Hi all, I have just found out I'm pregnant for the first time (not planned but very much wanted) & I am now absolutely terrified. I am potentially 9 - 12 weeks & have been smoking & drinking (I was away for 2 weeks over Christmas & drank every night) & not taking folic acid, etc pretty much all the way through. I found out Tuesday & quit smoking immediately & bought the folic acid but I feel it's too late & I have had a missed miscarriage or my baby will have a serious disability. I am imagining the worse & not even thinking about actually having the baby because I'm convinced it won't happen. I am seeing the midwife on Tuesday 03rd... do you think she will give me a scan appointment? I am considering going private for an early scan as I'm freaking out. I have already had my bloods done at the doctors (that's how I found out - 3 pregnancy tests said negative over 3 week period) so what will that be able to tell her? Do you recommend an early scan? I think I just need a bit of guidance from somebody
