First Scan Nerves
I have my first scan later this week - and I have suddenly become really nervous about it ... did anyone else feel like this...? I am starting to think about all the possible things that could be wrong... I have for some odd reason heard of two missed miscariages this week alone... and I can't help but wonder if all is okay in there.. I know I am being paranoid and unreasonable - but this doesn't seem to stop me from being worried..!! Did anyone else feel like this... xx

good luck at ur scan hun xx
Trust me, this is exactly how i felt and then some!! I had my 1st scan yesterday (which went fantastically well) but for the last couple of weeks i have been impossible. I've been in a right old state convinced myself there is something wrong with the baby or there isn't a baby there and even wrote a post on here to say i was conviced they had found HIV in my blood - which of cause they haven't!!!! I think its perfectly normal to be a little worried and paranoid but if you are really concerned, it might help to talk to the midwife first. I did this yesterday, my bf asked them to see me yesterday as i was in such a state and she reassured me but suggested i might like to speak to a maternity counsellor just to talk about things and worries and how to deal with your feelings if it is all a bit much. But I am sure you are just feeling the normal worries every mum to be has and as soon as you see the little baby on the screen, you will forget you were upset in the first place. Good luck, it will all be fine i'm sure x x
I think it's perfectly natural to feel like that even though my oh doesnt understand it. I told my mw about how I felt at my booking-in appt and she said it was normal and as she has kids she knew how it felt & u never really stop worrying until the baby's in your arms.
I'm sure everything will be FINE. It's scary as hell going for a scan but worth it to see the baby. x
