I have early scans because I've had two missed miscarriages.
Also many private OB's just do them routinely anyway at every appointment as they already have a machine in their rooms.
Gurnz, I'm almost 10 weeks pg and am not having a scan until 12 weeks. And believe me, the waiting is killing me! LOL I kind of wished that I'd arranged an earlier scan now, just so I know that everything is ok. My worst fear is having a missed miscarriage Also, I don't have a private OB as I'm having the baby at a birth centre. As Flea said, if you have a private OB they will probably do a scan at each visit just because they have the machine there.
I've had 2 early scans due to having 3 miscarriages.
I think having a scan at 12 weeks is the best time to have one as your dates will be right at that stage. Even with dating scans they are not always right.
I've already had my dates changed twice in two weeks.
