Would you go for private ultrasound?

Question

Scheduled with my OB at 11 weeks, which I know is normal. I could be seen at 10 weeks, but I actually will be on vacation! Should I try to get a private ultrasound before vacation? If it’s reassuring, I know I’ll feel better on my trip. But if it has bad news, I’ll probably worry my whole trip… (or maybe would need to cancel?). What would you do?

Answer

I wouldn’t. But I don’t fear miscarriage. I don’t put that anxious energy out into the universe. I’d enjoy my trip and wait for my appointment.

Answer

From past experience with my first, I chose not to be seen until after my birthday. Knowing I was pregnant was enough for me to enjoy my birthday festivities. Unless you have reason to worry such as previous miscarriage or something of the sort then I would say get checked for peace of mind. But if you tested positive and there’s no complications or anything, go enjoy that trip! The doctor will be there when you get back.

Answer

I prob would’ve pushed it off. The only reason I got an early ultrasound is because my last period was July 24th and I tested positive in October. So I had no idea how far along I actually was, especially since I had a negative and an inconclusive test in September.
