No scans until morph scan

[~*Niadalla*~]

I as just wondering, is it really rare for people not to have any scans until the morph scan?

I was tempted to have a dating scan, but I know my dates, and my GP doesn't think I need one. He also doesn't see the need for the NT scan, which is fine with me, cos I don't want that one anyway.
A friend has just told me that I am 'brave' for not having any done until the morph scan. I don't understand how I am brave....

Anyway, I was wondering, how many others out there are not having any scan before the morph scan? Am I in a minority?
Cheers.

I've had two scans done so far, at 6 weeks and 8 weeks. Party because I had some bleeding and a pain in my side, and I had to travel, so we needed to rule out an ectopic pregnancy. But the 8 week scan was really more to reassure us that everything is going fine, even though I had been spotting.

It was for me an immense relief to know that things measured out as they should: the diameter of the sac and the heartbeat at 8 weeks and so on. So I can relax more, and my husband is showing all his mates the photo of the 8 week ultrasound - yep it's a blob!

For me it was totally worth it to have an early scan done, even two of them, just for the peace of mind. No doubt other people's experiences will differ, though.

Alot of people dont have a scan until the morph scan. There is usually a reason to have one earlier. I had my first one at 12 weeks (NT) only coz i wanted to see bub. Im so glad i did it was the best scan i have had throughout this pregnancy

With DD the only scan i had was the morph scan.

With this preg I had the NT scan and the morph scan - thats it. I dont like the idea of too many scans, but that is really each to their own.

Some people have no scans at all.
I had 4 with DS, 1 for unexplained bleeding at 6 weeks at which point a fibroid was noticed so they wanted me to have them at 12. 20 and 36 weeks to check it.

I would have just had the morphology scan if it were not for my previous m/c's. I had 1 at 7 weeks and 1 at 11 weeks(not NT) because i was so paranoid.
