Just thinking of going for a dating scan gets me nervous and I'm not even pregnant yet...

Last time I went for a scan they told me there was no heartbeat so I can only imagine how stressfull my next time will be

and still, I hope it will happen VERY soon ]]> Mon, 21 Jun 2010 10:11:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34114&PID=1070414&title=dating-scan-and-scared#1070414 <![CDATA[Dating scan , and scared ! : I feel exactly the same.

I feel exactly the same. Ive had lots of scans as I had my appendix out at week 9 so there was a lot of checking after that and I also had an early dating scan.

My pregnancy has gone textbook so far but I haven't had many symptoms, I only had sickness for 3 weeks and apart from tiredness and sore boobs and expanding belly I haven't felt that pregnant. I was so nervous before my 12 week scan that it just wouldnt be there anymore lol

Im in this limbo stage now where I haven't felt the baby yet and don't feel many symptoms and Im so worried when I go to my 20 week scan there'll be something wrong. I have no reason to worry but I am so worried anyway it's really upsetting actually.

Glad to hear others feel like this too ]]> Sat, 19 Jun 2010 19:40:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34114&PID=1069216&title=dating-scan-and-scared#1069216 <![CDATA[Dating scan , and scared ! : rachaels wrote:Glad it went...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34114&PID=1068499&title=dating-scan-and-scared#1068499 Author: TheKelly

Good to hear that it went well Kelly.

The word for me in reference to scans is pretty much terror and i tend to go over all the worst cases in my head even though I am trying really hard not to stress, even after having 2 straightforward healthy pregnancies. i will never forget hearing that my pregnancy was twins and they were conjoined - that was back in the days when I was naive! 19 week scan - not fun at all, in saying that i have one on Wednesday and i am really scared but also very excited - babies are exciting!]]> Fri, 18 Jun 2010 17:08:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34114&PID=1068304&title=dating-scan-and-scared#1068304 <![CDATA[Dating scan , and scared ! : Glad it went well!

Hows this for a spin on your feelings Kelly. My SIL had her scan last friday, she's kept me up to date with everything so far. I was SO nervous that everything was going ok. I just didn't want to wish any heart ache on them.

Thank god everything is a-ok & my niece or nephew was 13weeks last friday ]]> Thu, 17 Jun 2010 18:24:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34114&PID=1067087&title=dating-scan-and-scared#1067087 <![CDATA[Dating scan , and scared ! : Glad your scan went well!! ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34114&PID=1067035&title=dating-scan-and-scared#1067035 Author: High9

ha , once shes born you'll worry even MORE Nic

Thanks guys ! glad im not the only one who feels this way

well , scan went fine, took a while to find baby cos my uterus is far down or something, can't remember what the guy said , but he found it , and there was a heartbeat and all , so yay , relief !

I was never nervous with C , not at all , and my first scan with her wasn't til 18 weeks, and she didn't start moving til 20 weeks, that was in the naive, ignorant days when I didn't know all the bad stuff that could happen

HAHA Tishy !!!!

I was the most freaked out before my first scan because I had no symptoms aside from no AF. No MS oh apart from sore ( . ) ( . ) but that could be attributed to anything.

Yep always a bit nervous 'just in case...'

Am nervous about the 20 week scan cos I can't yet feel bubs properly and my ms has largely gone (thank god) so am in that limbo period where I don't feel overly pg!

How did it go anyway? Are you back yet?

Apparently the more children you have the more nervous you get as you start to think your luck is going to run out.

This is according to a couple of friends that are having or had #4. They said they were most anxious during pregnancy with their last.

I was def more nervous with #2 than #1.]]> Thu, 17 Jun 2010 13:22:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34114&PID=1066688&title=dating-scan-and-scared#1066688 <![CDATA[Dating scan , and scared ! : I&#039;m 24 weeks and we&#039;ve...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34114&PID=1066664&title=dating-scan-and-scared#1066664 Author: rachaels

I'm 24 weeks and we've had 8 scans so far due to complications. Every time I am panicking over it - and each time he's fine and playing the fool for the sonographer

I think it's normal to fear the unknown, even though I can feel him I still worry there are things wrong with him.

Totally normal I was so nervous about a missed miscarriage at my 12 week scan because at 11weeks mw couldn't pick up the heart beat (she told me not to worry - it's normal to not hear it until the next appt) andboy was I freaking out! Esp with MS disappearing from 11-13 weeks!

Then I had a gallstone attack and was worried bout the baby so had a scan at 19 and 20 weeks and freaked out before both!

I didn't freak out about my 34 week scan because I could feel her but still worried I would get bad news of some sort! ]]> Thu, 17 Jun 2010 12:53:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34114&PID=1066648&title=dating-scan-and-scared#1066648 <![CDATA[Dating scan , and scared ! : yep tottaly normal good luck hun...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34114&PID=1066591&title=dating-scan-and-scared#1066591 Author: james

Not ridiculous, not at all. I think exactly the same way.

It's a completely normal reaction.

I have a dating scan today , and im nervous .
I have no abnormal cramping, spotting or anything but I just get this irrational fear everytime I have a scan , that something will be wrong .
Even tho i've had 2 perfectly normal healthy pregnancies, I think I have this thought of "I get pregnant easily , I carry to term without complications, I have 2 beautiful kids ...my luck has to run out sometime "

Im being ridiculous aren't I ?
Does anyone else get really nervous before scans ?]]> Thu, 17 Jun 2010 11:52:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34114&PID=1066559&title=dating-scan-and-scared#1066559
