Hi ladies,

I've recently mc but hoping to try again soon.

I was just wondering if i'll receive better care next time and if i'll be offered more scans, especially in the first trimester or do they just do the same as a normal pregnancy?

Thank you and huuuuuge congrats to you all!

it really depends on the hospital. i was under investigation for irratic cycles (pcos) when i got my bfp. i already had a scan booked, so they said i could still have it to check on the pregnancy. that was at 5+4. then ,as they didnt see a heart beat i had another at 8+4. but they cancelled my 12 week scan so i had to go private. so, on the nhs i was offered 1 extra scan. most hospitals seem reluctant to do early scans as if you are going to mc there is nothing they can do to stop it. i found saying what i expected firmly helped.

Hi.
I had a mc July 08 at 12 weeks. This time around we had nothing extra at all, just the same as the time before. I think it depends very much where you are.

I think its a bit of a postcode lottery. Ive had 2 mmc and been really lucky, i got 7 week then 12 week after i had my first mc, then this year i had my second mmc and got 6,9 and 12 week scans.

I think that is partly coz with my mmc i had no symptoms till my 12 week scan discovered the mc so poss why ive been fortunate to get extra care.

Its maybe not PC but if it was me and i was worried for any reason and they wouldnt scan me, i would magic a bit of spotting!!

Im sure this will be a sticky one, good luck
