I have a scan at 5/6 weeks and another at 12 weeks and then they move to the normal scans after that but with this pregnancy because of baby A appearing to have issues withthe head, stomach and heart they are scaning me every 4 weeks. I am surprised they are making you wait until the 12 week scan. Are you under a midwife yet? If so could you ring them and ask if it is possible for them to ring the hospital and get your scan brought forward. Most hospitals are happy to do this in the case of this being a pregnanct after a loss especially if the loss was close to the pregnancy happening. Good luck and I hope you can get your brought forward

I'm having one done at 7wks and if all is ok then i wouldnt imagine i'll get another one until my 12wk scan then 20wk.

However, i may get one done private 9/10 wks if the NHS wont oblige.

Good luckx

i had a scan last week at epu who was great! but baby was great so they dont need to scan me again....
but i constantly have really bad cramps and it just makes me worries so much, i caved and booked another scan for thurs costing another £60. it makes me feel reassured, even if its only short lived.
but next week i should be getting a doppler so then if i can find babies hb then i think my scan obsessions will go and then will be happy with hearing babies hb.
i know i probably seem obsessive but i just cant stop the worrying

I was so worried my pregnancy was going to go wrong again and frequently caved into a reasuring private scan. I now have a healthy 7 month old daughter. It's the best £60.00 you could ever spend.

Totally agree, if scans help then just go for it (as long as you don't totally break the bank!) Some places may do a deal if you book a few at once - in the current recession it could even be worth haggling!

I had a private scan at 10wks as i had a mmc last year so wanted to check bubs was still in there. Had hospital scan at 11wks and everything was fine but i just cant relax. I know i have got passed the last pg but i've had to book another private scan for tomorrow just to put my mind at rest. I know they aren't cheap but to me it's worth every penny just so i can see my bubs.
Soooo scared abouth tomorrow though, i always get like this just before a scan and always fear the worst! Why do i do this to myself????? xxx

i think many of us do the same, i know i am, i have had a scan every week since 5 weeks. 5 week and 6 week scans were private, 7 week in hospital with pain, 8 week scan as a follow up as still in pain, and then another private scan yesterday at 9+6.
my OH completely understands but spending alot of money on scans is hard when we have a wedding, house and baby to spend on. i like you just feel so reasured. im now trying to set myself goals, something me and OH agreed on, so 11 days till my dating scan, and thatll be at 11+6 i think, and then we are going to book a 3d scan for 16-17 weeks, so thats another goal and then the next one will be 20 week scan.
good luck for 2moro! will be keeping my fingers crossed for you xxx

I know what you mean about trying to save, we have a wedding jar that hasn't had anything put in it for a while! DF and me have set ourselves at goal too. Think that's a good idea. Once we have had the scan tomorrow and everything is fine we wont have another one till 16/17 weeks. Hopefully once we can get passed that stage i think we may begin to relax abit.
I just feel that unless you think there is a problem the wait inbetween hospital scans is far too long. Especially if you've had a mc before. All you do is worry.
Will hopefully have good news tomorrow and a new pic of bubs to put on! lol. I'm really glad i found this sight! xxxx
