I'm freaking out and getting seriously stressed!

scrunchie · Nov 8th, 2009, 16:59 PM

Help please!
I'm totally panicked by my 7 week scan!
I had it last week. My GP and I thought I was 9 weeks and the scan put me at 7 weeks which totally threw me. been panicking ever since!
Everytime I look at the photo i freak out and have been frantically searching for a scan photo that looks like mine!
Anybody got any they could post to hopefully ease my nerves???
Wish I hadn't gone for the scan now. Was much more relaxed before

this is my problem! mine doesn't look anything like that!
it just kinda looks like a peanut or jelly bean.
the sonographer saw a heartbeat.
that should be good enough, shouldn't it?

Yes thats fine hun, I was very lucky with my pic as I think the machine was a very new one and baby just uncurled at that moment

I have other pics of it looking like a little bean

The main thing is you saw a heart beat

Hi sweetie, don't worry! The heart beat was seen. If it reassures you, mine looked like a jelly bean with little nubs for limbs too :-)
It takes up to 10 days for implantation to occur: you may have implanted at the latest possible moment, which would explain the change in due date. Baby can't start developing until then since it needs more nutrients to grow past the several cell stage.
The heartbeat is by far the most important thing!!

thanks! I feel more at ease now.
I think it's just the shock of it all.
plus the sonographer went so quiet when he looked at the screen.
he didn't say anything for ages. that really kind of upset me.
probably my hormones playing up a bit too cos to be honest i just feel like crying now!
okay, need to snap out of this - focus on the positive!
bean with a heartbeat at 7 weeks - yay!

scrunchie · Nov 8th, 2009, 17:47 PM

thanks again CJ!
i'm just overthinking the whole thing!
hope all is well with you

Missy86 · Nov 8th, 2009, 17:48 PM
