Should I rush to private or wait for my local hospital appointment?

Hi. I’m currently at week 7. This is my first time. I’m getting anxiety and worried if my pregnancy is ok as I’ve not been to the gynae yet. My appointment is set in July and by then I would be 14 weeks. Should I just go to private to scan first and see if baby is ok? Just afraid it’s too early or is it too late? Or I should wait for the appointment in July. All these worrying makes me so tired.

Congrats mama! I go private and could see the baby (0.83cm haha) and hear it’s heartbeat via the vaginal scan at 6weeks5days. I called just before CNY long weekend and got an appointment on day 3 CNY so I am assuming u can get it in next few days if you called during clinic hours tomorrow. Personally, I would be too anxious to wait that long too and I think the first trimester is crucial (you will be second tri by 14 weeks!)! I spent about $150 I think. I would go with peace of mind rather than to have to wait another month plus ❤️
