I'm going to go at midday. I will get the results Friday at 10am. I'm not gonna sleep!!

So excited for your scan!!!
 
Im excited for all your earlier scans. They don't do them in Canada. In fact health canada advises strongly against anything but necessary scans. You are not supposed to have ANY extra scans as they claim the ultrasounds are hard on the babies (YEAH RIGHT - they've only been doing them for how many years and tonnes of times for high risk pregnancy!!!!) So if you want a 3d scan you need to book your 20week as a 3d scan and pay for it.

So i will be here waiting for 12 weeks while all u lucky ladies get to see the bubs early :cry: SOOO JEALOUS
 
readynwilling, we don't get a first scan until 12 weeks either. I've booked a private one just for peace of mind. Do you not have any private scanning places near you?
 
No thats what i mean - In canada they don't do private ones because of the health canada warnings. You can't even book a private 3D scan. You need to choose to have your 20 week scan done as 3D. You are not allowed to do any scans that doesn't have a warrented medical reason.
 
OK, that's a bit nanny state-ish! I'll book one for eight weeks to put my mind at rest but I'm going to try to resist the urge to have one at ten and then have my twelve week scan, a gender scan at sixteen and the NHS one at twenty. We did kind of regret not having a 3D scan (translates to my OH said I couldn't then complained just before she was born that we didn't have one. sigh) at 26-32 weeks.

Took another digi just after my last post - got 2-3 :) Phew.
 
I live in Alberta, and I have an early scan scheduled (I'll be 7 weeks). The doctor wants to monitor me after my miscarriage to make sure everything is ok.....My mom also had problems in her pregnancies and required to be stitched at 4 months, so he said he needs to watch that as well. I will definitely be booking a 3d scan later on, just so i can see more details:)

They consider anyone who has had a MC higher risk i think... this is my first time being pregnant and i have asked around to book an 8 week ultrasound and was told NO. They want to make sure your LO is ok so its medically necessary to do an early one.

I spoke to her via PM and she was going to request to admin to make me the author of the thread. I don't want to hassle her about it. I will leave it today and then ask her again tomorrow if i don't hear anything. Is that ok??
 
fine with me :) was just thinking when more people joined it probably wouldnt get updated, ill remind you to change it for me when it gets changed over :) xxx
 
That is crazy about the scans - I did hear that too many scans can increase the risk of dyslexia, but that is about it - and my DD is almost 3 and she doesn't have dyslexia - she recognises all her letters fine already. I had 9 scans last pregnancy - suspect it will be slightly fewer this time round, but here in South Africa they scan you every time you see a gynae high risk or not and we all see gynaes if we are in private practice on medical aid. The medical aids only want to pay for 3 scans a pregnancy, so how it gets through I am not sure, but it does.
 
Im pretty sure there isn't any real risk with the mulitple ultrasounds - but in canada all health care is paid by the government (funded by our taxes of course) and im pretty sure they just want to scare us out of getting more scans so they don't have to pay for them!
 
the nhs pays for your 12 and 20 week scans plus any you might need for various reasons such as growth scans, early reassurance scans etc but you have the option to pay for more scans in between!

i had 3 in last pregnancy and will be having 4 at least if everything goes well this time,

early scan, 12 week scan, 20week scan, and 4d one x
