Waiting for next scan - time dragging its heels!

I'm in the same boat! It's also annoying because my hospital do the anomoly scan at 22-23 weeks so those last few weeks when everyone else has found out really drag. No advice I'm afraid, just empathy and a mutual moan!

I did a private scan before my 20 week one. Since I don't have my 20 week appointment until tomorrow I am super glad I did it! I feel like I've know he's a boy for so long when it has only been 4 weeks. And really when you think about it, 4 weeks isn't that long.

So that's what I would suggest, look into booking a private scan. They're so much fun and so worth it.

The time sure does slow down when you're waiting for 20 week scan. This is my first ever pregnancy and I feel like I've been pg for ages already. I find it hard to really get excited because I don't know the gender or that everythings ok in there. I've probably just got nerves being a first time mom but I still find it surreal that I'm even pg. I don't have it in my budget to do a private scan right now so I have to wait 4 more weeks. Hurry up already

time between 12 & 20w scan does feel like an age esp when your still sick as a dog 3-4 days a week but i seem to be keeping myself fairly busy and just not thinking about it to much so in all fairness time from Feb has flown over.
We did book mini 4d and sneaky look on saturday for the next day so was lovely seeing baby only 4 more weeks till 20w scan plenty stuff happening with my girls.


Ive not seen you in november sparkler thread before, should join us its very chatty and is 87 due.

It felt like forever between the 2 scans. I had mine last week but baby wouldn't play ball so have to go back in another 3 weeks! Arghhh!!

I'm only 16+1 and have anomaly scan booked for 20+2, but because we found out at just 4 weeks it feels like I've been pregnant forever.

I'm desperate for reassurance that everything is okay, to hear the heartbeat and to find out if my boy is going to have a little brother or sister, also reluctant to start shopping or choosing names beforehand.

I work full time and have a 17 month old so really you'd think I would have sufficient distractions already but apparently not. So impatient! I think I need a hobby.

How is everybody else coping with being in limbo? What are you doing to help pass the time between 12 and 20 week scans?

Omg same here. Im 16 + 0 my next scan is the 11th. I just can't wait! I just want to be sure my lil one is okay. Especially since my blood pressure was up my last visit. I'm nervous. Then I want to see my little bean move around on the ultrasound again. I was laying in bed worried today then I rolled over my stomach and I felt fluttering for the first time. . I am so happy. Every time I get nervous something always happens to remind me that my baby is okay.

Omg I hear you! I still have SIX weeks to find out. I'm not sure I'll make it...might cave and purchase a private scan, though I do think it is a waste of money. But this wait!! It's insane.

Same I'm 16+5 and my scan is 19+1, it's killing me!!! I also have a 16.5 month old little boy aswell. I am seriously counting down the days til my scan, I've got a gender guess thread I seriously analyze the pics constantly lol. The wait is torturous!

I was like this! I had quite a few scans due to bleedibg, now I've had my 20 week scan I've no more to look forward too!

Booking a private scan though

Hope time goes fast for you all waiting.

Yo yo I'm still getting then in 28,32 and 36 weeks due to placental abruption and suspected ugr in last pregnancy

Glad they are keeping an eye on you-must have been scary to have placental abruption last time. Has your sch resolved now?

 

[hopefulfor1st]

At my 12 week scan it had shrunk a little down to 17mm so will see at 20wk scan.
Never had any more than slight tan discharge though- wouldn't even call it spotting!

I'm with you too ladies. My anomaly scan isn't until 7 weeks today - sooooo long! DH isn't fussed about having an extra private scan as he says everything is fine (as I'm still sick!) and he gets very anxious leading up to it. It just feels like a very long wait. Might see what the midwife thinks (seeing her in 3 weeks). I hate wishing time away!
