private scan - when and where?

I went to ultrasound direct at what I thought was 7-8 weeks but turned out I was more like 10 weeks… I personally think it was a great time to see baby for the first time because she looked more like a ‘baby’ I guess? I think 8 weeks would still be a good amount of time, all the best x

I went at 8 weeks to window to the womb and so glad I did! That 12 week scan wait would have been horrible otherwise lol!

I went when I was around 7week to window to the womb and it was really good.

Thanks so much ladies. Can I ask for those who went at 8 weeks was it an abdominal scan or vaginal? Just been looking on some of the websites of the places you went to and some say vaginal which I wasn’t expecting x

If it’s under 10 weeks I think it’s usually vaginal one. Think it’s because there’s no guarantee they’ll be able to see it properly with a normal ultrasound because it’s still so small 👍

I went to universal ultrasound diagnostics they were amazing, friendly, place was clean, sonographers we’re amazing

Mine was vaginal at 10+4 but I think that’s more because I’m a bigger girl!

Mine was vaginal at 8 weeks which was fine and not uncomfortable x

Window to the womb but best to leave to at least 6/7 weeks xx

Also vaginal baby is too small for abdominal xx

I went at 7+4 , had a vaginal scan. Could see the baby and the heartbeat. Was very reassuring

If you had two early losses and you’re worried, you can ask the NHS for an early scan. I did that and as there were complications I also had a private scan at 19 weeks and that was done at window to the womb

I went on Thursday i was 7w 1day had an abdominal scan and could see the baby, yolk sac and heartbeat flickering xx

I went at 8 weeks to “ Meet my miracle”

8 weeks is good, you need to see heartbeat by then if things are ok and baby looks at least a little like a person by then (they look like a gummy bear).

I did 6 weeks at hosp due to previous loses. Have a ten week booked next weekend with ultrasound direct, to ease nerves as sure this will be a mmc

Window to the womb had both babies scans there, just had my gender scan for our second they are really good!

We used window to the womb for privrste scans throughout the pregnancy! They were so nice and we purchased a heartbeat bear each trip to track his heartbeat getting stronger 💖

8 weeks at meet your Miracle, abdominal scan, couldn’t see much but heard the heartbeat and saw something 😂

@Becky I thought I was 7+ 6, measuring at 8+1. They only do abdominal where I went.

Having been there, I know how hard that wait is but if you can hold out til 9/10 weeks, the scan will be so much better. The earlier you go, you could end up not being as far along and scans can be inconclusive and cause more worry. I'm so glad we held out. Luckily, we got our rainbow, but if it was going wrong again, we'd have had a definitive answer then rather than back and forth like the first time. Wishing you the best of luck 🤞🏼🍀

I went to window to the womb for a reassurance scan and it was a wonderful experience. I think 8 week is a really good time to go as I know how hard it is to wait but it’s also not too early. It will be transvaginal x

I went to universal ultrasound diagnostics twice, one at 7 weeks and one at 10 weeks honestly I was blown away how professional they was, they are brand new company but I wouldn’t go else were, chaperones professional, sonographers extremely professional take there time answer any questions you need to ask, photos of baby ( even though my 7 week one was a blob ) and a report to take away with us.
