Would EPU reassure me?

[Mothership1]

Ok, so I am 6 weeks pregnant (I hope)!
I have a 18mo DS, and had a miscarriage at 6 weeks in march :-(
Anyway .... probably over reacting due to the miscarriage but I just don't feel pregnant. I took 2 tests last week the first was a very faint line, so I re-took a test the following day with a strong positive. I've had mild cramping which I've been assured I just everything stretching ect but no sickness (I had terrible sickness with my DS) no sore boobs ect ect
Would I be totally laughed off the phone if I asked the EPU to scan me? I've heard they can do an internal to listen for baby's heartbeat? Or am I just being over paranoid and just need to relax? I can't sleep thinking about it!
I just keep having horrible thoughts of going for my 12 week scan and it being devastating news :-(

Hi, sorry you are feeling so worried. I got a bit of bleeding at 7 weeks and phoned my EPU very upset, so they agreed for me to come in and get an internal scan, which luckily showed everything was ok (could hear heartbeat and see little picture). I don't know if it's the same in all NHS authorities, but it's worth a try and I'm sure no one would think you were being silly.
Do you also maybe have a private scan studio nearby? We have one in our town (which sees people from all over Scotland) but I don't know how many there are in the UK.
Good luck and hope everything is ok.

Thanks minty, I'm glad everything was ok for you
I know there is an EPU locally as they confirmed my mc in March, I think I will give them a call tomorrow, if they say to just hang on a while and see what happens then I will find a private scan from somewhere
I'm sure I am just over reacting and worrying too much but my mind just won't settle I just feel something is not right
Good luck with your pregnancy

I know exactly how you felt; I couldn't really relax until I got my scan. But I hope you can find some nice things to do / think about too. Will keep you in my thoughts x

Thank you I will let you know how I get on tomorrow x

I had my scan today, it was a bit inconclusive really, there is a sac but from my dates I would be 6 weeks and I'm only showing at 4 so not much to tell, I have to go back in 3 weeks for another scan, in the meantime I will just try and relax x

That's good they could see you so quickly, and that you have another appointment in the calendar.

Be good to yourself and all the best.
