You can slap me all you want but I couldn't help it!
Firstly can I start this post by saying how totally and utterly fantastic and amazing my husband is. He will do anything to make me happy - even when I have totally and utterly outrageous and unreasonable requests!!!
The wait for my 12 week scan is killing me. Not sure if I posted it yesterday, but I got through to the hospital / midwife team who said I would most likely not get my scan until 13+6 (basically the last day they can do a NT scan). I am 10+6 today so that is potentially another 3 weeks to wait. I just can't do it!!!
After my chat with the midwife team yesterday, I emailed him about how worried I was and how I was struggling with the stress of having to wait for the scan. (Sorry, I do know I'm not the only who has to wait!). I said "I don't suppose you would be amenable to a discussion about another private scan?" (we had one at just over 7 weeks but didn't see baby, only the heartbeart, he was hiding) and he emailed back and said "ring and get an appointment with baby bond ASAP, got to work, speak later"!!! So I tried all day yesterday to get hold of them but no response... finally got through to them this morning and they offered me an appointment on Sunday - so I jumped at the chance and took it. We have a scan on Sunday morning!!!
I know you'll all think I'm nuts for booking another scan, but I just need this for my reassurance. I hope with all my heart that everything is OK and somewhere deep inside me, I kind of do believe it is, but I just couldn't wait another 3 weeks.
Isn't my hubby wonderful to put up with me??? (although he'd never admit it, I'm sure he's looking forward to it loads as well!!!)

I hope everything goes well on Sunday and make sure you let us know how you get on.
Let us know how thrilling it is on Sunday. x
We had an early reassurance scan at 7+4 there. They were good. It was ??95. We found two other places in Fareham, for ??50 (recommended by ladies on here) but a bit too far and we could never get an appointment at a good time with them!

So 3 sleeps till the scan x x x
I had two private scan's as well one at six weks and one at nine weeks then had my 12 week scan a week later at 10 weeks. I was going to cancel the second private scan but dh wanted us to still have it as it was just after the point that we lost our baby in feb, and you know what it was the best money i've ever spent,

Can I ask though, you say 13+6 is the latest for a NT test, do you know what is the earliest? I am booked for mine on 17 October, which by my LMP makes me 12 + 3 but due to my dodgey cycles, I think I will only be about 10 + 4. Is that too early?
thanks xx

mind you, you might be, but just being polite! LOL
Moomin - I'm not sure, I think its 11 weeks? I could be wrong though. The scan we're having is only a dating / reassurance scan though - the NT scans with Baby Bond are more expensive.
Its rubbish though - waiting until the last possible point to do the NT scan! (my hosp. I mean)

I bled non stop for the first 11 weeks of my pregnancy. I had 2 early scans at 6 weeks and 9 weeks which showed the heartbeat but I carried on bleeding so was sooo worried. I then had to wait until 20 WEEKS until my next scan and I was a wreck!
Good luck, sure everything will be fine x
I'm sure he does.
Sending you a big hug xxxxxxxxxx
