NOT looking forward to 20 week scan?

[mammag]

My last scans I practically begged for, but I'm scared to death of this one. I'm scared something will he terribly wrong. I've known two people in my real life that have gone to this scan and were unable to continue their pregnancies, one was recently, and I just have no excitement for this one, only apprehension, OH wants to bring his mom and I don't even want to do that for fear we'll get bad news. Anyone else feel this way? Just this feeling alone makes me afraid I'm having some sort of instinct. Ugh.

I know that feeling. I remember feeling that way. My OH was coming, and I was afraid that he would be there and there would be something wrong.

I hope that feeling is normal because I feel the exact same way. I'm scared something will be 'abnormal' even though I had a scan at 14.5 and tech said everything looked perfect. Fingers crossed for us! My big scary scan is this Wednesday lol.

Yes I felt the same because I have had bad news at scans with previous pregnancies that couldn't continue. I'm always ready to be told something bad now but have been pleasantly surprised with each scan/app/results this time! Just because u feel it may go wrong doesn't mean it will. I know lots of people in real life who have lost babies too so am aware of the reality of pregnancy. That's all it is, too much knowledge. Personally I wouldn't take anyone else with me other than DH so do whatever u feel comfortable with. I'm sure u and baby will be fine . U can't predict the future through a feeling so please try not to worry xxx

I feel the same at every scan, my scan at 13 weeks during my second pregnancy has scarred me for life.

However there is more likelihood of a successful pregnancy than of something serious being wrong.

I was absolutely bricking it. After having a mmc in dec its hard to believe that all could be ok. Even when the scan was being done i was just waiting for her to say something was wrong but all was looking great, measured right on track. Like pp said its more likely all is good than getting bad news. Good luck, are you finding out what you are having?

I feel that way every time I go in for a scan. I am feeling that way for my upcoming scan too. I just keep telling myself that everything will be ok.

You're not alone, I have my 20 week scan on Friday. Even though I just had a scan last week and things looked fine (I'm not sure what all she looked at her main focus was getting us a gender, but she did say the spine looked awesome) I'm still really worried that I'll go in and something will be wrong. I'm trying to convince myself that things will be okay since I'm still feeling baby move but it always worries me.

I definitely want to find out the gender! Maybe after this scan I'll feel comfortable buying a few things. I've been putting that off as well for fear there may be something wrong. I'm a mess, lol. I did have a really good scan at 11 weeks, so that's a plus I hope.

I've felt scared and anxious for all my scans, including my 20 wk one. With that one I was anxious about gender and also something being wrong, but everything was fine. I hope it will be for you too.
