Private scan

I’ve had two private scans (this is my first pregnancy) One at 7 weeks which was amazing. One at 9 weeks which I had some mixed feedback from the sonographer, which has then meant the last two weeks has been horrible as I’m full of anxiety . I’ve got my 12 week scan booked on Friday with the NHS, and hoping all goes well. I think if you’re going for reassurance that you are pregnant then that’s fine. As my midwife said there’s a reason the 12 week scan is at 12 weeks, and it’s because before that not everything can be picked up correctly etc xx

Hey, I had a MMC in May as well found out in a private scan so this time I was so scared going for another private scan but it was the best decision we’ve made! We booked at a different clinic so we didn’t have to go to the same place and we booked it for 8 weeks which was when the baby stopped growing last time so we had the reassurance afterwards that we were the most pregnant we’ve ever been which really helped! When we went for the scan, I told the sonographer straight away that we were really scared because of a previous miscarriage and she was amazing, as soon as she saw the baby and the heartbeat she was quick to tell us everything was ok! It’s definitely a horrible feeling in the build up to going for the scan (ours was evening and we wished we went in the morning) but honestly the relief we felt afterwards was amazing! Good luck for your scan ❤️

I can totally relate. I had a MMC in August which was discovered at a private scan. Since then I’ve been super anxious being pregnant again. I had booked a private scan at a different clinic for the 21st but as I reached 7 weeks last Friday I couldn’t wait and brought it forward (prev baby stopped progressing at 7w) I was also googling every day what the chances were at having another MC as I was unsure whether to have the scan and find out potentially bad news before Christmas but the anxiety either way was killing me so I had my scan on Friday and told the sonographer how I was feeling. As soon as she started scanning she told me straight away everything was looking ok and a heartbeat was visible. It was such a relief 🥲 I hope everything goes ok for you 🩵

Also like the comment above if you do book it go in the morning, mine was midday but even that wait was agonising x

@Jacelyn thank you so much. I booked the earliest one at 10:45. Hoping and praying. Can’t stop googling things xx

Hope it all goes ok! ❤️‍🩹

Aww so glad it’s all ok 🥰
