Any ladies in Northern ireland?..re..private scans

Hiya, I'm in N.I. I flit between Antrim and Lisburn. My hospital doesn't tell you the sex either but thats ok with me as this is my first. Well done with this being no.7!! That is amazing!!

I'm not sure of the prices but I know that 323 lisburn road do them and there is the Malone clinic. I've heard mixed reports about the Malone Clinic. I dont think that there are many other private places over here to be honest. I have to say I agree with you that the prices you have been quoted are a bit steep!! The other option is to see if there are any places in Glasgow and arrange a wee romantic overnight stay and have it done while you are there. Translink do very reasonable bus/ferry/hotel packages (my DH is scottish so we use these regularly)

Good Luck and let me know how you get on.

 

The thing with the Malone Clinic was that another girl on here told me that when they went the sonographer was pretty rude to them and even though they told her that they didn't want to know the sex of the baby she actually printed them a picture of that area of the baby............ This girl was also left with some internal bruising as the sonographer was so rough with her. I know it has put me off going there. My DH can't make it to the 20 week scan with me as he will be away for work so I was going to take him to a private clinic as a wee surprise but I dont think that I will use them after hearing that.

I hope you hear of a cheaper scan!!

 

Ooops it is 352...... sorry!! These are the details..........

I had to book my 20 week scan at my consultant appointment and the woman in radiology said "they dont really want you here at 20 weeks they want you here at 21 weeks". this was even though my consultant had written on the card that they wanted me in at 20 weeks. I dont mind but thought it was a bit odd.

Good Luck with the scan info!!

 

hi!! I saw your post and wanted to ask you if you had went for the 4d scan? Do you mind me asking how it was,was it expensive?how long did it take?this is my 4th pregnancy and my last so i really want to do this,never get the chance to again!!thank you very much

 

Hi!

I'm from Co Down area. Are you booked into the Ulster Hospital by any chance? I had my 20 week scan there last week and although there are signs everywhere telling you that they won't scan for the gender and not to ask, my husband did and we were told what we're having. It all depends on the sonographer on the day I think and the manner in which you ask! Another local girl on the forum here did the same at the Ulster and she was told as well. If you want any further info then feel free to Pm me. I am booked into 3five2 Medical for a 4D scan in September, but it's a birthday present from Hubs, otherwise I wouldn't fork out £240 for a scan when I know the baby's healthy!

Good luck!

I was going to go to the Ulster but chose the royal instead. Am so glad now as I'd heard they won't tell you the sex!!

I had looked into a private scan but they really take the piss over here. With there only being a few places that do it, they can pretty much charge what they want, and they do! I just couldn't justify spending that kinda money. I had looked into that 352 place and heard good recommendations though..

Sorry cant help with that chick. I know there is Dr Fogarty who does private clinic in Crawfordsburn, but dont know about going private with the hospital - is this not just consultant led care but your gonna be charged for it? Will they not just give it to you instead of shared care?
How far on are you Good luck

 

Hey Everyone - Babybond has a clinic in Belfast and Iv heard some fab reviews on them. Its £97 for a normal 2d scan with a 4d "freeview" which is just a wee glimpse of baby usin 4d depending on their position; and a 4d basic package is £139. Theyr the cheapest I could find. Go on their website for more pricelists and packages xxx
