How do you get a scan? I dont mind paying for one but how do i go about it and where do i go? x
if you check the website of your booking hospital, they normally state what testing they offer for mums to be....
@catdean15, - downs testing is normally a blood test and a scan which is a basic anatomy check... and measurement of the nuchal space in the neck. you'll see your bean then 😀
@tori27, yeah i had my booking appointment last monday, with bloods, history, etc. I guess i might have to play the waiting game. Although i am due in 2 weeks to get a test for downs syndrome..... i think that is a scan, i hope 😊
@catdean15, you should get a dating scan at 12 wks then one at 20wks.x
If you have then your 20 weeks scan would be right, in between that u wud have shared care & see your GP in between hospital apps, I had my booking scan on 21st May and I'm not back for 20week scan that's 9 weeks in between which is a disgrace. I had a quickassure scan 2 weeks ago, so it's prob best to just pay if you want scanned, go on to ultrasound direct when u book u pay a £30 deposit and then the rest on the day.
@catdean15 have you not had ur booking scan where they take your information medical history bloods ect and scan you ?
My next scan is booked for 20 weeks, thats soooo far away. Think i will go get one booked in early 😊
@catdean15 you & me both, I've had to pay for early gender scan & had a quickassure scan 2 weeks ago, ring up your maternity ward and see when your booking app is, or have you had that?
I have confimed pregnancy and had my last scan at 6 weeks. Im now 10 weeks, i just want to see my lil bambino 😊
Or you can go to a private clinic, Ultrasound Direct they have them all over the UK you can get dating scan go onto their website & have a look and see what suits you best.
What kind of scan private or nhs??? Have you not went to your GP to confirm pregnancy? They refer you to the maternity ward and you will be sent out an appointment for a scan when you are around 10-11-12 weeks
@catdean15 oh you must get your anomaly scan early I thought that was only done at 20 weeks, though always go on to the private website if you've got the money I would go for it, the ladies are lovely and give more detail I think, the nhs hospitals just get u in and out as quick as possible x
