Early scan after bad previous experience?

Question

So...am currently 5+6 weeks pregnant. I got pregnant in March 2014 & had early scan at 8 weeks (Apr 9th) as I was going on holiday. Ended up having multiple scans, cancelled holiday, eventually confirmed MMC then d&c in May 2014. Those 5 weeks between first scan & d&c were awful :( This time I really want to wait as long as possible before getting a scan, but I would also prefer not to go into Christmas (guests, family time etc) not knowing if everything is okay. We have not told anyone yet. I will be 8 weeks just before Christmas. What would you do?

Answer

My midwife says ultrasounds after a miscarriage are very dangerous at such an early stage.

Answer

I'm in the same boat. :(

Answer

Me too.. 5+4 today.. First appt with gp on Friday and all I want to convince him is to get me a scan before Christmas.. My mmc was last year and found out on 16th dec 13 on my first scan.. Part of me thinks why go for a scan cos I'm terrified it's going to be d same again and I will be crushed.. My SO took a long time to recover too last time.. But again I think a scan tells me if there's definitely a baby or not.. So painful xx
