Hi, I'm looking for some advice on a bit of a weird problem. My fiance and I have a 7 month old daughter, and are now expecting our second child. As we got pregnant again straight after our first without a break, we have no way of knowing when the baby was conceived, it could be 4 weeks, it could be 20! It's more likely 4, but mum thinks she has been getting symptoms from further along (flutters). The doctor told us the midwife should arrange a dating scan ASAP, but the midwife's won't do this until after we've booked in, and they can't fit us in until 15th April, so the dating/12 week scan won't be before 22nd April at the earliest. We were told that we could go private for either a reassurance scan or a full dating scan, but both of these cost nearly £100 and aren't guaranteed to help (both are only valid after 7 weeks, I think).
I'm wondering if anyone has been in the same situation and could offer some advice? Are we worrying about nothing? Are the private scans worthwhile? Should our doctors/midwife's be doing something more for us?
Thanks in advance for your help!
