Reasurance

I went for another private one at 9 weeks, no way I could wait until 12 weeks. Also had one at 16 weeks too. After 8 years of trying I was too anxious not to

Honestly I would say the stress isnt worth it and if its financially viable to get another scan go for it. If somethings wrong its wrong but if its not then its just so so so worth that peace of mind. I had a 7 week a 12 week a 17 week and a 20 week obviously 2 were private because waiting that long each time was just not something I could cope with. A friend of mine was having a scan every week from 7 weeks to 12 because she had had a few miscarriages. Sometimes no matter what people tell you or how you talk to yourself knowing is the only way to get rid of that worry. Look at it this way you either worry there might be something wrong at the scan you book..uou go everything is fine and youre relieved or you worry that something is wrong and dont book the scan and just worry until your nhs scan. Its obviously completely your choice and worrying is normal but trying to keep calm is definitely a difficult endeavour when pregnant so however you can make it easier on you id take the opportunity.

Also just to say that it is very normal for symptoms to come and go, I had barely any in the first trimester really, which in a way made me more anxious!

I had a 6 week scan, 12 week scan, 16 week scan & just got a date for my 20 week scan. I feel like the private scans in between waiting really helped! Have you tried journaling , speaking to family & friends. It’s hard not to worry but you aren’t alone ! Find something to help release your emotions & if you’re financially able book scans to ease your mind 💗 it’s normal to feel symptoms one day and not so much the next just because symptoms aren’t there doesn’t mean there’s something automatically wrong. Reach out to professionals if you feel like you need that extra support xx

Go for another scan honestly if you can go do go

If you can afford it, go for a private scan. I was exactly the same with my 3 year old as I was pregnant with him after losing my first baby at 27 weeks (placental abruption) but I think sometimes it is a mind over matter and overthinking is a nightmare when pregnant! X
