I've never had that experience Tanya and I agree it sounds like rubbish. Unfortunately all of the early scans I've had have been due to bleeding and a fear of m/c - especially after we lost our second babe at 12weeks. If not for those 'viability' scans (hate that term) the only routine scans I've ever been told about is the NT scan (which has always been explained to me as being optional) and then the morphology scan at 18-20 weeks.

With my last pregnancy, we did do a dating scan because we had absolutely no idea when the pregnancy had occurred. I was b'feeding, only had one period and thought I was infertile so wasn't paying much attention to my cycle.
