Hi Ladies,

This is my first time posting and also my first pregnancy. My 8 week scan is next Wednesday and I can't help but feel really worried about it. I feel like they are going to tell me I was imagining the whole pregnancy or something. I really want it to go well. :-(

Re: So scared for 8 weeks scan :(

  • There's nothing you can do, hun. If there's no cramping, heavy bleeding, or pain try to be positive. I know the feeling though. I'm approaching the date I got the news that my last pregnancy wasn't progressing well. But, for today my boobs hurt, slightly nauseous, and feeling ditzy. Keep us posted!

  • I am in the same boat. I had a miscarriage last June- but I found out pretty early that I was miscarrying (I bled just 5 days after my BFP). It was my very 1st pregnancy and I was devastated. I'm 8 weeks today with our ultrasound tomorrow morning. I'm so afraid that they won't find a heartbeat and that I'm silently miscarrying. There is also a bit of pressure- DH wants to tell his family at Thanksgiving if we hear a heartbeat. I'm just a stressed mess, but I know it's bad for the baby. Trying so hard to keep calm, esp since there's not much I can do at this point. Saying a prayer for you and me that our ultrasounds go well.
  • There's nothing that can be done regardless of the outcome, so know that, for today, you're pregnant. :) Be excited and thrilled about it!  Don't stress - stress isn't good for you or the baby.

  • My first appt is next Tuesday as well, and I'm getting kind of nervous. Let's try to relax and hope for the best!!
  • No bleeding or cramping and still feeling very much pregnant so my fingers are crossed! Best of luck in the ultrasound!! Keep us posted
  • There is nothing we can do at this point...stressing will not help. I have my first US tomorrow too and I am staying positive! :-)

  • Unfortunately you're probably going to worry the whole pregnancy and even after baby is here! It's a big job being a Momma, but try not to get too anxious about it! Think positively and be happy :)
  • It is normal to stress. Just try to remember that most likely everything will be amazing!  You will likely see your little baby, their heartbeat, and we even saw little one wiggling around.  Try to relax, you have no reason to believe something is wrong.  I hope it goes well and be sure to give us an update. 
  • I was so nervous for mine too! I just tried to be as optimistic as possible. There is nothing you can do at this time, so just enjoy the excitement of pregnancy (in between the nausea) and hope for the very best. Good luck!

  • My first scan is tomorrow. I'm terrified.
  • First ultra sound is tomorrow too ladies and I'm a nervous wreck. It doesn't help that my fiance is super positive and I'm the complete opposite so he doesn't understand. Praying we ALL hear good news ladies! I have faith we will.
  • FX that all goes well.  Try to relax, I know easier said than done.  Remind yourself that you have no reason to believe you're not pregnant.

  • I completely understand the feeling! Up until the ultrasound tech showed me the monitor I still felt like maybe I was imagining the whole thing. Stay positive and Fx you have a great appointment!
  • I also miscarried in July, going in for a follow up ultrasound tomorrow and worried sick
  • I hear you ladies! In this same boat - my first appt is next Thursday and I have to try and block it out, otherwise I will lose my shit! I'm so anxious...try to remain calm and positive :) like pp said - this is kind of just the beginning of worrying about our kids!
  • My first scan is tomorrow and I'm super nervous. But trying to stay relaxed and positive!! ( I'm not going to get anything done at work tomorrow, haha) Praying all of our scans go great!! <3
  • I'm right there with ya. My scan is in 3 hrs and I broke down last night telling my hubby I was worried something will be wrong. That this is too good to be true. (We got pregnant on the second month trying right after our wedding). I'm also nervous because he can't come with me since he is super busy with work and is self employed. But I'm glad my mom is able to come support me. I'm also scared it's twins (runs in the family) and he won't be there to see it. I think all this worrying is because of our motherly instinct to worry and to protect our baby. Oh and there is suppose to be a major snow storm where I live (upstate ny) so this should be fun! Ball of nerves!
  • Just ate 2 eggos and am already feeling nauseated. I'm looking at this huge 32 oz jug of water that I have to drink in 30 min praying I don't barf in the car en route to ultrasound. Good luck, ladies!
