Devon, sending you many, many right now. I know the anxiety you are feeling right now all too well.
As for my history - scan at 6 weeks with FS, OB check at nearly 9 weeks, another scan at just past 10 weeks, NT scan at just past 12 weeks, another OB check at nearly 14 weeks... 5 scans so far, and everything is fine.
When I was freaking out with my FS before my first scan, he told me that despite what had happened previously (missed miscarriage discovered just before 9 weeks), the odds were very much in our favour of having everything work out fine this time.
Also want to add... you're in 2nd trimester now, the risks have dropped. It's taken me a while to get my head around that fact, but for now I'm stubbornly refusing to let myself worry and I'm committed to being relaxed and enjoying the "boring" stage of pregnancy between the first trimester risks going away and the later pregnancy complications developing - if they develop at all. Some days the only thing keeping me there is the fact that work has me too exhausted to worry too much, but I am mostly managing it.
Hang in there! Chances are very good that all will be fine now. As the others have said, they've likely stopped the midwives doing scans because a problem was missed on a reassurance scan due to lack of proper training rather than a reassurance scan being the cause of a problem.
