Woke up panicking about anatomy u/s and baby...

[labgal]

... For no reason? I'm not sure if it's because my pregnancy has been fairly uncomplicated (no bleeding, every u/s to date has come back great, blood tests and NT were great). Though the getting pregnant part had its pitfalls.

I've felt pretty positive throughout my entire pregnancy so far. I haven't worried too much about m/c and haven't thought anything would really go wrong. However this morning I woke up in a complete panic that I haven't been able to shake all day, that because everything has been fine now I am just waiting for the shoe to drop.

I have 6 days until the anatomy scan. Is this just normal? I hope it's not an intuition. I've been taking pictures of my bump and it looks like it's grown a lot since my last scan. I don't know why I'm feeling so nervous

I had that exact feeling of dread leading up to my anatomy scan. I guess I felt like everything had gone so well up to that point that something had to be wrong. I definitely had what I thought was intuition that something wasn't right. I didn't sleep well for days leading up to it, but it turned out all my worrying was for nothing, because he was and still is completely healthy. Try to remember that almost all the time, the baby is healthy and growing just fine. Also, if it helps, my worrying and anxiety decreased hugely after the anatomy scan. I had been worrying about different things since I first found out I was pregnant, but it finally got better after the anatomy scan. Good luck and keep us updated! Are you going to find out boy or girl?

Aww, I'm right there with you. I've also been worrying about my anatomy scan, even though mine is still 20 days away! These will seriously be the 20 longest days of my life.

I feel the same way, though - everything's been perfect so far and I can't help but think, "What's to come?" I keep feeling like something may be wrong, though I know it's fear/uncertainty and not intuition. I think we're just so excited to be mommies and like everyone, we want healthy babies. Just the thought of something being wrong is terrifying! But as justplay said, almost all scans are normal and healthy. I try to remind myself of that. And even if something was wrong, there's nothing I can do now except wait and hope for the best. I'm sure our babies will be perfect and healthy!

Mine is Thursday and I'm excited and a tad worried but I trust God has heard my daily prayers so I won't stress. I've stressed this whole pregnancy not allowing myself to add on to it. Can't wait for your healthy update its going to be ok

Thanks ladies... so glad there are people that can relate! I know I just want the LO to be healthy, and you're right that almost all of the time things are perfectly fine. I think I will feel much better after I actually have the scan. I can't imagine how it must have been in ye olde times!

We are planning on finding out whether baby is a boy/girl. I absolutely can't wait! You're due soon, Justplay! How exciting! A virgo baby

Are you going to find out, Sand?

I can't wait for your update either, Sasha!
