Early Scan

[fairydust1984]

Hello ladies,

I am wondering wether to pay for an early scan i feel so nervouse about waiting till 12 wks and them saying something bad like no herat beat ect ect

i think if i paid for a scan at 7-8 wks it may reassure me and will stop me stressing so much

has anyone had one?

thinking about these as they are all doctors or lectures that do the scan so would be able to tell if something wrong

Well being worried and stressed isn't good for you or baby, so if you think an early scan would put your mind at rest and dont mind paying for it then you should you do it. What does your OH say?

 

[fairydust1984]

dh says what ever i want he is happy, quite easy going and goes with the flow x

 

[frankie707]

That's good! I think you should go for it, sounds like you need to know everything is alright.

 

[fairydust1984]

have you had your scan date yet??

 

[frankie707]

No, had midwife appointment yesterday and she said I should get scan date within a week. Cant wait, hope its soon!!!
Got so many worries and concerns, hope they can be laid to rest at 12 week scan.

I would go for it as 12 weeks is such a long, long wait!

I would def have one if my OH agreed to it!

I had 3 early scans for bleeding and cramps, 1st at 4 weeks and they couldnt see very much just a pregnancy sac an then again at 6 weeks and they seen the baby and its wee heart beating they were both vaginal scans then I had a scan at 8 weeks and 5 days everything was fine. Waiting on my 12 week scan date and I am so nervous about it, I think that if it puts you to ease pay for the scan but I would wait another week xx

I'll definitely be having an early scan once I'm pregnant again. If the midwife wont let me I'll go privately.

i've booked in for when i am eight weeks so just over three weeks to wait and they have done it at half price as i will be going back for a 4d scan at 26-29 weeks yeahhhh love a bargin something to look forward too xx

oooh well done that is a bargain, did you have to sign something to say you will def be back?

I think I might try asking my doc if there is anyway I can get an earlier scan due to the missed MC, just so I can see a heartbeat there. We see the docs first in my area, and you can't see the midwife for booking in till at leagst 10 weeks, so normal scan will end up late, as had D&C at 11 plus 5 last time and no sign of a scan date at that point.

I'm having an early scan on Weds due to missed m/c in Feb as I couldn't wait until my first appt at 12 weeks!

i paid for one coz i literally had no idea how far gone i was and was desparate to know, im glad i had one now because i havent had my nhs scan yet or even my date as my first midwife appt isnt til tues! so VERY glad i paid for one! xxx

 

[fairydust1984]

i think it will be better i would hate to get to scan and them say no hb ect ect at least if anything is wrong you know earlier also i really want to tell my lo but don't want too untill i see a heart beat

3 wks and counting xx

jj as long as everthing is o.k i pay for the two together if anything is wrong or goes wrong they only charge for the first scan xx
