Right I have another dilemma.....

I will be on holiday for a week just as my 20 weeks scan is due, we actually fly when I will be 19 +5 days.

If it was you would you try and have the scan before you go on holiday.....or have a nice relaxing holiday and then have the scan done when you got back?

Part of me thinks it would be great to go away knowing everything is fine, but the other part of me thinks maybe its best to have some fun and relaxation on the holiday and then check everything is ok once we get back.

So what would you do???
 
I would have it when I got back! It will be something to look forwards too after your holiday!! :cheer: :cheer:
 
I agree with Lea, def something nice to look forward to after your hol! :D
 
I was thinking before, but then saw what Lea said and agree it would be something nice to look forward to on your return.

Have a great holiday.
 
I agree, I would wait until after your holiday. I did the same when I was due for my 12 weeks scan and I had it when I came back from holiday when I was 14 weeks. It was something to look forward to and it was great knowing everything was ok when I got back.
 
Probably wait til after as the scan result will be clearer and more chance of them being able to do all checks they need to, I ended up having 3 scans 2 before my holiday and one after because baby was in a bad possition at first two scans and they couldn't do all the checks. Do you actually get a say in when you have scan though ours was booked through midwife and all we could do was ring up and change it if we couldn't make the date but luckily the dates didn't clash with our holiday.
 
Thanks Ladies............I will ask for a date after my holiday!

We are lucky in the fact we can call and book our own scan dates, in fact the hospital asks you to call 3 weeks before its due to book it!
 
I would ring them and ask there advice as I was away when my 20 week scan was due and there is a time frame as to when they will do it for measurements when checking baby. I had to book mine for the day after I got back from my hols at 21+? as that was the last day they could do.
 
:wave: I would go after holidays. My hospital does scan at 23 weeks as they say they can see some organs like kidneys much clearer.. I can't wait until then and have a private one on Saturday :wink:
 
We are away in Rome when my 20 week scan is due so have got it for when we come back - as others have said something to look forward to :cheer:
