I've been posting here probably too much recently so sorry for being annoying....but my 20 week scan is at 2:30 and I'm suddenly in melt down mode.. Terrified that something will be wrong. But that's normal feelings, right?

It's normal! try to calm your thoughts by thinking of something else - whatever relaxing visualisation comes to mind. I was very anxious in pregnancy but resolutely banished the thoughts when they popped up. Anxiety can become a habit, and you have to practise controlling it, for your own sake. The chances are, overwhelmingly, that your pregnancy is progressing well. My DD is now 20mo and perfect. Enjoy seeing your little one

I know, I was always just desperate for the heartbeat, at every MW appt. Deep breaths are good. Is this your first? can you feel him or her move?
Oh, are you going to find out the gender today if poss?

Anxiety utterly understandable after your miscarriage 
Trying to remember when I felt reliable movement with DD, probably after the 20 week scan. I bet what you think is gas is flutters though.

Good luck! You'll be fine though, I was extremely nervous before every scan with each one of my babies (I've had three DCs). It's perfectly normal, but also lovely to see your baby on the screen. He or she will have grown lots since your 12 week scan

Are you finding out the sex of the baby?
