Really need your opinions!!

So I’m 15 weeks tomorrow and my last scan was at 13 weeks I’ve booked a private one tomorrow (my next one is a gender scan at 17 weeks) but it’s more for reassurance due to previous losses I’m really scared I’ve had a loss even tho my previous ones were early on like at six weeks. Me and my partner are really struggling to come to an agreement on whether I should go the private scan or not he does understand my concerns but also told me baby is probably fine and I need to relax - I think it’s more to protect myself ? Like I’d rather know now something is wrong idk whether to go or not x

I understand the concerns. I've had 2 ectopic pregnancies and a miscarriage now I'm struggling to enjoy being pregnant. Personally, scan reassurance doesn't last for me. My son was my second pregnancy following my 1st ectopic, and I worried the whole pregnancy, though when I could feel him moving, I relaxed slightly. Sending you all the luck for peace and reassurance in your pregnancy ✨️ x

You can’t put a price on reassurance, if it helps you to relax for the next few weeks I definitely would. We’ve had a few private scans as it’s such an anxious time to go through c

I had a loss and this pregnancy I’m very anxious. I debated the same thing but I’ve had scan 8,11,13,15 weeks and I have one booked for 17 and my 20 one with the hospital.
Once you have a loss it’s hard to relax. I’ve finally started telling people but I can’t bring myself to buy a single thing yet. I decided the scans as anxious as they make me they calm my spiral of worry or negative outcomes. So it’s benefited me but I’m still anxious in between.

yeah that’s my whole issue I think about it being temporary reassurance but I think after it I need to just make peace that everything is ok! Thank you tho for your advice!! It’s just hard like I’ve had three losses before 8 weeks and to even be 15 weeks it’s amazing but I still feel like I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop? It’s so weird because I was really calm for the first trimester despite the losses and now all of a sudden I feel really anxious it’s bizarre xxx

yes!! I think that’s my issue is that I’m in that weird stage where you can’t feel them move yet? So I’m like really struggling to reassure myself!! I think after I do go today to the scan I’ll have to just make peace with it and not book anymore when I feel anxious and start to manage it better thank you so much!!! Xxxx

yeah it’s really anxious isn’t it! It’s bizarre because I had early losses and when I got pregnant this time round I wasn’t that anxious in my first trimester but the last week I’ve become anxious, not sure if it’s cos I’m developing a bump and can’t feel them move yet so I’m like are they ok😂xxx

see this is the weird thing is that my losses were all before 8 weeks and I’ve been under the miscarriage clinic for this one so I also had scans at 6,8 and 10 weeks but I haven’t been anxious once in my first trimester - maybe a bit nervous before I had scans - but it’s like really weird I was calm about it all and even allowed myself to buy some baby grows and now since 13/14 weeks I’ve started to become anxious idk if it’s cos I’m developing a bump and i can’t feel them move it’s such a weird thing I can’t explain it, I deffo feel the anxiety in between that’s me right now!! I hope it gets better for us both xxxx
