Fab! Am loving these scan photos. It is amazing how fast they grow. Just can't wait for my early scan. Not for another week and a half! Boo am wishing the time away. Glad u got to see little bean beating away x
I wish I was allowed an early scan. I can't shift the feeling it will all go wrong. But I was told I had a normal miscarriage (in January) I didn't need one.
Anxiousmummy- I was under the impression they were meant to offer you a reassurance scan if you'd had any previous problems, but it appears not from yours and Blue~Stars experiences. That's so unfair. If you're in a position to pay privately they're around 99 pounds here? But you shouldn't have to do that. Big hugs. xx
I think I would be reasurred for five seconds then nervous again, so think a waste of money in that respect. From what I was told when I miscarried I was under the impression I'd get a scan too. Xx
i didnt get a scan just because i had a miscarriage i had a scan because i was in pain and because of my miscarriage in early january they werent wanting to take any risks. i am lucky for the fact i had a scan cause it calmed me a bit but as soon as you see your wee bean on the screen you start worrying all over again! so really its a no win situation. for me i convinced myself there would be nothing there so when i seen my wee one on the screen and its heart beating i was overwhelmed and i may add that i was slightly more worried as it made it so much more real and i wanted it so much more after seeing it! ( not that i didnt want it already cause i dooooo!! ) if you are driving yourself insane then i would say and i know its bad but go to your doctors and tell them your in pain and they will probally most likely give you a scan. i know its bad but its better than driving yourself insane with worry! especially after a miscarriage i think telling a white lie to reassure yourself isnt bad but personally thats just my opinion! in my situation i was generally in pain. xx
I have been in pain - phoned EPAC and spoke to them about it but they said that as I am not bleeding it isn't anything to worry about. And to go to the Drs if it was really bad. But the pain hasn't been really bad - so going with the fact that they think I don't need one - and I would rather that they scanned people who generally need it. Even if I am driving myself insane. xx
I thought fair enough when I told them I was pg. When I phoned to ask about the pain they just weren't interested. I think I'd of been happy for 2 seconds then worrying again. This way though I'm worrying that its good wrong and ill get bad news at 12 week scan. Xx
im petrified about getting bad news at the 12 week scan also! i guess pregnancy is always going to have a little worry in it! if they werent worried about the pain then that must be a good sign! how many weeks are you? xx
