babybond scans, how many is to many? are they harmful?
hello everyone,
i would just like your opinion please. we are having the 2 scans at 12 weeks and at 20 weeks, and then that is all the scans we would have. but we have booked at 16 week gender scan at babybond. when i told my mum she was not entirely happy and said you should not have extra scans. are they harmful? also on the babybond website you can have a growth scan and a 4d scan after 30 weeks which i like the sound of. but i am not so sure now. what do you ladies think? how many scans will you be having? are too many scans harmful? surely the private clinics would not be allowed to stay open if they were harmful?

Sorry, this probably hasn't been any help to you. Remember when your mum had you there weren't any scans so probably is worried because of that. My mum was a bit the same until she saw baby on the screen!!!
also ur mum might be thinking that its best to wait til 20 week scan to find out baby's sex as when they are earlier there can be less chance of them seeing girl or boy, so if u have ur usual 12 and 20 week ones then a 4d at 30ish weeks as a reassurance scan and sex confirmation ur less likely to be dissapointed. also as pumba says they didn't really have great access to scans back then and finding out the sex was unheard of so maybe this is also contributing to ur mum's concerns

My friend was scanned weekly from 20 weeks because she had a cyst on her ovary and she now has a very healthy bouncy 7 month old baby girl!!!
If there was any risk the NHS/ private firm wouldnt offer them for fear of being sued !
I hope you have a great time ! I had 2 scans very early, 6 weeks, 7 weeks, then 12 weeks and two at 20 weeks and would have loved more !!
