Had to see my GP today because of my terrible morning sickness and asked him to sign me off work for a week which he did luckily but while I was there, I asked him if he could arrange for me to have a private scan.

This is mainly just for reassurance. I said I dont mind paying for it, just want to see the baby on the screen for myself. It took 18 months to conceive and now I am so totally paranoid that there is no baby and I made a mistake etc although I have every symptom in the book plus 5 positive tests!

He gave me the number for our local private hospital and I rang the ultrasound department and the stupid rude woman on the phone asked how far along I was. When I told her just over 8 weeks she said, no we wont do it because there is nothing worth seeing until 12 weeks and more or less hung up on me! I was so shocked - thought they would sort out an appointment. Dont know what to do now :cry:
 
google to try and find a "reassurance scan" companies liek babybond do them...


There not the cheapest.. but if you need that convincing, the money im sure will not matter :)


If u nede any help lemme know and i'll help you look
 
Your GP can't really do much re a private scan. Apart from give you a number. Its not for him to arrange anything or refer you. You just need to find a place and book yourself in :)

Your best bet is to do as others suggested and Google for places in your area that offer them.

I went to my local Nuffiled hospital for my 12 week Nuchal scan and they do reassurance scans also.
 
Aww that was awful of her! What difference does it make to her of them anyways how far along you are? You want the scan for reassurance and you will be paying!??!
