Pros and cons of early scan

Rebecca

I'm 8 weeks 6 days pregnant with our first baby after a long battle with infertility. I've always been anxious but of course this is something new to be anxious about! I am wondering people's opinions on whether to pay for an early viability scan or not? I think it would hopefully put my mind at ease a little as it will be anywhere between 3 and 5 weeks before we have an appointment with hospital for standard 12-14 week scan. Any opinions welcome.
