Ultrasound tomorrow and nerves!

midge519

Tomorrow is finally my anatomy scan. I'll be almost 22 weeks and seeing all you ladies post about yours has made me so anxious! My two other pregnancies I had it at 19 and 20 weeks and I know it's normal to wait till now by gosh the last few weeks have been hard lol.

Getting to the nerves part I'm so nervous that we won't be able to get a good potty shot. I know finding out boy or girl isn't the end of the world but I'm so excited to know and to finally be able to say he or she. I have a boy and a girl already and my boyfriend has two boys. We're hoping for a girl so he has a biological girl but we would be completely happy either way. He treats my children just as his own just like I treat his as my own but it would be amazing for him to have a girl with his DNA. Please don't take this as we wouldn't be happy with a boy as we absolutely would. I've been having girl feelings pretty much since the beginning but have refused to talk to anyone but him about it throughout the pregnancy because we don't want people to take it the wrong way. I'm also nervous that most of our families have already been guessing girl. We don't care that they have been guessing but I'm nervous they'd be disappointed if it's a boy. And for no reason at all I'm super nervous it's suddenly going to be twins. They run in my family and we did have a 10 week dating ultrasound but I'm still nervous.

Maybe I'm just a ball of nerves hoping it's all going to go well (no indication what so ever that it won't) but it's nice to get it out.

It is. I can't wait to see the little one just wiggling all around. Especially since my ultrasound is 24 hours from now and it's moving like crazy now (it normally does when I head home from work or know I'm going to see my boyfriend soon). Thank you!

I am more venting about my random nerves that I have no need for.

I'm a bit confused about your post. Are you just venting about being excited for your ultrasound? I think we all felt that way.

You're right. That's exactly what I'm doing lol. I have no need for my nerves and I feel like I'm already driving my boyfriend crazy with my "omg I'm so nervous" comments. He is super supportive and he will let me say it a million times but you ladies get it lol.

@midge519 One thing I have learned from pregnancy is that although it's natural, it's pointless to worry or stress about the unknown. There is an excellent chance that everything will be fine! Remember, most babies are born healthy, by a long shot!

Omg you're totally right. I've been trying not to worry about it but being this close to seeing this little one is making me so nervous. Thank you so much for your kind words!!

@midge519 You got it girl. I am sure being one of the last in the group to get your scan is difficult. I am luck that I am due the first week in October, so I don't have to see people experiencing things that I have not yet. Relax and do something good for yourself to take your mind off of it! Have some ice cream. Here's a hug!  >:D<

I think being one of the last is part of what's so hard. This due at the very end of the month thing is hard lol.

Relaxing is the goal tonight. Tomorrow is my boyfriends birthday (doubly special for him!) so we're starting with cuddles tonight. We do have ice cream, and most days that is my craving anyways. Time to give in :-)

We just had our scan and it's a boy!!! After the first moment of we will not have a girl (literally a half second looking at each other's) we are totally stoked.

I have to wait until July 9th for the a/s. My MFM doc is on vacation until then. I will be just shy of 24 weeks. This feels like it is still forever away. I have lots of nerves and it's not even about the sex as we had dna testing done early on and know we are having a girl.

Awe momma that's torture. Positive thoughts your way! I know how hard the waiting game is. But think about it this way, it allows features and what not to be developed a little more and maybe you'll be able to see more kicks instead of just feeling them
