be understanding.

I think also it's normal to worry about early labour at around 20 weeks - viability seems so close yet so far away. Once you reach 24 weeks you'll be panicking that it's still faaaar too early and baby won't hold on til 30 weeks etc etc.

Jo - so sorry you're feeling stressed - I found the periods around scans sent me paranoid too - it's so hard

Cheers girls.. I am sure your all right. Last time around with Euan i was told the scan was fine then 3 weeks later I had a call from my mw saying that there was something wrong with the heart and they increased my risk of downs to pretty high. I am sure its just paranoia your right.. I guess we just can't help it!

Your right we don't get our notes over here which is a good thing for me. I would so google everything. In terms of measurements everything was ok i think.. looking 3 days bigger than it should at this stage but no big deal.

It is so hard, i know, (after a early MMC and my first child being a premmie i have been anxious all the way through this pregnancy) but like the other ladies said they would tell you if there was a problem those are the kinds of things they are looking for!
