So your 20 week scan didn't go as you thought, what now?

I've been thinking a lot recently about how I felt finding out at 20 weeks that something was different with my baby. I have a lot of lovely friends who are expecting, and have had their 20 week scans, or are due. Admittedly I have been anxious leading up to their scans, and wait for messages about how it went. Rationally I know the chances are slim that anything will be wrong with their little babies, but I can't help but feel that odd pang of anxiousness for them. Initially I felt a bit silly feeling like this, and a little uncertain as to why I was getting that feeling of anxiety wash over me every now and again, knowing that the scans are coming up. I have now put it down to the fact that I just care a lot about my friends and their babies, and I just don't want them to feel that feeling of complete despair that your body has somehow let you down, you have done something wrong, the 'it could be worse' feeling that your just not ready to feel positive about.
