Hi ladies
Congratulations on the scan Poppy!
Lilrojo/Dee - despite having previous miscarriages I was refused a "reassurance" scan. It was only because I started spotting that I got a scan and even then I had to wait 4 days for it. Every health authority is different.
My advice to anyone with a new
particularly after loss is:
Don't go in first Tri. If you must don't read the bleeding/spotting threads. Try and keep to the fun and upbeat ones.
Enjoy every minute. Until you know as a fact otherwise your baby is alive, well and growing. Talk to baby. Tell him/her how much you want them and how much you already love them. It's never too early to bond. Don't worry that your OH is unable to do so at this stage. What matters at the moment is you and the baby.
Don't feel you can't tell people because of your previous loss(es). If the worst happens you might need their support so don't deny yourself that through a fear of something that, statistically, is unlikely to happen.
I'm sure the other ladies on here will have other advice. We are all rooting for you as you did for us in our first Tri. Stay positive, believe you and your baby are both loved and wanted, and enjoy! You're going to have a baby!!!
