Going for my first scan tomorrow!
hey mommyof 5!
i have also sadly had a couple of m/c and just wondering if you got your scan on the nhs, or private? also do you recommend going that early? will you see much? how many scans before 12 weeks will you have?? sorry for so many questions im just so nervous and need advise!! i phoned a private clinic today and can get a scan at 7+4 weeks? what do you think?
all the best for your scan- enjoy every second! x x x

No problem I dont mind answering questions at all. My first scan tomorrow is being done by my infertility doc to make sure the pregnancy is not in the tubes (because they have me on progesterone) my second scan is the 19th to make sure there is a heart beat and that the baby is growing. My net scan will be around 10 weeks to screen for down syndrome (I had a daughter with down syndrome) Then after that I will have a few extra scans here and there and I have to see a specialist for all my scans, since my daughter had heart problems they will monitor the heart closely. If you want to spend the money than I would go, it will give you peace of mind to see a heart beat, and they should be able to see a heart beat if your dates are correct. So I think in total before 12 weeks I will have 5 to 6 scans. But this is because I have so much history. When does your doctor normally do a scan? Have you asked them about doing an early ultrasound to see the heart? Might be worth an ask. Are you on any meds to sustain the pregnancy?
