Early scans

I always wait for my 12 week scan from nhs as even private scans can pick up on things but they also said they aren’t medical professionals also, so I don’t scare myself with them, I then book a gender scan at 15/16 weeks depending on the scanning place, as even with the nhs 20 week scan they sometimes can’t find the gender and won’t rebook you if they can’t tell you it as it’s for baby’s health for heart and brain and development, so I avoid waiting it out even longer as Ive been desperate to know what I’m having win both my pregnancies x

My last pregnancy I didn't have an early scan and waited until my 12 NHS scan but this time my anxiety has been terrible so I've booked a private early scan to put my mind at rest

I have had private scans previously but holding out this time as I don't want to create more anxiety, I am struggling at the thought of waiting the whole 13 weeks in my case as I am on holiday on my 12th week 🤦🏼‍♀️but I am determined not to book one and wait 👍🏼 x

I booked an early scan at 8 weeks and it really helped my anxiety. It was lovely to see everything was ok so far and gave me the reassurance I needed.
