I've booked my early scan!
Feeling so excited now. Booked my early scan for 9th Sept. I don't think I will really believe it until I see it on the screen - it can't come soon enough!!
Anyone else having one?

No but I've booked first docs appointment now. They're usually not very quick so wasn't expecting to get one for a week or 2 but they're seeing me Monday. Then all will become a bit clearer I guess as to what process is.
Excited for your early scan x
7 + 4, I just want to make sure everything is ok.

How did it go mtbchick?
Can you get an early scan on the NHS or do you have to do it privately? x
i havent booked an early scan, but im so excited for my first antenatal appointment on Friday. over the moon that i'm pregnant but i dont think it'll sink in properly till i see it on my 12 week scan x
Awww Good luck... its so lovely to have an early scan and the difference at 12 weeks is unbelievable.
I had one through NHS with DS and Id had previous miscarriages and was anxious. It helped my anxiety... wondering if they will do me one this time... i will ask when I go to see GP next week x
My GP told me that he would refer me for an early scan this time as I have had two mc's. My midwife told me THAT I HAD ONLY HAD TWO so it was highly unlikely that I would be allowed a scan.
EPAC have said that if they have room they will scan me at 7.5 to 8 weeks. If they won't I will get GP to refer me direct.
I started bleeding the last week but MW wasn't interested as it was too early to do anything. If this pregnancy does progress we won't be seeing eye to eye! x
Hope you manage to get a bit more support as the pregnancy goes on x
I have only spoken to her twice - and twice she has had me in tears! First was with above comment and second time was after I told her I was bleeding she said that she would phone me at 8 weeks to arrange the booking in appointment IF I WAS STILL PREGNANT! Cheers love just what I want to hear when I am crapping my pants about losing the baby! x
But yes heres to hoping that she turns out to be nice really
My in-laws are both GP's and told me this weekend (when I was having pains and bleeding) to just think of it as a late period. Just a bunch of cells at this stage.... Jeez!
The epu this morning said they were full and to do a pregnancy test in a week's time... Nice! My own GP was lovely though and he referred me to the epu himself and the scan confirmed.all is well.
Some midwives can be very stern but I think they tend to soften towards you the further along you become in your pregnancy, whether that's because they get to know you a bit more I don't know.
Hope your midwife thaws out for you, nothing worse than having a miserable cow prodding you tummy and taking your blood!!!
@anxiousmummy I'm so sorry you are having a tough time. How many weeks are you? (sorry if you have already said and I missed it)
The one thing I'm a little worried about is if they have to do a vaginal US. Are they safe to have so early on. I'll be 7 weeks when I go for the scan. Xx
I'm hoping your ok and sending you lots of love! Xx
I have my 3rd scan on 30th Aug.
Anxiousmummy I hope you are okay xxx
