Should I get an early scan?
We found out last week that we our expecting our first baby. We have a 2 week holiday booked to America in June, I will be 11 weeks when we go and 13 weeks when we return. I am wondering whether to get a private scan before we go for peace of mind whilst we are there or is that being a bit OTT? I feel like time is standing still at the moment and that the next 8 months are going to take forever !!

I was in a similar situation - had to go abroad in early pregnancy so I did a scan at 8 weeks just to reassure myself everything was fine. Unfortunately, it was not, and the day after I had to leave for another country, without time for any treatment in my home country. A very sad and stressful situation. Most likely your scan will show that you and your baby are fine, but just think it through, and make sure to have some time in between the scan and the trip, just in case... With this said, I wish you good luck with the pregnancy and I am sure your baby is just fine :)
