Mama in need of your advice! Please!

Does anyone know if I contact my GP if I would be able to get a early scan for reassurance? Haven’t even told them I’m pregnant yet, I had a miscarriage earlier in the year and petrified of telling anyone or jinxing myself. Nhs calculator says 7weeks based on my last period x

Very unlikely. You would need to pay for a private one

@Slummymummy11
You'd need to have symptoms and your gp would probably just send you to A&E. x

Do you think you're having a miscarriage now or do you just want reassurance that if you are pregnant everything is ok?

At this early stage they might send you for a scan if it's the former but there's nothing they can do. If it's the latter they won't send you for a scan and you'd be putting additional strain on the NHS when they could really do without it. Most midwives are being pulled from normal duties for the vaccination program and there wasn't exactly any slack in the system beforehand.

I can empathise with your nervousness.

I've had 1 miscarriage, 2 pregnancies with bleeding (where I chose to wait and see at home rather than deal with the medical "fuss" which tbh I found as distressing as the MC) and a 3rd pregnancy with no bleeding so far (28 weeks).

My GP referred me to the EPU as I've had 5 previous miscarriages. They gave me an early scan to check everything was ok. To be honest it was reassuring but not for long as it doesn't mean you're pregnancy is going to be ok so the worry is still there till the next scan.
