20 week anomaly scans & NHS Lothian!!! (or the lack thereof)
Simnply put - NHS Lothian and even as far as I know NHS in North Lanarkshire don't do 20 week anomaly scans as there are not enough trained sonographers.... :x
Is it just me or does that totally suck! PAH!!!
A scan is too expensive privately for many soon-to-be mums....but us ladies shouldn't have to pay to check developmental growth....grr...makes me angry.
Comments anyone?

Discuss it with your midwife at your booking appt. You might live in the right area for a 20wk one...personally, I'm thinking of trainign to be a sonographer/ultra sound scanner......then maybe other mums-to-be mght get a chance. *sigh* :roll:
There is legislation on the issue stating that all women ins cotland should recieve both scans, but as said before, lack of trained staff, etc, etc
good luck with your pregnancy...awww...another wee peanutty bean....you must be chuffed.

I really missed it when my friends were having theirs, but I don't mind so much now when I'm 30 weeks. I can wait to see my baby for real now I'm counting down....:\)
I live in Highland and it is the same! It is all about funding up here. I have written complaints to medical directors and chief executives etc, but it has gotten me nowhere. I am having to go private and drive to Glasgow, just for reassurance that my baby is okay x
