Unscheduled Scans

[little*red]

Hey girls just a question for those of you who have had multiple ultrasounds during your pregnancy (other than private/3D/4D scans). Did you have to have your scan due to problem in your pregnancy (other than the usual 12 weeks and 20 week scan) or did some people get more in the 2nd/3rd tri to check growth etc?
Basically what im asking is if you had a scan after your 20 week anomaly scan then why did you have to get the scan?
I really want to find out what sex our baby is, but not if it means that an ultrasound = problem with baby. Does that make sense?
My Oh and I don't have the money for a private scan and our parents wont lend us it because they keep telling us to wait!!!!!
Im sooo impatient, i hate the suspense of not knowing its driving me nuts.

hiya i have had 2 extra scans since my 20 week scan but it was because they were worried that my baby wasn't growing properly x

I just hd my 12 week and 20 week scans hun and we're having a surprise too!

The time passes quickly, trust me on that, and just think not knowing will make it just that extra bit special instead of everyone knowing what sex bubbs is, name etc.

It killed me not being able to find out but as i said it all adds to the excitment! Try and keep it a secret!!

Ive had a scan every week since i was 29 weeks pregnant. Ive got OC though so they have to check on her growth. Also got low fluid levels so they have to check on that.

My hospital offer another scan at 32 weeks. not everywhere does that though.....

Grace 7, hope you don't think i am being rude, but instead of having your ticker as your avatar and stretching all the pages, it's easier to have it in your signature hun

Thanks sam, i was hoping someone would say this, my hospital probably don't do them either, but when i was getting my 20 week scan there was a woman who was quite heavily pregnant going to get a scan, i heard her saying she had no problems with her pregnancy and the midwife said everything was fine so she wasnt sure why she was getting the scan, so maybe they do give you any extra scan just to check! Wishful think eh?

i didn't realise until a friend asked if i had my 32 week scan.... by this point i had had 5 extra anyway! lol

Fingers crossed you get offered another one. They may want to check the position of bubba later on.
I also got an internal scan done as standard to check to see if i was at risk of delviering early. 25 odd weeks (can't remember exactly now!)



Time will fly by though! it may not seem like it, but it does! What do you feel like you are having...

Everyone keeps telling me it will go quickly, but i just want to know so i can buy girly things or boy things, i like to be prepared!

Im not sure what im having now, my instincts said boy but the Dr atmy 20 week scan said her best guess was a girl, but only based on the fact that she couldnt see any boy parts (she couldnt see any girl parts either,as the wee bugger wouldnt open its legs !) and also she said not to go out and buy loads of girls things as it could still be a boy, which left me confused .

aww hun, if u really really wanna know, save up gradually and get a private scan. baby bond do one for £75.

I had the same thing. LO had her legs shut. nurse said she was 80% sure it was a girl.

At other scans, they checked for me and now are 99% sure it is a girly ive still been good with buying pinks though. i have had friends who have been told one sec and it was the other. Ive brought mostly neutural, and have been given girly stuff

I had 12 week and 20 week scan then last week I got sent for an emergancy possision scan as they could not find the head.
When I had Luke I went foe 1 a month due to him being to small, I was tempted to find out the sex last week but then thought only 3 weeks to go I might as well have a supprise! plus oh woul'dnt let me as he thinkswe are waiting 9 months to see the baby we might as well have a supprise at the end of it!

 

[grace7]

sorry it makes it stretched but i dont know how to change it lol! sorry

 

[little*red]

grace, just go to your profile and add the ticker to your signature and delete it from your avatar part .

THE ONLY PROBLEM GETTING A BABY BOND SCAN IS THAT I LIVE IN DUNDEE (oops caps on ) and the nearest babybond to me is 70 miles in livingston .

Im going to see the midwife on monday for my 6 month check up, so i think i might ask her if my hospital does the 32 week scan. Hopefully she will take pity on me and just book me in for a scan lol i wish!
