Only if there is reason to suspect something is wrong, like spotting. You can't self-refer to our EPU, you need a GP or midwife referral. They won't refer me unless there's a problem or if I have a complete hissy fit but I don't want to get myself into a state about it (if you know what I mean). Have managed to convince my DH that its money well spent (well I hope so anyway!). xxx

Where i am you can have a scan at EPU any time from 8 weeks if you have had a previous miscarraige. But you dont get a 12 week scan if you have one of these. I was lucky in a way as had spotting at 6 weeks so couldnt be used as a dating scan so still got my 12week scan. In a way i would have prefered not having the spotting but allowed me to get early scan and dating scan on NHS

So I booked it! Only 2 weeks on Sunday to wait! Then I remembered that DH is away the night before so need to check if he can get back in time for a 10am appointment 
! That's interesting that your consultant recommended 7 weeks hb1, I'm going to follow what you do then as you're obviously being well advised! My dating scan will be at 12-13 weeks at the local health centre, all being well. xxx

Im sure everything will be well for both of you. glad you have booked your scan tripleB. I kept thinking the worse after having missed miscarriage, baby died at 7 didnt realise til 11. I was so scared and worried this time.
Even after seeing my baby at 6 weeks i still worried when it got close to my 12week scan. I cried in the waiting room, and when the sonographer asked me if i was ok, and when i saw my baby. For some reason i found it harder at my 12week scan other than my early scan.
The best thing is to be positive, as being negative stresses you and baby out

You're absolutely right Due, I'm worried stiff but trying to stay positive. I suppose there is nothing we can do about it and what will be will be to a certain extent. Your MMC was exactly the same as mine dates wise - found out at 11 weeks but sac measured 7 weeks. However, they're not sure if there was ever a heartbeat (they think the fetal pole was reabsorbed by my body as it was 4 weeks later) so to see one in a fortnight's time will be fantastic! I'm sure once that is over and all being well, I'll start stressing over the 12 week one! xxx

Yes TBH my 20week scan is on 19th may and im freeking out about that thinking something will be wrong. But i know i have to be positive so i am also. I am also very excited. I think once something has gone wrong once no matter when it happened last time you worry more all the way through the next time. i dont think having 3 bleeds at the start helped as i just freeked out every time.
Aww they never told me that, they just said that baby was 7 weeks and had no heartbeat. TBH its all a bit of a daze.
Im sure you scan will be perfect. its amazing to see how diffrent they are from 6/7 weeks to 12 weeks i couldn't beleive it tbh, so i think i will be shocked when i see the 12-20 week change

Hope all goes well good luck with the scan
ooo all this talk of scans!!! I can have one whenever i like for viability but with my miscarriage i saw a heartbeat at 7+1 and baby died at 7+6 
so i was going to wait until 8 weeks (chance of miscarriage drops a bit after 8 weeks) but if my dates are only a day out i will still worry as i would be at 7+6?!?!? so my DH has said to wait until 9 weeks... but we are on holiday then so i would have to wait until 10 weeks... eeeeek! dont know what to do! xx

When do you go on hol? Could you not have it when your 8+ 2 or +3 or will you be on hol by then. i had my 12 week scan at 11weeks +6 and she said it was just the same as having it at 12 weeks so i would say if you cant have it then i would go for 8 week as you dont want to be worrying until 10 weeks do you? just my advice
good luck with your scan next week fluffy

oooh i can't wait!!! after this scan i get to tell the world that i am preggo! i never got to do that last time, which in the end was good i guess, but i feel like i missed out somehow. it did happen but hardly anyone knew... you know? pleeeeease let the little one be ok, because i've almost convinced myself that this baby is for keeps. i'll be even more devastated than last time if its not the case!!!
