Really tempted to book an early scan~ advice please

[Wudluvanuva1]

I'd talked myself into just waiting till 12 weeks but i'm so bloated i look a few months pregnant already people are gonna guess soon & i want to be able to tell people not to have people talking about me Does that make sense?
I swear my sil keeps looking at me funny but i'm probably being paranoid?
But i'd want to have a scan before telling people?
I even brought maternity leggings today as everything else is just digging into me

So if i do book an early scan when's best to get it?
I want to try & avoid having an internal one & want to have the best chance of seeing the heartbeat so would 8 weeks be best?
If i can hide it for another 3 wks lol? x

depends on if you are overweight or not.. honestly if you are not maybe 8 weeks but probably closer to 10

I'm not over weight just an average size 8-10 hence why i can't hide it lol & third baby so it all just hangs out ha ha!
I think if i wait till 10 i may aswell just hang on till 12 x

then I would think 8 weeks should do if your not overweight... maybe even sooner.. some girls in the april sweet peas had early scans at 6 or 7 weeks not internal

Just posted this on the other thread. Go around 8 weeks. I was put back over a week today and now I'm panicking as there was no heartbeat. She said everything else looked good and not to worry as it can happen quite often but of course I still feel like I've lost the baby already. I still go again early if I have another baby as I like to know but I'll be going at 8 weeks next time.

Awww hunnie I say go at 8 weeks if you are too excited to wait, I was totally considering paying for one too had I not had to get one on Monday. The hubs says its typical that a child of ours just wants its picture taken as early as possible so it does it in a little flurry of drama ) hug sn hugs XX

my second 6 week scan was abdominal, first was transvaginal

i suggest waiting 8 weeks though, the change is a dramatic difference in just those two weeks. You should definitely see something by week 8, so transvaginal shouldn't be needed..

I'm classed as morbidly obese and I didn't have to have an internal scan at 6w6d (thought I was 7w4d according to lmp)... it was amazing and I'd highly recommend it. x
