Hi, I'm 8 weeks pregnant and desperately would like to get an early pregnancy scan. Waiting until…

I had an early scan at Babybond at 8 weeks!

The only thing you could do is pay for a private scan, if they do early ones im not sure as i havent had one before X

@zoeleigh, did it make you feel happy after you've seen your baby? I found vouchers at groupon and will purchase those. It's definitely worth it for me.

Yeah it did as I'd had miscarriages previously and the hospital didn't want to send me for a scan before 12 weeks. This was my 8 week scan but I recently had my 12 week one and the difference is amazing haha

I'd say its better to wait :) you'll be able to see more at 12 weeks anyway xx

I've had one at 8 weeks as I was really desperate too, but to be honest I wish I waited a bit as it didn't look too human yet, but seeing the heartbeat and seeing it move was priceless :)

We had to have an emergency early pregnancy scan on the nhs, due to bleeding and cramps, as they thought it may have been ectopic. Different situation I understand but was a mega relief to see him even though he was just a tiny little dot @ 7 weeks :) x

I had one a 6 weeks with both as they thought I was having an ectopic pregnancy

I had one at the hospital at 9 weeks but I was severely poorly. You don't get to see much, but if the reassurance is going to help put your mind at ease, mummy needs to be chilled as possible. You can do early scans privately. Check what those vouchers cover and research the offering clinic itself. Xx

i did cuz i lost 2 before this one. the hosp did it for us. with the 2nd baby we lost we paid for one ourselves which is how we found out it had died 😢. but im 37+1 now and cant wait x

Hello all you lovely ladies! I'm overwhelmed by the response from you all. Thank you for the answers. I'm sad to hear, why most of you had an early scan. I will go and get mine privately now, because I know that I will be more relaxed when I see the baby. Sending you all lots of love and strength in such an emotional time. Xx
