Hiya im trying not to get paranoid as ive been fine for the past week but i have my dating scan next week and i keep imagining that ill go in and there will be no baby and ill find out im not pregnant at all!!

Stupid i know because ive missed two periods and have had about 6 poss tests but cuz no one official has tested me im still paranoid as i dont have many symptoms anyway tho i know that is normal also.

I had my booking in appt last Sunday and they took my blood and urine sample so im guessing that by now they will have tested both and if anything was abnormal then they would have called me - like low hcg level and stuff like that - i assume they look at your hormone levels when they test the bloods???

I being silly i know but im sure you all know what is like lol xxx

I'm exactly the same - and I've had two early scans due to bleeding so I've seen the little bean!
I also keep worrying about every ache and pain, even though I know it's prob things just stretching and moving about, but I keep thinking something bad is going to happen!
What date is your scan? I've got mine booked for Tuesday 22nd April. Counting down the days...
Keep smiling and just think, by next week you'l have seen your baby!!! xx

Thanks, Its on the 17th and the two weeks since i booked it seem to be a lifetime haha xx

I know the feeling... I've waited for the post each day but I got it on Wednesday! Let me know how you get on xx

I know i've seen my bean, and i still think that its not real, that i've just got bloating and got some bug. I keep looking at the photo and i still cant believe it

I was exactly the same before my scan - was half expecting to be told the HPT was wrong and all my symptoms were in my mind...but thankfully there was an active bubba in there!!

Good luck at your scan!!

xx

I've seen mine twice and seen the HB both time and I am still very nervous about my scan in the morning. Its normal - get used to it - it's never going away!!!! You're a parent now!!!

Hehe its funny how us normally rational women turn into paranoid wrecks when we get pregnant, i guess also as its my first i dont know what to expect cc

It can all be very overwhelming at times - esp with your first. That said I have felt much worse this time round. I breezed through my last one but I was MUCH younger then!! I think when you are a little older, wiser and maybe more realistic about what kind of world we live in, its hard not to worry. We keep reading about horrible things happening to the girls on here or you might know someone who had rough time - I've had 2 friends have m/cs in the past 6 months - and it makes you realise that these things can and do happen to normal nice people who did everything right. But at the same time, you can also come no here and see the small sample out of the millions of women in the world going through what you are going through and everything turning out just right.
Try to enjoy it - you are doing something very special after all. I cant wait until I've had my scan tomorrow and I've promised myself I'm going to get right into it! I LOVED being pregnant with Emily and I'm gonna love it with this one too.
