Struggling mentally between scans ....

Hey, im currently 13+2 , I had my 12 week scan on 6th Sept and all was good. However , im struggling to relax my mind and stop worrying about the baby growing and doing ok until my next scan (private gender on 11th october) Ive suffered 2 early losses previously and this is the furthest ive got and the baby was healthy at the 12 week scan so I shouldn't have anything to worry about but I just cannot stop these overwhelming feeling of worry .! Has anyone suffered like this before or have any tips on how to manage. I just want to have a scan every 2 weeks until I can feel it moving. 😩 😭

The gaps between scans seem soooooo long, it is hard.

I’m 14 weeks and feel exactly the same. I’ve had two previous losses but just need to keep having those reassurance scans. I’ve contemplated using my savings today to pay for another one. I know this isn’t giving you any tips on how to manage it but just wanted to share I feel exactly the same as you today ♥️ it’s so so so tough. X

Honestly feel I could've written this post myself. My last scan was at 11+5 (dating scan) and I'm currently 14+3 and don't have a scan until 20 weeks now. I'm terrified after experiencing 2 pregnancy losses as well and now symptoms have started to ease more, it feels harder not to worry. I've been deliberating going for a private scan in a couple of weeks for some reassurance. I've never had a private scan though and I just worry I will have one and something is wrong😥 I don't have any tips really, apart from getting fresh air and keeping occupied seems to help me a little. Just know you're not alone x

I feel the same, had 12 week just shy of 14 and two days later I was freaking out something was wrong even though it was jumping about. I have no advice except statistically after 12 weeks the chances of loss as so much lower. I’ve booked a gender scan for tomorrow at 16 weeks too, couldn’t care less about the gender I just want to see it moving again!

Do as many scans you can afford! I lost 5 babies and when my pregnancy was going well I had scans every 3 weeks privately just for piece of mind and I don’t regret it 😘
