what if scan is empty? am i really pregnant?
Hi there, my name is Shanaz and i think im about 16 weeks. i shouldve had a scan by now but they havent been able to fit me and because im a low risk i cant get seen sooner.
Just wanting some advice from some expecting mothers really...how do i know i am really pregnant? what if im not? im getting quite a bump already but how do i know im not just putting on weight? how big should i be at 16 weeks.. im sorry its sounds so silly but it just doesnt seem real.. my scan is next monday and im afraid they will tell me there is nothing there..

Like I said, I know its a lot easier said then done but my best advise is to try not to worry about what should be happening (ie how big you should be ect.) because every pregnancy is differnt. Some people will put on loadsa weight and some will have huge bumps-yet some will barely show at all throughout the majority of their pregnancy. xxxxx

thanks again guys and the picture of the ''existing'' baby will certainly come up on monday! x
I worried loads about the scan - I had a scan at 9 weeks and was convinced that the baby must have died after that as my sickness vanished and I had bleeding, however when I started getting the bump at 16 weeks and heard the heartbeat at the doctors, I knew it was a stickie one!

Also, bear in mind that if anything had happened you would most probably have known about it by now, so as the other ladies have said, relax and look forward to meeting your baby on Monday!

Good luck with the rest of your pg. As you were so late having your first scan, when will you have your anomaly scan?
your thinking pretty much like any other new mum i expect, i know i was so paranoid that i evan did another test on the morning of the scan which showed positive, then when i was having the probe rubbed over belly i think i held my breath in case it didnt show baby.....but i was worrying over nothing, your be fine and good luck x
im 17 weeks exactly today and my next scan is on the 4th June so im looking forward to it this time but i think i will always be anxious and worried... now i know how my mum felt and we just thought she was being silly and over protective.. x
It's so hard to know it's true until you seen that screen!! I was certain after so long ttc that it wouldn't be true... Good luck for the next few months-and I'll no doubt be seeing more of you in the 'my baby is due in oct forum'!!
