scan worry-
I got my letter through for my first scan today! its on the 30th oct!
The letter says this is the dating scan where they check how far along i am, measurements, check how many there are in there etc etc and to bring some money if we want a photo.
I am sooo excited, however, I will actually only be 8+3 (if going from my LMP) or 7+2 (if going from ovulation date + 2 weeks) and not the full 12 weeks.
Will this matter??
I knew they were gonna ask me in for a scan early as my cycles were long-ish but I though that it would be about 10 weeks not 8!!
will they be able to see all they need to? and do you think il have to go back again at 12 weeks or (if everything is ok) will they just see me again at 20 weeks?
has anyone else had their "12 week scan" earlier than 12 weeks?
does anyone know if it matters that I wont be exactly 12 weeks?
thanks!!

I would think that they have done it early to try and confirm your dates. If they can't see all they need to then they will probably book you another scan closer to 12 weeks.

I am suprised they have booked you in so early. Mind you it may be nice to see bubs a little early as it is reassuring, but you wont see much!
Good luck

i went for my scan and according to the measurements it said iwas only about 11 and a half weeks so they booked me back in in 4 weeks time - went for my secomd scan and then it showed that my dates were right and instead of being 15 and a ahalf weeks i was actually 16 - but i know things are done differently in scotland to england so again it probably depends on the area where you live
