Hi Emma

I reckon its perfectly normal. I was very very nervous before mine. So was hubby, in fact I think he was worse than me, he hardly spoke while we were in the waiting room and he looked white as a sheet!

Our sonographer said it was amazing how many people were excited about the 20 week scan and just wanted to find out what the sex was but at the end of the day, the reason for it is to check for abnormalities so its perfectly normal to be anxious.

Providing that everything is okay, and I'm sure it will be because you've already had the extra scans, then by tomorrow you will be able to relax. It was after the 20 week scan that I really felt like I could enjoy being pregnant.

Will be thinking of you anyway hun, you muct come back tomorrow and let us know how you got on 🙂

I was really nervous too, I think it is normal. I know lots of non-diabetic people who were nervous as well.
 
hi scan went well everything developing normal was in there for over an hour cos the baby was wriggling so much couldnt look closely at organs etc ha ha very active. So glad went ok can enjoy now got another scan at 28 weeks.
Had my hba1c results to 6.8%.
 
Brilliant news! So glad you can relax and start enjoying it now. My little one was the same, took ages for the sonographer to get everything she needed cos baby was being an awkward little thing! Had to get up and keep jiggling my bump to get it change position!

Same at 26 week scan, wriggling away and kept kicking the probe so she took ages to get all the measurements 🙂
 
its so funny tho innit at least we know they are healthy and active ha ha you aint got long left now Mrs Clh excited??????
