I know it's probably my anxiety but it's very hard not to listen when I'm having these horrible thoughts day and night 
Thursday isn’t too long to wait, the anxiety before the 12 week scan is intense. It’s very normal to feel like that, I think most people do.Have my 12-week scan on Thursday. I'm very nervous that there is going to be something wrong, keep having horrible dreams about it
sorry to hear this, with my first pregnancy i made my self ill the whole way with anxiety. The perinatal mental heath team were great, i got a referral via the midwife. I think everyone gets a degree of anxiety before things like this but definitely help available if you think it feels worse than what would be considered normalHave my 12-week scan on Thursday. I'm very nervous that there is going to be something wrong, keep having horrible dreams about it
good luck on the scan i am sure all is ok x
It’s bizarre I actually cannot remember what I used for my hospital bag 2 years ago. I think I also used a wheeled cabin bag. Packing cubes are a yes. I also packed a back up bag and left it in the car boot; with extra nappies, vests, extra pants etc so if I needed to stay longer didn’t have to rely on husband to rifle through my drawers to find what ones I want!
I was the same, nightmares and anxiety and blood pressure through the roof. I know saying "everything will be fine" is kind of pointless when you're at this point of anxiety. What will be, will be. I'm sure you have a perfectly healthy little bean in there, and I hope you get some relief when you see said bean on the screen.Have my 12-week scan on Thursday.

I don't even know where to start. How far along were most of you when you packed it?about 35 with first, didn’t even use 90% of the stuff in itThinking about packing the hospital bag gives me so much anxiety
Better to be over prepared than under preparedabout 35 with first, didn’t even use 90% of the stuff in it
I’m 31 weeks now but just received my glamorous order of disposable knickers, maternity pads and nipple cream from Amazon so going to start getting things together now. Can’t remember when I packed in my first pregnancy. Doesn’t do any harm to get it ready handy.Thinking about packing the hospital bag gives me so much anxiety
This is exactly what I did and it worked perfectly for me. In my case I had baby’s first outfit and a nappy and we left her proper bag in the car until she arrived to save carting everything from room to room
I had such a bad time with my first because so many services weren't available due to the pandemic, I think I'm worried that I'll end up like I did before. Think it doesn't help being an old fart, and overweight, and being reminded of both at every opportunity.sorry to hear this, with my first pregnancy i made my self ill the whole way with anxiety.

my son is almost 2 and most services were back to normal so i think you should be ok now! I used to get told I’m underweight so i used to ask what their bmi was
usually shuts them up.xdon’t think i even used the hair brushI packed so much in my own bag with my first pregnancy. I only ended up using my hairbrush and nighties
x I packed into two small cabin sized suitcases, one for me and one for the baby. I figure you won’t regret having too much, it’s not a hardship to wheel it to your bedside (well, it might have been for him, but who cares)I had a little wheelie case, baby’s stuff in her changing rucksack and then a bag for life full of snacks
I’m a serious overpacker but ended up actually using most of what I took for myself and Mr Rita had to bring me more stuff as I had to stay in for a weekFirst I think like 37 weeks and 39 +3/4 with 2nd cos I got my section at 39+5Thinking about packing the hospital bag gives me so much anxiety
