Early scan or not?!

Hi Charlotte! I had an early scan at 7+1 and saw baby and heartbeat, it put my mind at rest for that day but the anxiety comes quickly rolling back, and now I want one every week but I know that will increase my anxiety too! I think it’s personal preference and completely up to you! X
I know what you mean. We had a scan at 8.5 weeks with a strong heartbeat, but then lost our baby just before the 12 weeks scan. But this time round I would get an early scan again as I’d rather know if something was wrong than have to wait til 12 weeks x
Did they see anything of concern at your 8.5 week scan? It’s all such an anxious time isn’t it x
@Hannah we had the exact same, although we found out at the 12 week scan that it was a missed miscarriage. It was so hard as I thought we’d got away with it. X
I saw my first baby’s heart beat, so to be honest it doesn’t really offer me much affirmation. We had our scan at 6+4 due to some light spotting and we lost it 5 days later. Honestly, I don’t know what to do for the best at the moment! I’m quite happy in this blissful state of not knowing and judging on the constant nausea (which I didn’t get last time)… but I know I’ve got to face it at some point!
