wow! cant believe 100 due in jan! thats great, big welcome to all the new mums!!!

Ive book a private scan for 6th june to check baby is ok, I will be 8 weeks so will be able to see the heartbeat. We lost the last baby at 6 weeks, so i am terrified that will go for this scan and there will be nothing there!

How do u book a private scan? I want to book one too

I found a clinic called 'take a peek', they do scans from 7 weeks up to full term in 2d and 3d. But it is in St Helens near Liverpool.

 

[mellywelly]

Could you not get an early reassurance scan on NHS?

 

[Betheney]

9 days until my scan and i'm so excited!!

My MS is still just awful!!! but i bought some B6 vit tablets as i've heard they help and knock on wood since i took one 7 hours ago my nauseousness has been very minimal

 

[alannadee]

no, when i saw the doctor last week he said that early scans were for people who needed them! And if i had one I would be making other women wait.

 

[mellywelly]

Omg our drs are just full of compassion and caring!

Good luck with your scan, I've got my 8 week scan 2 weeks on Monday.I'm a bit nervous too to say the least!

 

[Poppy84]

When I asked my doc he said he wouldn't refer me for an early scan unless I had pain or bleeding.
I asked him how I go private and he said he didn't know but thought it was a waste of money and I should spend the money on baby things

 

[Poppy84]

I'm actually annoyed because when I had my miscarriage I was told next time I coul have early reassurance scans if I wanted.

Do u mind me asking how much your scan is costing?

yeah my doc said some thing similar, but i just want peace of mind. I had a missed miscarriage last time, and this time i dont want to get to my 12 week scan and be told sorry it died weeks ago. I know there is still s chance it could die between the early scan and the 12 week one, but as i said its just a bit of peace of mind.

£65, which i didnt think was too bad, thought it would be a lot more.

Yeah they are great arnt they!!! Lol

hope your scan goes ok.

 

[Poppy84]

Exactly!
Doctors just don't understand

 

[alannadee]

are you going to loook into getting a scan then? i feel loads better knowing that i have one coming up.

 

[Poppy84]

Yes I'll ask the midwife on Thursday where I can get one done

 

[EmyDra]

I didn't even ask for an early scan and my doctor started ranting about it. 'there's no point because you can't see anything anyway', except I know that's not true cause I see early scans on bnb all the time.
But I have no intention of an early scan, I have no previous losses and I wouldn't like to have a scan and then suffer an MC or something. I'd only go if it was standard.

Doesn't mean I don't enjoy seeing all your early scan pics

I swam up untill 36 weeks with Silas, then my maternity costume started nipping at my boobs and my bits , will be swimming this time too if I get the chance. I was nearly 2 stone under my previous weight before Silas but have gained LOADS already. Getting my diet in gear this week for baba.

 

[Betheney]

My first pregnancy i never got one because we were sure of my dates.

This pregnancy my doctor again said i didn't need one because my dates are accurate so i just told the doctor he has to give me one purely because i want one. I didn't get one last time and it was awful stressing over it, I'm having one anyway and we're going to pretend we don't know my dates. Also if he could refer me to a place that does them for free that would be great. I was just very assertive this time around, it's my baby, my pregnancy and my body so i am in charge not my doctor.

The only thing he said once he gave me the referral was "DON'T book it before 7 weeks you will only cause yourself further stress and it's really too early to measure anything properly"

 

[mellywelly]

Maybe tell your midwife that they said you could have one this time and ask for a referral to the epu. This makes me realise how good my drs are being!

 

[garfie]

Why are the Docs like this? - Don't they understand how nervous/worried we all are

My Doc said she will refer me to the midwife and my first scan will be at 10 weeks

When I see the midwife though I am going to ask for an earlier one as due to age and m/c last year - if not I think we will be going for a private one too.

I have asked for another HCG test next week - at least she is doing that so I only have to stress over the numbers

Hope you are all having a good weekend me hubby and my bloat (4w 5d) are off to a James Bond casino night and I am wearing a gold catsuit
