hii, was just wondering whether you had to pay for a scan or not and how many you get?

if you do have to pay for them, how much?

thanks in advance.

:)
 
Nope :) not unless you go private. You get a 12 weeks scan and a 20 week scan. Sometimes if baby is measuring small etc, then you will be given extra scans. You pay for any pictures though that you decide to get.

thankyouu..

for the extra ones, do you know how much you have to pay?x
 
I believe the extra ones are free as it is for health reasons of your child that you would be put forward for them. Most won't need these, so expect you will only have a 12 week and a 20 week scan.

I got an early scan 6weeks, one at 13weeks, 21weeks, 34weeks and one more at 40weeks in the UK free NHS
xxx

The normal ammount here in N.Ireland :)
 
wow that's a lot of scans.... it's usual to just have two. I've only had two each for both my pregnancies.

xoxox
 
ohh, ive been reading everywhere that there should be loads of scans =/

ohh well, will see what happens with me.

thanks girls :)
 
34week one is rubbish as babys too big so I bet 40 weeks will be terrible lol

Here 3 is the normal ammount 13, 21, 34 now the new thing is 40 which I feel is pointless xxx
 
Awh that's nice you get an extra one then! Yeah 40 weeks does sound a little bit pointless :/

And Mummy2BeShamz since you're in Essex too, I would think you would only have the two scans like meee :) Can always ask at your first GP appointment how many scans you are likely to have.

yehh the 40 week one does seem pointless; wouldnt mind though, i would want to see my baby as much as possible before it arrives x
 
yeahhh think your right xx~Lor~xx .. i would want more though lol..

really want an early scan though as i previously had a m/c x
 
I got three, 8 weeks, 12 weeks (was at 13+4 though) and 20 weeks (was at 20+4). The 8 week one i got because of my previous miscarriage. They were all free. The pictures were too at my hospital.
 
I got 3
one at 27 weeks, one at 34 weeks and one at 36 weeks (didnt find out until 25 weeks that i was pregnant)

the third one was because they were concerned about fluid levels.
oh and i was supposed to pay for photos (but the scanner felt sorry for me and gave me them for free)

the only scans you have to pay for are the 3d/4d ones or one where you have them done at a private clinic as far as im aware on the uk.
 
wow didnt find out until 25 weeks?
didnt you realise?

thanks for the info :) x
 
sorry girls i wrote the title wrong i meant do you have to pay for scan pictures??

wow didnt find out until 25 weeks?
didnt you realise?

thanks for the info :) x
