Can i have a dating scan at 10 weeks
Contents:
Early scans are not only for dating, but are for viability too.. My first pregnancy I had a US at 6wk ONLY because of suspected ectopic, all was fine then successful with my DD , 2nd pregnancy had a scan every week from wk until i miscarried, 3rd pregnancy I was refused a US, then went to the wk 12 scan expecting to see my baby and miscarried on the table.. I am now going through my 5th pregnancy, and I should be 9wks today, but have had 2 US so far and its not looking good, 1st told me I was 5w5d supposed to be 7w3d second said 6w1d supposed to be 8w4d I have another on Wed this week..
So, I guess what I'm saying, is that, if your pregnancies are usually fine with no problems, then its not really necessary to have the early US, I have been advised always to have an early scan due to my history of mc, and as I said, these are not for dating, they are for viability to find a HB OH AND u can ask them to write on the referral to "please bulk bill" then u don't have to pay either.. I had my first dating scan today. Prior to going, my dr and i were pretty sure by my dates that i was 8 weeks 6 days, however they gave me the option of going as i have PCOS and couldn't be sure.
After having the dating scan ultrasound and transvaginal scan - they said it looks like i'm only 5weeks 4 days. I'm a bit confused with how the timing works, because by my notes of ovulation etc.. But they seem confident by the measurements They've booked me to go back in two weeks for another dating scan.
Posted Tuesday 01 May I went to the doctor at 5 weeks. You can just ask your doctor for a dating scan, say you're not too sure about when exactly you conceived and how far you are. This limbo is just horrendous. Hi emmsiebubbles when are you heading for another scan? Fingers and toes still crossed for you!! Still no cramping, can only be a good thing!!
I dont know what to be hopeful about anymore. My GP just rang there. She is sending me to maternity for scan on wed. You know, I think I would cope ok if i knew I was definitely miscarrying. All you girls have been so fantastic tho, thanks so much. At the mo no news is good news in a way I think! My heart goes out to you being stuck in limbo like this!! Hi emmsie, god my heart really goes out to ya but as the other girls have said when there is no bleeding or cramping that is a good sign.
Hi again emmsie — given that you got a positive test back in January you can be sure of your dates so the only problem could be either with the scanning machine used in the clinic or with the pregnancy itself. You poor thing — I do know what that waiting time is like but in my case I was sure of my dates too — I went for a scan at 9wks one time and only saw 6wk old on scan and although they said come back in a week I knew in my heart things were not right and I was right. Following that when I got pregnant they couldnt see much on scan and they did the blood tests the girls have referred to above to see if levels are rising and again mine were not.
I had a couple of early scans on this pregnancy for reassurance in a private clinic and I found their machine to be actually way superior to the one in the EPU. I didnt even need a full bladder and they did both external and internal scan.
Hi, I've got my appointment for my first scan next week but according to my dates I 'll only be wks. Will it be a waste of time do you think? I a. It is usually offered to pregnant women from 10 weeks to 13 weeks gestation, but If you choose to have a dating scan, it will most probably be your first scan.
The minute they put the scanner on my tummy the baby popped up with heart beating away and I was only 6wks 5 days. They did an internal as well just to double check everything especially with my history.

However as I said it will depend on the clinic — mostly though they are pretty confident that they will see a heartbeat once you pass the 7wk mark. I dont know what to say to you — the fact that you have pregnancy symptoms is good and the stretching pains etc that you describe sound encouraging so hopefully it was just where the baby was lying and a bad scanning machine and the next time you go all will be ok.
Are you paying the private clinic for a second scan??
A couple of times,I felt a kind of stretching, like a growing pain, in my abdomen.

If so, would you not just think of going to the early pregnancy unit in your maternity hospital which would be free?? Especially in case there might be a problem as you would be referred there after next scan anyway …….

Sorry emmsie — hadnt read the posts on the 2nd page — doh!!! I see your gp is referring you to the maternity tomorrow — sorry to hear there was no growth on the last scan. Fingers crossed for a miracle tomorrow …… take care xx. Just been reading your posts…I really hope you get positive news.
how accurate is a dating scan?
It could really go any way…a friend of mine went through slightly similar, and all was ok, her dates were off by about week and half. For me, mine was a missed mc. A scan at 8 weeks showed sac, but no baby. Had another scan a week later, and was still same.
Had had no bleeding or cramping etc, no signs of mc. Was hard to believe as had nothing to suggest had mc, even still had morning sickness. So, as I say, it can go either way, and am praying you get good results. Hi markyboy,thanks for posting. The waiting is just awful tho. Emmsiebubbles I really really hope its good news for you.
The waiting is absolutely horrible and never ending. I went through similar with my last pregnancy. I did have terrible pain in one side when I was only 6 weeks I was convinced I was miscarrying. She told me she could see the sac and no heartbeat and that it was tiny and the chances were that I would miscarry.
I went home devestated. They did take blood test to see what my hormone levels were and asked me to come back in a couple of days early in morn to have more bloods taken which I did. They told me at that stage that my hormones had slightly risen but not enough and to go home and see what happens.
Why would I have a dating scan?
I was told I had to be re-scanned in 10 days and it was like an eternity. Then I asked for a second opinion and was scanned by an older mid-wife who really took her time and totally relaxed me, and even though it took her what seemed like forever she did find the heartbeat.
She said my womb was tilted which is why they found it so hard to find.
SO fingers crossed your news will be good also. My thoughts and prayers are with you. He was pretty awful. I complained him and he was slightly more personable the second time round. He spent less than two mins on each scan. Your story sounds full of hope, HelloMama. I will be sure to let you all know.
It really has been a massive comfort, hearing all your stories and words of wisdom. I appreciate it more than I can say. Have no words of wisdom to offer as have never been through anything like this but just wanted to say I hope all goes well for you tomorrow. Sending you lots of hugs and positive energy. But she says it looks like a missed miscarriage. I had a missed miscarriage myself, discovered at 12 weeks. No bleeding or cramping or any other sign that anything was wrong.
