I'm really struggling with anxiety about things going wrong, it's taking me a while to believe that I'm pregnant and so scared that things aren't right. Every little ache I get I worry. I'm trying to work out if I'll feel better for booking an early private scan. Kiddy so I know things are ok at this point to keep me going until I see a midwife/ have my 12 week scan. Does anyone have any tips on how to manage the anxiety? Xx

I have really bad anxiety but it’s got better now I’m 18weeks and knowing the stress isn’t good for baby, when I was 10 weeks I went for a private early scan and seeing baby’s strong heart beat and wiggling really helped! I also bought a Doppler, however you need to be really calm with the Doppler as sometimes baby might be hiding and you can’t find the heart beat it doesn’t mean it’s not there, I was about 11 and a half weeks when I was first able to faintly find baby then didn’t find her again till about 13 weeks! Just remind yourself stress is bad lol xx

@xggx, thank you for taking the time to reply. I think I might try book an early scan for 10 weeks too. I lost my first pregnancy between 7-8 weeks so think that's why I'm struggling at the moment xx

I was worried and anxious until I got to see my little one at 12 weeks. I suffer with anxiety anyway and am medicated for it so this on top made it worse.
Would deffo recommend an early scan to put your mind at ease.. once you see little one and see there heartbeat it makes everything easier and puts your mind at rest 😊
Hard to say but try to relax and enjoy it. Less stress is better x
