Midwife and scan 8+3

I have my midwife appointment tomorrow for the usual health checks, medical history etc however I have also received my dating scan for Thursday!! Is this not far too early and would they actually see anything? I did get told when I had my son 5 years ago I would probably be high risk because of his weight and my health - I also had to have a Emergency section.

Any others experience greatly received - thank you

I would spk to midwife as I had scan at 9 weeks due to pains n it just a blob on screen my datin scan was at 11wks they asked me to come back week later for another 1 and wat a difference a week made in pic so I think as far as dating scans go it b waste of time n u have to go bk again but u may want to go see it but b aware u may get there n realise n ask u to re book

when I had to have an emergency scan at 8wks due to bleeding the scan looked like a bouncing peanut shell. There is something there to see but very little can be deduced from it, they just looked for a heartbeat and pointed it out to us. If the scan is definitely for dating, u will need to go back again between 11wk and 13+5wk. It could be an early preg scan as u were a high risk case before xx

Hi all, thank you all for your replies I did think that not much would be seen - hopefully I get another scan closer to the 12 week mark xx
