First trimester (& first pregnancy) anxiety

Hey! Does anyone have any advice as to how to manage the nerves? I’m due 8th December and am so paranoid about everything. I know in the UK we cannot get betas done if we’re low risk and it’s actually hard to find places privately that’ll test (just to check progression)! I also am going to go crazy waiting for 12wks for first scan. Anyone ever had any before then privately, or considering going private for say an 9/10 week scan? ❤️

I completely understand! I kept testing with at home tests until I got a dye stealer (just to see the progression as the line got darker). I then went for a private scan around 9 weeks just to break up the wait a little bit and give me some peace of mind

Totally get this! I’m due on the 3rd December ish and I have a private scan next week for some reassurance

I just took one day at a time but I do remember the pure fear and anxiety I had waiting for first scans etc, sometimes private scans make your anxiety worse but it's down to the individual 🩷

hey chica - hope you are well. i’m due dec 4th and just booked for a reassurance scan at ABC4D x

Hey! I'm due Dec 7th and totally feel you with the anxiety. We have booked an early scan for 7weeks which will be Easter Sunday just to help me with some of the anxiety x

Hey, second pregnancy here and I’ve booked an early reassurance scan at 7w and I did the same in my first pregnancy. It was very reassuring first time so hopefully it will be this time around too.

Totally get this! Not sure I can wait until 12 weeks to check everything. I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks back in November, so also considering an early scan to ease the anxiety. Let us know what you decide to do x
