Did anyone go to scan on your own?

[louise85]

Well I have my 1st scan 2nd December doesn't look like FOBs coming and no one else who knows I'm pregnant can get time off to come with me. Its not so much going on my own I'm just scared in case something is wrong, did anyone go on their own?

 

[Kerrie-x]

I went to a few early ones on my own as hubby couldnt get it off work x

 

[purpledahlia]

yeah i have. I went to an early one at 8 weeks alone and then my 12 week one, a friend came with me to 20week one and i paid for a gender one at 23 weeks and went alone. had one today a growth one and my mum came.

 

[louise85]

I don't really mind going alone, I just know I'm gonna see loads of couples there

I'm just hoping everythings ok. Did everything go well with your growth scan? I had to have one last time and they induced me the next day!!

 

[lillprutten]

Have been on all my scans alone (have had 3 US that counts so far).

You'll be okay and there were a few girls on their own when I was sat at my first scan.... I think my 20 week one will be on my own, and I'm less worried after seeing not everyone had partners/friends etc with them the last time.

 

[lillprutten]

It really doesnt bother me to be honest at all.
I rather go alone than kissing someone's ass to get to go with me, maybe I can make one of my sister's go with me on my scan or else I will go alone I dont mind!

 

[purpledahlia]

whenever i went there was hardly anyone around, and not full of couples.

I went to my first one on my own, well to be honest I didnt know I was going to get scanned!! I was in Madrid and I thought I was sent to see a shrink, but it turned out to be a gyno appt and he did a scan there and then!

My Dad came with me to my 2nd one, tho I went in on my own. I prefer it on my own to be honest...

 

[MissE007]

Yup, I went alone aside from an 8 week private scan I had. And I'll be off to my 20 weeks on Tues alone too. Like some others have said, not everyone goes with a partner - in fact when I have been its mostly ladies themselves so don't let it get you down!

I went to a scan at 6 weeks by myself. At that point I did find it a bit much to be in a waiting room with a few couples. At my 12 week scan my best friend came with me, my mum came to my 20 week scan and I went by myself to my rescan at 21 weeks but by that point the couples didn't bother me.

Hi, I was just wondering the same thing actually. It doesn't look like my OH will come to my 20 week scan with me next week, or any other scan for that matter, so was wondering whether it's ok to go on my own or not. I'm not technically single although it's just a matter of time before we make it official!
I wouldn't have even thought about it but at my last midwife appointment she wrote 'unaccompanied' on my notes which made me feel like I had no support. It sounds like lots of you have been on your own in the scans though so I'm going to be strong and go for it.

 

[purpledahlia]

she wrote that? i wouldnt really like it if mine had written that! Tipex it out, hahahahaha

 

[louise85]

Wow, feel so much better now! It's not so much the going on my own that bothers me, it's in case something is wrong, I need positive thinking!!!

Don't know whether to bother sending him a pic after the scan, part of me wants to but then the other part is thinking why should I bother he knows when it is so if he's bothered he can text and ask how it went!

 

[purpledahlia]

I wouldnt bother, if he wants to see them then he should make the effort to ask or come with you,

 

[staycutee]

i went to mine on my own. but i told my mum i was pregnant a few days before 2nd scan and then she and my sister came with me to that. was much nicer with her there. i remember after 1st scan i stood in the toilets after looking at the pics and crying xx

 

[sweetlullaby]

My mum has mainly came with me with for scans its nice having someone else there though ive had a scan on my own and quite liked the fact that it was just me getting to see LO being cheeky and waving and yawning away ....i felt like he/she'd been holding out and then went all action showing off just for my benefit lol ....im soppy Lots of people go on their own though they shouldnt really write anything like "unaccompanied" in your notes thats making assumptions! In the waiting area at my hospital there's usually more ladies sitting on their own than with OH's etc! And sometimes there's no one else there at all!

I wouldnt bother sending FOB a picture he should ask. FOB in my case asked could he borrow one of my scan photo's(10 weeks) to show his mum then he posted it all over bebo and facebook saying "my baby" ...my friends were really annoyed and posted some pretty nasty comments saying "oh wow i didnt know YOU were the pregnant one" and oh i didnt realise the baby was ALL yours" etc because they knew i was upset as i hadnt even put any of them up on facebook or bebo yet and some of my family hadnt seen them and he posted them without asking... I had a rant at him about that lol.

With this pregnancy ive went to them all alone. Apart from 2 where my DD whos 4 came. My 12 week one was a bit embarassing cause the stupid cow of a sonographer said oh u here alone? Made me feel so stupid, so there i was making up some huge lie about why i was alone.

 

[Shireena__x]

2 alone one was a surprise one and was with my friend sat the time

 

[Welshcob]

Have gone on my own too, after a while its not so bad. Hugs
