Im getting an nhs one at exactly 6 weeks which is on tuesdayš«¶š¼

I'm having private scan on Tuesday (I'll be 7 weeks) I lost my 2nd in October last year at 8 weeks, I just wanna know everything is okay

Iām going to wait it out until my first NHS scan on the advice of my midwife. I had an early scan privately during my last pregnancy and it just made me more anxious. So going to try let go of what I canāt control and hope for the best. Easier said than done having had a miscarriage previously š¬

I had a private scan at 6 weeks š

Found a private scan on groupon for £30, going to go at 8 weeks

Going on Monday, 6+6 due to pregnancy history, and a previous loss at 12 weeks.
Iāve asked to delay from having the scan at exactly 6w so that thereās a clearer image and allowance for a few days either way in terms of dates, which can affect what you can see that early. I didnāt want to have to go twice if they couldnāt see a fetal pole or heartbeat etc.
If it werenāt necessary to be able to get the prescription I need, I actually wouldnāt be going this early at all.

I had an early scan at 6 weeks 3 days with my first son & heard his heart beat but I went today for an early scan thinking I was 6 weeks and Iām only measuring 5 weeks because my cycles still havenāt regulated as Iām only 10 months PP but saw the sack and they are going to rescan me in 2 weeks time xx

Iāll be waiting until 8/9 weeks for a private as thatās when Iāve gone for my previous 3 pregnancies. I had a miscarriage in 2025 at 5wks so Iād prefer to wait a bit closer to 12wks because I would hate to see something and then a bad thing happen rather than never see it and a bad thing happens so I donāt know what they ālookedā like?? I donāt know how else to describe it š
