Does uk offer reassurance scan after miscarriage?

Hi after a successful first healthy baby who is now 3 we had a miscarriage ( first in my life ) and now after months we feel ready to try again, however the fear of that happening again is very high , does the uk give reassurance scan for women’s who had previous miscarriage or is it something u have to pay yourself to have please ? Also is the chance to have another miscarriage higher if you had one before ?

Most say 3 which is awful I’ve just had my second and still wouldn’t qualify on the NHS so if I wanted to, I would have to go private.

I think it's very hospital dependent, I had one chemical pregnancy and a mmc and they gave me reassurance scans at 6 & 8 weeks x

What Cara’s saying is correct, I was told that if the gap between them was over a certain period of time they didn’t necessarily have to look into them which I think is appalling. I think it’s only two or more in certain hospitals, but definitely not for one. I would still opt for private scans in between.

We have one child and sadly had a miscarriage in January. The lady told us if we fell pregnant again we’d be able to have a ‘reassurance scan’ at 7 weeks. We then were fortunate to fall pregnant again a few months later and I called the EPU and they told me to do the self referral form. All of the ‘tick’ boxes weren’t actually relevant for us (things like 3 miscarriages or more etc) but on the notes I just said we were told we were offered one when we had our miscarriage and we received notification of our appointment 😊

I’m having an early 7 week scan and I had 2 losses then a healthy pregnancy. I think you’d be advised to pay for a private scan having only had the one loss to be honest hun. However from past experience, it’s worth every penny!

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃
