So far with NHS scan no partners are allowed to attend any appointments and that seems to be all over the place.

One private firm near me is allowing someone from the same household to attend scans.
Rest off them u attend them alone aswel.

NHS in England aren’t allowing partners in my county but some other areas are apparently. Same as private scan places around my area - some are allowing partners and some aren’t. Seems very hit and miss depending on where you go. May be a case of having to go slightly further afield for a private scan that allows partners x

I've got a private scan booked for next week and normally the place we're going allow upto 5 adults in the room hoevwer they told me upon booking only one other adult will be allowed in at the moment x

There is a company called window to the womb. Not sure they have a clinic in wales but these are now allowing 1 person from the same house hold.
I think your best bet is just finding the ones near to you and calling and asking.
Good luck - just a bit of advise, anytime after 7 weeks I personally think is best for an early scan. You will actually see a blob and a heartbeat. X

For NHS it varies county to county. Kingston have just started letting husbands in for appointments so mine could come to the 16 week appointment with me.

My midwife says its possible they may allow it at scans too so I’ve emailed to ask as she wasn’t sure.

It all seems to depend on where you are.

Yeah I think it just depends on the private company and whether their rules allow it. The one I’m going to partners can come along... can’t wait! Xx

Just need to be real about it but you dont have a choice at the moment, I had to attend both my 12 week and 20 week scans alone. Previous missed miscarriage, so it was really scary for me. I hope the rules have changed by the time your scan comes around x

In derbyshire NHS you can't have a partner in for any appointments or scans, I know it sucks. No guidance yet as to when this will change. I believe some private clinics are allowing one other adult in there with you x

Awhh lovely! Interested in what you could see xx

 

[Princess81]

She’s pointed a picture on a separate thread. But I’ll try and see if I can find my 6 week photo with my son xx

 

[Princess81]

This is my scan pic at 6 weeks with my son, don't see much apart from a little bright area with a gorgeous heartbeat flicking away. This was 9 years ago but the technology hasn't changed so they will still look like this x

Yes. I was convinced it was blighted ovum again but straight away saw yolk and teeny baby with heartbeat. I feel a lot more relaxed now just knowing
