Chimpette - I know exactly how you feel, you need that scan to help you relax - if the NHs don't offer one, is there anywhere local you could go private? When does your local hosp start doing tests? I have been lucky in a way, because after my late mmc at 13 weeks (went for a check up at 17 weeks, after healthy nuchal scan at 12 weeks, to find baby had died 13-14 weeks) my doc refered me to a specialist miscarriage clinic under a professor Quemby who is one of the country's leading mc specialists, so I am in good hands. When I was pg again in sept last year I had scan at 7 weeks and saw HB, went back at 9 weeks and baby had died the day before.
They have now tested me for uNK killer cells, which is a big cause of early MMc, but this was negative. So they have now out me on progesterone supplements twice a day as I had short LP.[/QUOTE]
Hi Dancareoi,
It's true just for peace of mind I think it helps. I told my hubby that if we don't get one then he's going to have to fork out £90 for me to have one.
I'm sorry for what you went through, it must have been heartbreaking to see the 12 week scan perfect and then to suddenly have that taken away... it was bad enough for me going for the 12 week scan and finding out
I started taking baby aspirin after my 2nd MMC, and whether that helped or not, I managed to have my 2nd DS, I've started taken it again this time in the hopes that it might have alittle magic still..
Fingers crossed for us all
