I have my 12 week scan at 12.6 weeks on the 17th of January and I am so scared of the nuchal translucency scan. After an ectopic and a missed miscarriage I just always fear the worst - anyone else feel this way?
I just want to be able to relax and feel happy about this pregnancy.
I hope everyone else is doing well. x
It’s completely normal to feel nervous going through the scans, especially considering what you have been through.
I am inspired by your pregnancy story after an ectopic. I’m just 2 weeks from my first pregnancy which resulted in a ruptured left tube. So happy to hear so many women on here have gone on to have successful and healthy pregnancies.
Just hang on and hope for the best. And always listen to your body! I think women give themselves little credit between knowing when something is really wrong and it just being nerves. 12 weeks is a great milestone!
All the best, keep us updated 
Thank you Tmex - I appreciate your nice words and I am so sorry you had to go through an ectopic.
The only advise I can give you - give yourself enough time to heal and for me it did take a while.
Lots of love

Hi Hun, I too am due my 12 week scan. I’m 11 weeks now and only just been seen by midwife… Should have scan booked in a week or 2 and I know how you feel. In June this year I went for scan and 13 weeks but baby died at 9. Then in august had ectopic with twin in womb. Iv had a scan at 5 weeks and 7 and although everything was fine I can’t shake my bad feeling. But we both need to stay positive because I’m sure our babies are just fine keep us updated and good luck! Xx
Hi Charl-26,
thanks for your post and I am so sorry what you have been through previously. Did you get a date for your scan yet? Mine is this saturday and I am trying to put it to the back of my mind and any anxiety wont help me or change anything and wont be good for my baby. I am 12.3 today, so I am praying everything is ok. I have had no bleeding or anything and my uterus feels like it is growing, so I am taking that as a good sign.
How are you feeling? Thinking of you
Marie
Hi Marie, yes my scan is not until the 30th il be 14 weeks so disappointed that iv got yet another 2 weeks without knowing if baby’s still ok. Hopefully alls fine and this worrying won’t change a thing really. So glad your getting your scan Saturday! Good luck and I’m sure baby is happy and healthy in there. I’m having cramps still had them ever since I found out and it’s horrible but I’m hoping it means baby’s growing xx
When you say you feel your uterus is growing do you mean by light cramps feelings? I’m just so worried atm. If only I could get the innocence of pregnancy back that I had with my first 2… Having a loss changes everything and instead of excited and happy I’m a nervous wreck! Oh to be a woman! Lol thinking of you xx
Hey
I just wanted to say I was scared when I had my 12 week scan. I had an ectopic in July. I’m now 15 weeks on Sunday.
Try not to worry. Easier said than done I know.
Good luck for tomorrow but I’m sure you won’t need it.
Gem xx
Just had the scan and everything measured perfectly 
i could not be happier!! Thanks everyone for your Support! Exactly 13 weeks today
Aww fab news Hun I’m so so happy for you! Iv managed to move mine to Monday so fingers crossed il have the same outcome well done you xx
Thank you so much and I am sure everything will be fine for you! Please keep me updated and try not to worry! I kept myself distracted with work and friends but obviously the anxiety still creeps in. I was mostly ok until this morning though. Xx
Iv been keeping myself busy with my kids and work etc but I mainly find in the nights when there’s nothing to do the anxiety sets in. But im remaining positive I will update Monday xx
Just to update, baby is fine happy and jumping around I’m so so happy! Xxx
Wonderful wonderful news! I am so happy for you! When is your due date by the way? Mine is July 25th
Thanks Hun! my due date is aug 2nd but because it will be a caesarean baby will be taken out on July 25th! So we are pretty close together and can have a moan when we are huge! lol xx
sounds good! Hopefully we can both be a bit more relaxed now xx
Hey Hun was just wondering how u and babba were getting on? We are great iv just bought a home doppler so I have a listen in to babys heart beat every now and then amazing things. Hope ur ok xx
hi, yes getting on fine. I have told a lot of people now as I am 14 weeks and it’s freaking me out a bit as i still get scared sometimes that something may go wrong, although I am mostly positive and relaxed. I think its to do with my hormones as well. When I feel grumpy and moody I also get scared so I hope I will get a batch of happy hormones again soon.
How are you getting on? lots of love
Marie
Aw glad your ok, I’m 13+3 and got my other scan Friday to measure neck Etc. I too have told family and friends but also still scared of losing baby I guess we both won’t be happy until we have baby in our arms xx
let me know how your scan tomorrow goes x
