Anatomy Scan

[AbbeyMorrison2121]

Has anyone had their anatomy scan yet? I'm 17 weeks now. I went in for a gender scan at 16 weeks and everything looked good. But after googling and seeing a bunch of horrible posts I'm panicking about the anatomy scan and still have 4 weeks left till I get it. I'm getting it done at 21 weeks. I pushed it a week and a half later because my boyfriend wanted to be here. I'm just worried that something will be horribly wrong.

I am sure that everything will be fine.  There is a possibility of something being "wrong" with any pregnancy, but the idea of the anatomy scan is to prepare for something in the event that there is an issue so that the doctors can provide the best possible care for you both.  Even if there is an issue, the doctors will be able to do their job and help ensure a healthy mom and baby.  Try not to stress it.

Well they look a t everything. I'm worried there will be a heart defect or something wrong with growth or brain issues or kidney problems. I have no idea. I was excited for this appointment and now I'm just nervous. Worried something will be wrong.
