By my calculations I'm 9 weeks pregnant, and I'm very anxious about it, as I'm terrified of needles, medical treatment etc, so it's all proving to be very stressful.
I've got my midwife appointment on Thursday, and we've chatted and they may do bloods then and there, they may not, depending on how I'm feeling, but I'm thinking if I've already seen there's a baby in there, through a scan, it may give me the push I need.
I'm not feeling at all emotionally connected to this pregnancy - I should care, or be excited or something, but I'm not. Again, if I can see it, then I'm hoping I might start to feel more connected.
Also, more trivially, I want to do calendars for the in laws with family photos on there, and if I get an early scan, I can include the bump on there, which I think will be a nice way to announce it. If I misscarry later, then I'll just bin the calendars. If we wait until my scan which won't be until mid December, it'll be too late.
I'd also like if possible to be able tiki look for any absolute bargains on black Friday. Obviously I'll have to check the returns policy etc, but I know I'd be tempted to go for a bargain.
I'm somewhere tomorrow that I could get a scan for £45 if they have availability. I feel bad that husband wouldn't be there, but I'm very, very tempted...

Would I be silly to get an early scan
