Petrified of 12 week scan tomorrow

[LJaydow]

So I have my 12 week scan tomorrow, and I really am so very terrified. I am worried they will say that something is wrong, even more so now that I brought a baby gro from Debenhams yesterday for the bub. Just feel like I have cursed it, and every one knows I am pregnant too

I am getting headaches, nausea, tiredness, cant eat as much as i used to be able too, sore boobs and have a lil bump...but im still thinking tomorrow they will say something is wrong.

I have had 2 scans, one showing the yolk sac, then later on showing the heartbeat...does this stand me in good stead?! Trying to look at percentages that things will be ok, but every single thing i read on the internet there is always something negative in there, and I am starting to think that because it is so common on the internet then it is common in general.

Im just so scared

I felt exactly the same, even after having a previous scan where I saw the heartbeat. I think it's normal to worry. But try not to worry too much, like you say you've had previous scans and you've seen a heartbeat, that puts you at a lesser percentage of things going wrong already. And bubs is making sure you know he/she is still in there by all those symptoms

I have had 3 scans so far (standard where I live to have them every two weeks early on), and before each one I always have a bit of a worry that something will be wrong this time, but so far everything seems normal. Since you have had 2 normal scans and are still having lots of symptoms, I'm sure it will be fine!

Remember people are far more likely to post on the internet when there is a problem (with anything, not just pregnancy), so even if you see a lot of posts where people seem to have something wrong, there are still many many more people out there who are having no issues at all! Too much googling is often not a good thing Good luck with your scan

I have my first scan tomorrow as well and I feel exactly the same, my OH doens't really understand why I'm so anxious about it but I just want everything to be ok and healthy in there you know!
Good luck, will be thinking of you when I'm in the waiting room!

Tuesday will be my 12 weeks scan but also my first scan so i am a little apprehensive. I am not totally sure what to expect and of course my imagination is running wild at the possible outcomes of the scan. I suppose all I can suggest is stay positive, you have had 2 scans previous and both were as expected so why should this one be any different?

Im sure all will be fine hun , but remember just because of the symptons doesnt mean all is ok, i was sick eveyday up until the day on my dating scan in march and i got awful news, so symptons aren't reliable to go on, but just keep positive

There was a post here somewhere, can't seem to find it now, it was about two weeks ago. Someone posted the percentages from every week/every milestone (i.e. heartbeat) if I come across it I'll repost or maybe that person could fill us in?

I was told by midwife on thursday (this is just roughly lol cant remember exact).

Once you see a heartbeat at 6 weeks there is a 78% chance of pregnancy carrying to term ok.
8 weeks 94% chance
12 weeks 99.4% chance.

I'm sure and i read it somewhere yesterday i'll try and fink link x
