Excited but terrified of 20 week scan?

Question

I posted yesterday about how excited I am to know if baby is a boy or a girl. On the other side of the coin, I find myself extremely terrified that something will be wrong. My anxiety is at an all time high. 
So far, 8 and 10 week scans were perfectly normal. Heartbeat is steady and around 145 (around 17 weeks). Movement is strong and regular and I’ve always measured exactly on or a little ahead. However, I had spotting at 7 weeks due to low progesterone, and I haven’t been able to let go of the anxiety since.
Should these good things bring me comfort?

Answer

Yes be calm, your baby feels what you feel. Which makes me feel guilty for being a crazy nut case sometimes but I just try to de-stress. Mines this coming Wednesday and I’m terrified of something being wrong with him! I know exactly how you feel. Praying for you 💖💙

Answer

I was beyond terrified. I'd seen the little one at 9weeks for a very brief 10 minute scan and all they said was "looks good" and then because of insurance I couldn't see a doc from weeks 12-19 because my doctor moved practices to one an hour away and no longer accepted my insurance either.  My insurance took WEEKS to approve a doctor that was close to me. But luckily everything was just fine, were expecting a healthy baby girl!

Answer

Even if something comes back "abnormal" that doesn't mean it will still be true a month later or at birth. 
Our 1st measured healthy on everything, but had a large head (dad does too)... She was 3.5 weeks early and delivered via emergency c section after my water broke. We spent the first 2 years of life monitoring and watching for signs of "short stature" because her head was way bigger than her height and weight. Long story of restless nights, tears of worry and doctor appointments short: she's totally healthy and a little on the petite side but growing normally...oh, and grew into her head 😏
I know another gal who's little boy measured abnormal for one of the marker's for downs syndrome. Did another scan a week or two later and it was back in normal range! 
God can work miracles on these little babies while they're still inside us! I'm sure you'll get good news, but if you get something scary pray about it and have faith and confidence it will be fixed!

Answer

I know how you feel. I feel the exact same! My 10 week & 13 week scans were perfectly fine & all normal. Have my 20 week scan on Thursday & i’ll be 20 weeks 3 days but this is my first baby & I haven’t felt any movement yet...i’m also worried something is going to be wrong!

Answer

Try thinking positive praying that everything goes well! 😊

Answer

I feel the same way. My 20 week appointment is March 12th and everything has been perfect every other appointment but I’m still worried. But I always am. I even had an appointment 3 days ago. Heard the heartbeat. Everything was perfect. But I feel like that worry won’t completely go away for a while. But I’m sure it will get easier. Just try not to stress to much. Everything will be okay!!
