After a miscarriage at 7+1 weeks in May I have found out that I am pregnant again and I'm devastated. Both pregnancies were unplanned and both times were contraception failures. I'm in a fairly new relationship and my partner really doesn't want more children, I have 2 teenagers and raised them with no support from their dad and have always struggled for money and i'm frightened of doing it on my own again with a baby, not to mention ill be 15 years older than I was with my last child! So I am unhappily considering a termination.
Because I am pregnant so soon after the miscarriage they wouldn't send out a medical in the post and i have been booked for a scan to date before I can have a termination. I'm pretty sure i ovulated straight after the miscarriage so by my dates I will be 8+3 at the scan.
I'm not looking forward to the scan at all - i'm worried it will make a termination much harder to deal with, but i also really do want to see the baby. Im worried that because it was booked to date for a termination, that the staff might treat me as such, and really I'm not decided yet at all.
Will it be like a 'normal' scan, will they show me it on a screen, let me have a photo etc? I feel a bit stupid for asking but I'm feeling so emotional and don't know what to expect at all!
