So no EPU, no private scan. Just waiting for that 12 week scan and hoping for the best in the meantime.

I had an early miscarriage so with my next pregnancy I had multiple scans before and after 12 weeks

I had my first scan at 10 weeks, I couldn’t wait until 12 I was far too anxious. I think overall I had about 10 private scans throughout my pregnancy x

First baby I had a private one at 9 weeks. Second we waited until our 12 weeks.

I have had a confirmation scan at 6-7weeks but it doesn’t entail a detailed report at all, just a check that there is a viable pregnancy

Waited until 12 weeks and only had another scan at 20. Never paid for any more but it does seem to take forever to wait 😅

I've always went to the EPU to have an early scan just to insure the baby was in the womb with a heartbeat. It was always an internal scan

Most people in the UK NHS patients are only offered 2 scans at 12 and 20 weeks

My OB does an initial ultrasound at 8w to confirm pregnancy then if nothing is wrong throughout the weeks, I dont get another until 20w.. then we do a growth scan at 32w, then birth...
