I'm going to need all of you.......

I don't know what's wrong with me. I am 19 weeks pregnant and so nervous about my 20 week scan. I have no reason to. I have had two great scans with the last at 10 weeks. My bump is starting to show and I can feel my baby in there squirming around. I can hear the HB anytime I want with my Doppler what is wrong with me?????

I have my own therory. We had difficulty having this baby and my first pregnancy ended at 12 weeks. I just keep waiting for the other shoe to drop I guess. I am also a therapist with a specialty in children with disabilities. It's hard to remember any child is born healthy.

Sorry for the long rant but I could use some encouragement. All everything be ok? Am I going nuts?

Aw hon, we all get that feeling around the 20 week mark! I'm 19 weeks too and getting anxious about my scan as well

Your loss is only adding to your fears and that's completely normal I guess when you're had a loss or have had difficulty conceiving it's kind of hard to imagine everything going well in the end! But there are happy endings and there is no reason for you not to be one of them!

We're all here for hugs and support and to send lots of positive vibes that the results of your 20 week scan are nothing less than perfect!!!

I hear you! My scan is tomorrow, and I am super nervous!

But try to remember that it is extremely rare for something to go seriously wrong at this point.

My husband and I had a really hard time conceiving too and finally made it...so of course I'm always worrying something will go wrong! I freak out about every little pain, or if I go a day without feeling any movement (even though I'm only 20 weeks...plus my Dr. told me my placenta is anterior which will definitely make it harder to feel anything).

I had my 20 week scan on Tuesday, and my baby boy is perfectly healthy! I got no sleep the night before because I was so nervous, not to mention excited to find out what I was having! But seeing my gorgeous son on that screen, sucking his thumb and flipping around erased all doubts and worries from my mind...for about an hour anyways, haha.

I think it's normal to feel like this, especially since I never thought I'd get pregnant in the first place, as well as my being a first time mom! When I start to get worried or worked up, I just tell myself the odds of anything going wrong are so very low, and that people have healthy babies every single day! With all that my husband and I went through to get pregnant, karma just has to be on our side with this!

Sorry so long! I just feel the exact same worried feelings every single day and sometimes need the reassurance from others. I hope this helps you some!

Thank you all for your reassurance. I needed it. In my heart of hearts I feel like the baby is fine but its so hard to shake.

I am sure your mc has something to do with your uneasiness. I could not really enjoy my 20 week ultrasound because I was holding my breath the whole time checking off all the organ list to make sure he was fine. He was in the end and I got to enjoy the last few min of my scan. Good luck and hopefully you can stay calm and positive!
