Private scan advice please

I am driving myself mad with anxiety, I am waiting for my 12 week scan which is on Sunday. I am thinking - do I get another private scan today? I am 12 weeks. I mean I have had scans at 6,8 and 10W 5D. All was fine with the baby, moving around, strong heartbeat. I don’t know why I feel this worried when nothing is wrong. I was a little bit like this with my daughter who was born healthy 4 years ago. Is it just me 😩

As hard as it is I would wait. It isn’t recommended to do them too close together if it isn’t necessary. Mine is Thursday and the wait has been torture, had one at 7+4 and 10+3 and everything was fine, but this feels like a milestone to get to. Statistically seeing a heartbeat at 10+5 the chances of anything going wrong are 0.5% 99.5% chance everything is ok. So just keep thinking that.

I think you're wasting money to do that many scans close together. I'm sure everything will be fine, and you won't change the outcome by paying for more scans. Try and focus on being healthy to help baby be healthy

Awww we’re scan twins I’ve got my 12 week scan on Sunday too, the anxiety is awful isn’t it? And it’s my first which I feel like it adds to it because I don’t know what to expect! I’ll be 12+2

Id wait it out until Sunday its not that far to wait, baby will be fine 🥰 after your 12 week scan you wont get another nhs scan until around 20 weeks so you would be better saving the money until 15-16 week mark

Thank you so much all ❤️ you’ve all given be so much reassurance and @Elena your right it’s better to focus on being healthy over the next few days before the scan. My daughter who is 4 isn’t well at the moment and I think the lack of sleep is adding to the extra worries x
