IVF Viability Scan / Coronavirus worries x

[MinnieOne]

Hi, I’ve just come on to see if anybody could offer any words of advice please? I’m absolutely thrilled to have taken a positive pregnancy test following our first round of ivf treatment, and feel so so lucky for our treatment to have been completed prior to all of the department closures. My viability scan is now approaching at the 7-8 week time and I am filled with anxiety. I just want with all of my heart for this much longed-for little one to be okay. But at the same time I am terrified of picking anything up in the hospital, I haven’t left the house apart from short dog walks for 3 weeks. Has anybody been for a recent scan that can reassure me please? Also, if anybody has experience of a viability scan - if all is well will I be given a photo? This is our first baby, I’ve no idea how it works and I feel nervous about asking on the day because I know that me having a little photo of our baby to share with my husband isn’t on the list of NHS priorities right now. Thanks in advance xx

I'v had a viability scan with two of my children and have been given a scan picture. I know a few people have said the hospitals are being very thorough re hygiene and actually they've gotten more pictures than usual due to dad not being at the scan. That said at 7-8 weeks they're not moving around like the 12 week scan so one picture is fine really. Hope all goes well.

I had a viability scan at 6 weeks pregnant, it was scary at first because they couldn't find him my overies were squashing him I'm 37+4 now I've attached the picture we got 😊 x

Ahh thankyou so much ladies both of your information has put my mind at ease a little. Congratulations on your little one Laura, good luck 🥰 x

Thank you, you too xx

Here's my picture from 7+4 at the EPU, you can even see little arms and legs 💕 I'm now 14+1 😊
