Early scan on nhs?

Question

Hey UK ladies... Did any of you manage to get an early scan on the nhs? I'm 8w3d and had a private scan at 6w6d and all was fine, but now I'm really worried as I have no symptoms... Even my boobs feel like they've shrunk back to normal size and not painful any more... Seeing the midwife for first appt on sat when I'll be 9w but obviously won't have my normal 12w scan for another 3 weeks... And I don't think I can wait that long to see if my baby is ok... Been missing symptoms for about a week now! Please any advice would be much appriciated 😔

Answer

They won't give you an early scan unless your having pains or experiencing bleeding.. I'm 8weeks&2days and nearly all my symptoms have gone.. Just mention it to your midwife and try not to worry xxx

Answer

I asked for an early scan as miscarried twin back in October and was told that I wasn't eligible for an early scan as hadn't had 2 miscarriages in a row so I feel your pain. I also had the loss of symptoms which did turn out to be a missed miscarriage for me.
I know it's hard but try and stay positive and find things to keep your mind occupied. I've got my booking appt and scan next week and I know I'll be a nervous wreck! Luckily I'm a primary teacher so have 20 6year olds to keep me busy and not think too much about it! Good luck! If you're that worried then phone your midwife unit or NHS24 x

I'm getting mixed views of 'it will be fine, my symptoms disappeared and everything was fine' to 'that's what happened to me and I had a silent miscarriage'... I feel so petrified and helpless at the moment...
