Early scans

I was the same so I had an early scan at 6 weeks. You couldn’t see much but I saw the little flicker of a heartbeat. It really made me feel better

Not in this group- I’m 36 weeks with 2nd. I’ve had early scans with both just to make me feel happier and know there’s a baby in there, deffo recommend if you’re feeling like this x

I had an early scan with my 1st and have booked in for one this time round too. It deffo eases anxiety and also I find the private scans a much nicer experience than NHS x

It can be reassuring for most women - obviously nothing can rule out the worst happening but I’d say if your anxiety is sky high that in itself isn’t very healthy x

You can and they can be lovely if all is well. But remember that the majority of these places aren't medical facilities so if it's bad news they're not necessarily going to handle it in the best way. Also, things being ok at 8, 10, 16 or whatever weeks only shows you a snapshot of that exact moment. It doesn't mean nothing will go wrong. So as long as you're prepared for that then I'd say do it. We had early scans with both our kids and have been lucky that everything was fine.

I had my first scan at 6weeks & 1 day, absolutely the magical thing to see, saw the heartbeat 💗 most certainly worth getting an early scan.

It will give you a lot of reassurance. I had an early scan thinking I was 7 weeks and I was between 5/6 and all they saw was a yolk sac. I’ve to go back on Wednesday to make sure there is a fetal pole and heart beat x

It doesn’t hurt to get an early scan x if it will make you feel more relaxed you should 100% get one x i had an early scan with all my babies i could never wait for 12 weeks x

I was the same with my first and I had a private scan at 7 and 9 weeks. I’m now 7 weeks with my second baby and I’m going for a scan today. If you have anxiety like me then there’s no harm in reassuring yourself ♥️

With my first pregnancy I had an early scan at 7 weeks as I was so anxious about a MC but I found it only really eased my anxiety for about a day and then I went back to be anxious about losing the baby again! Decided not to have early scan this time, what will be will be. Good luck with whatever you decide ❤️
