should i have a private scan?
Hi
I usually just post on Due on Oct but wondering if anyone can help me. I had a late booking app with midwife becaiuse the staff wouldn't booki me in at the docs untill 11 or so weeks. I was told to ring the scan appointment this week if i hadn't heard from them. They told me it could be up to 2 weeks untill i get my letter telling me when my scan is i am 13 weeks on Sat so could be 15-16 weeks before i could be scanned might be earlier but doubt it. They told me they are really busy, great. Mid wife has said not to worry and she will chase but it might not be untill 15 weeks till i have my 12 scan. Rubbish. Just wondering if i should go private now as i can have scan on Sat.. Do you think its worth going or waiting?
Thanks

Tell them you want it within the next week as it is REALLY stressing you out.....tell your GP, you feel completely stressed out about it - they will spped it on for you surely if you feel stressed!
good luck xx

I have rung up and stressed how much i'm stressing out not having my scan and they just can't do anything about it they are short staffed and have no appointments so i think i'm facing a losing battle. I think i'll book private one at least ill feel more relaxed after that plus i will have one a few weeks after that 2 then xx
They should be more understanding that you need the reassurance.

Well i did some searching and have booked with Babybond on Sat so i'm looking forward to that at least i will have reassurance and a nice first scan typical NHS eh

Anyway, i couldn't get my 12 week scan on the NHS so booked one with BabyBond and had it done yesterday - it was really good as we had a plasma screen showing us the baby.
I'd say it's worth it - i booked the Dating scan with them
