Hello Mums!

I am nearly 12 weeks pregnant (hurrah) but my scan is not until 17th September (boo). Anyway I am really excited but I don't know what to expect at the Scan other than I have opted for the Nuchal Test plus the additional blood tests. Any info you can give me on what to expect, how long it takes would be good.

Also, I have been really lucky and not suffering any symptons to speak of and now the 12 week period is nearly here I am getting paranoid that there is no baby and that as I feel so normal that I am not actually pregnant - I am sure these are normal feelings and I hope that some of you felt like this too??

Love Natalie & Boris Bump.!

Hi Nat & Boris lol

I'm 17 weeks now and had my scan including the Nuchal test at just over 12 weeks. All was ok and as long as the baby is in the right position (mine wasn't at first so had to do rolly pollys and jogging on the spot would you believe!) it won't take long. Is a truly amazing experience because I went from peeing on a stick at 5 weeks to suddenly seeing this 'real baby' at 12 weeks.

I've had hardly any symptoms like you so I was like 'am I really pregnant' (even took another wee test) so when you see the scan it totally becomes real.

Find I get quite tired now but am waiting for this energy burst that everyone says you get (wish it would hurry up lol) and my boobs are bigger but baby bump is properly forming now and I find myself talking to it!

Hope it comes round quickly for you and of course let us all know how you got on.

Hiya,

I am also awiting my first scan, with this pregnancy, I had a early scan when I was pregnant at the end of last year but I miscarried. I am so scared that the same thing will happen again but how can I put it to the back of my mind?!

But having my scan before it was amazing I was just 7 weeks before and am just reachiing my 8th week this time around, but cant get all the bad feelings out of my head. I feel ompletely different with this pregnancy and am optimistic all will be ok but there is a part of me that doesn't know for sure. Does anyone else know what I mean and could they help me consentrate on the positive things.
