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! 😊 Definitely go to a private gynae first to get a peace of mind! I personally wouldn’t be able to wait so long too. I heard my baby’s heartbeat at 6 weeks so you would likely be able to hear a heartbeat by now. Private clinics can usually slot you in within the next few days so it’s pretty efficient. Cost wise consultation on average would be around $120-150 for initial visit and ultrasound scan would set you back by about $100 /-
