Today's scan postponed, meh!

[shirlls]

i posted yesterday as I was meant to be going for a private scan today to check things were going ok as I have had a UTI and symptoms have gone. However I woke up this morning feeling really ill with the UTI and been up all night with awful cramps (I thought I was miscarrying but so far no bleeding, fingers x it stays that way).

As the scan was to be an internal scan I wasn't sure if with the UTI it would be advisable as (sorry if tmi!) I was in a lot of pain 'down below', really burning with lots of hot feeling discharge (I'm currently taking a course of antibiotics for it) so I phoned the hospital and explained everything, and the nurse said it was really up to me how I felt but with feeling so crap I asked if could postpone it.

As it is a private hospital, they only do these scans on a Saturday so I now have to wait until next Saturday to find out if everything is ok with my little bean. Part of me wishes I had gone ahead with the scan but another part of me is glad I didn't as feeling so rotten. I just have to hope for the best and trust my body, as I bled with my last 2 mcs, and if I have lost it it isn't a mmc .

TRying to think positive and last until next Sat

oh no. You poor thing! Where abouts are you? Could you try another private centre once you feel better and before saturday? Or are you entitled to a free check up scan?

If you have a real UTI they can be extremely painful but if the pain gets worse please visit your doctor. You dont want to end up with a kidney infection.

I am in Glasgow, and I don't think I can see another private clinic before Saturday as this one is only place I know of. Also, I have a Groupon voucher for this clinic which I had originally got for testing after my 2 mcs but then I found out I was pregnant. The clinic agreed I could use the voucher towards this scan when I explained my situation to them, and as OH is out of work at the moment, another private clinic would probably be too expensive for us at the moment.

I don't think I can get another free scan as it has only been 2 weeks since last one, but I will see how things go in a few days and if I feel I really need to get seen I'll phone the EPU and try to get seen.

The UTI seems to be lifting a little thankfully, it definitely isn't as bad as yesterday anyway . I finish the course of anti-biotics at the end of this week so if still no better will see my doctor.

Hope you are keeping well
