    You have to pay privately. Well i am, if you type 3d/4d scan + your area in google with it should come up with the clinics near you. They are not all ??200, they can be ??95 or less depending on what package you want. Im going with babybond clinic & my package is ??145 & it includes a dvd, cd rom, small & large pics & 2 keyrings*

    Have a look on ebay aswel, someone got a cheap deal the other week off ebay***

    Hi Tess

    I got a dvd, a cd rom with about 40 pics on it and they printed off 6 pics of my choice, also they put a video clip on the web so you can send it to family and friends. Heres the link if you would like to see it.

    I found out im having a boy, im 25 weeks today!
    You have less then 100 days to go, i cant wait to get to single figures nevermind double!!!
    The scan is clear, baby looks like a girl (in my humble opinion!!!)
    My o/h didnt want to know but i did so i made him leave the room so the sonographer could tell me. Im impatient too & i like to be prepared!! I have kept it a secret for nearly 2 weeks, even from all my friends & family. Well apart from my mummy!!!

    I dont know how you have managed to keep it a secret, I would let it slip or buy something that gave it away lol. Your not that much different to me then date wise really nearly 2 weeks. Have you got any names picked out yet?
    Almost everyone thinks im having a girl, I think its a girl too but I honestly have no idea. Cant wait to find out when it finally decides to arrive.

    Hi Vicki,
    hope you don't mind i had a look at the video its lovely wish i'd had one now but i think it's too late for me to have one as he will be too big now, certainly feels it the way he's moving around in there!! my sister had one done at the prima baby show last year but the next baby show is on my due date so won't be able to go!! Em x

    Well either way it will be a lovely suprise!
    Im buying things & hiding them so no one see's them, im finding it easier than i thought i would. I think cos i can share it with everyone on here its not so bad!
    I like Kaiden & De'jarn ('j' is pronounced 'sh'), Micheal is definately the second name after my dad. Im undecided about the names as i find boys names are so much hardr than girls!
    I liked Jaiden but found it was everywhere so Louise01 suggested Kaiden which i liked!
    I like Kai & Thomas & Luke aswel

    Hi

    No of course I dont mind, anyone is welcome to have a look at it. How many weeks are you now? They say the best time is between 25-28 weeks but they go up to 34 weeks. It was such a great experience, I would recommend it to anyone to have it done.

    Hi Tess

    I agree boys names are much harder to choose than girls, I like Kaiden thats really nice, the others are too. Its such a hard decision. We have only got 1 name picked for each, we like Tyler for a boy and Callie for a girl. I keep looking in the books but think we will stick with those.
    Its not so bad if you can buy stuff and hide it, I suppose if you can come on here and say it makes it easier you wont spurt it out to someone else. Maybe I shouldve found out, oh well too late now got no more scans coming up :\( will have to wait now lol.

    Hi Kat2007 - they do the scans at Babybond in Newcastle and also at the RVI in Newcastle which sounds like it should be a lot closer for you. I'm having mine a week opn Thursday at the RVI - cant wait! Jo x
