Thank you francois & wish 
And big hug to you francois, it's such a tricky time so remember to be kind to yourself. There are no rules, you feel how you feel, totally normal and understandable.
Completely agree that time feels as if it's going at a snail's pace. I can't believe it's only been two days since I found out, feels like weeks! These early days are the worst as it feels as if everything is literally balancing on a knife edge but I'm really really trying to keep my mind positive......
I find it absolutely scandalous that they won't scan you mummy, I have to say I'm really, really surprised, terrible that you're forced to put your hand in your pocket and go private.......but I guess it's the NHS postcode lottery sadly.
I live in London and because of my previous MCs they offer scans and blood tests from 6 weeks onwards I think and I can get an appointment within 2 or 3 days.
I'm going to wait and ask for my first scan at 7 weeks because I think the baby's heartbeat will be visible by then. No use in being seen too early as I think that will send my stress levels through the roof! Would definitely go privately if it wasn't offered on the NHS though!
