9 weeks, debating an early private scan. What do you do if something is wrong?

As the title says really. I’ve no reason so think anything is wrong, but finding it hard to wait another 3 and a half weeks, especially in the event it’s already not viable (I’ve had a previous early miscarriage)

Really tempted to just pay for an early scan, I know the likelihood of a loss really goes down after seeing a heartbeat. But in the event something has already gone wrong and you’re at a private scan, what do you do? Do you call the EPU and tell them and they scan again? Just feel like I need a contingency plan

Decided to book in the end and have an appointment booked with Window to the Womb tomorrow when I’ll be 10 weeks. I don’t have any indications anything will be wrong, but I’m finding not knowing anything too difficult and can’t wait another almost 3 weeks till my scan date, plus I know people have symptoms even when things are wrong. DH can also come with me which was the clincher. Fingers crossed
