nervous about A/S

Agshan08

Is anyone else super nervous about their Anatomy scan? Ours is scheduled for the 17th, but the closer it gets the more nervous I am that they will tell me something is wrong. My uterus is getting bigger, but seems to be a bit lopsided and isn't measuring to 17 weeks (I'm 17 wks and 3 days) it's closer to 15 or 16 cm. Also i'm not really feeling the baby kick or anything, i'm not even sure i'm feeling flutters (of course i'm a first time mom so that could be why too). I do have a home doppler, so I know there is still a strong little heartbeat which helps...

 I know that most likely everything will be fine and it is all out of my hands anyway, i just can't get excited about finding out the sex because i'm so scared they are going to tell me my baby has something catastrophic wrong.

IMO everyone is a little worried that something will be terribly wrong with their baby.

I'm high risk and really looking forward to my a/s to put my mind as ease. I keep telling myself everything will be great. While the positive thinking helps, I am also not so excited about finding out the sex. I just want to know everything is OK. 

Have you been measuring yourself, or has your OB said you are measuring small? How did you last u/s go?

Yep! My A/S is tomorrow and I am freaking out. I just remind myself that I was the same exact way before my A/S with DD and she is perfect!  I am a NICU nurse so knowing exactly what they are measuring and why has always made me nervous! Sometimes I wish I could just not know and go in to enjoy seeing LO and finding out boy/girl! Haha!

I completely understand as my a/s is the 19th and I'm nervous as well. I really don't care whether it's a boy or a girl as long as the baby is healthy. And I mean this wholeheartedly. Either way I will be happy. I'm staying positive since I too have a home doppler and so far all my blood work has been good. We can only do so much but if it helps, chances are your baby is perfect!
