Hi Possums... I am going to a private OB and he does a scan just in his room each time I go. So after my early 6 week 3 day scan with FS, I then had an 8 week scan with OB. Next was the proper 12 week scan and then on Monday next week we have our 16 week appointment with OB who will do another quick scan.
So I think all in all it depends on your OB. I hope yours does the scans each time you go... it is truely amazing to see how much they change. At 6wk3day, mine looked like a little worm, at 8 weeks it looked like 2 round blobs, and then at 12 weeks - a real baby!
Thanks Janie. I am going to a private OB from tomorrow onwards now too, and I hope I can have another scan before 12 weeks too.
Sadly I don't have the option where I live of a private birth. From 12 weeks on, my Ob has to refer me to the clinic at my public hospital and all remaining checks will be there. I am a bit upset about that, but there is just no choice here. I had thought I could at least see my own OB through the pregnancy, but have now found out how it works.
I had my NT scan this morning....and there is a baby in there afterall!!! As I hadn't seen a heartbeat at all and had no idea if things were progressing well, it was a long sleepless night last night. Nuchal fold measures at 1.2mm so all good. Will get my actual results combined with BT at my next appt I think. Buddy is measuring 3 days ahead at 12w6d but we're sticking with the dates we already had at 12w3d. He's 6.9cm long and heartbeat was 154.
I still can't believe I am actually pregnant! It's still so surreal.
