Early private scan..

[Khadijah-x]

Evening everyone

I am 5 weeks and 4 days (nearly 5 counting down to midnight ). My previous losses were at 8 weeks and MMC at 12 weeks. I have booked a scan for next week (7 weeks) to make me feel more at ease, I'm not sure why as my losses were past that gestation. I just feel seeing the HB and knowing all is well will relax me some what from the worry.

Anyone else had a scan before their loss gestations that put their mind at rest?

I didn't have one before my losses gestation but I did have a scan at 7 weeks with my current pregnancy (both my losses were at 6 weeks). I remember feeling so worried that they would find a problem and my pregnancy wouldn't be viable. But there he was a little blob on the screen with a healthy heartbeat. I was so relieved and so happy!

I kind have wished I would have booked one after my previous loss gestation but I am hoping to get one of those out of the consultant I have had alot of period cramping and it has worried me. I know seeing a little HB flickering away will put my mind at ease some what.

Thank you

I have an early scan booked on Friday (will be 6w6d from LMP although cycle average is 30 days). I had a MC at 6 1/2 weeks in September and I had one at 5 1/2 weeks before my little boy (who is now 2).

I am petrified. I have had my HCG levels checked:

4w6d = 1046
5d4d = 8445

So think those are ok, but I am still so scared there will be a problem. This week seems to be taking forever!

Thank you and sorry for your losses.

I think it was the period type cramping that sparked me into booking an earlier scan. I had 2 losses at 8 and half weeks and my dating scan is at 10 weeks 6 days so not too far apart. I have brought a doppler to hopefully be able to find the HB after 9 weeks and look forward to my dating scan rather than sheer dread!

I haven't had my HCG levels checked, do they do those as standard?

I don't think they check them as standard. I went to speak to my GP about how I am feeling very anxious and I asked to have them done to provide a little peace of mind, which it did for all of a minute and then I started worrying again.

I think that is my personality though which really doesn't help!

Just hoping the next few days fly by and my scan comes around quickly.

Ahh I see I am feeling OK about things progressing normally as my losses weren't until after 8 weeks. So Itl be from 7 weeks till my dating scan where I am on the total edge!!

Everything will be great for us ♡
