Hi
I've rang my local early pregnancy clinic today and booked in for my reassurance scan for a week tomorrow (7th may), when I'll be 8 weeks. It is a free trans vaginal scan.
However, my fiancé won't be able to get time off work so has suggested we go private.
I have rang and booked a private appointment for thurs (I'll be 7 weeks 1 day). However, after I've booked it, I have realised that it is a trans abdominal scan.
I have heard that the vaginal scan is more effective, as it's closer to the baby. So now I'm wondering if there's any point in going to the private scan.
Just wondering if anyone has any advice on the situation. I obviously want my fiancé to be there (when I miscarried, he was in work and I had to break the news over the phone. I really don't want to potentially have to do that again). However, I don't want to go the private scan, to be told they cannot see a heartbeat and we will have to wait a week in worry, as it is a stressful time for us anyway.
Thanks :)
