My sister had hers very close together I think daniel ws 6 months when she got pregnant again she took him to the first to find out how many weeks and they didn't mind but chose not to take him to the other two because on btoh occasions he had an ear infection and was really grumpy. I want mine now

Good luck .Allie!

I took neil, layla, my mum and my 5 year old sister to the scan and they didn't mind. I was in uch though...

Plus it might be nice for him to be involved from the start even though he's too young to remember but he might like to lokk at the screen

That was just a one off like but I always took layla to them cause we had no one to watch her.

I'm only going to take dom I think because i'm getting them at my local hospital which is a 15 minute walk from my house plus I think it will be nice for us to do it together

Thanks michelle!

I know its ok to take people, its just cos theres no one I can take who can hold him for me. Be easier if he was walking so he could stand next to the bed and hold my hand or something. I dont want to need their help.

Im still thinking about adoption so im not bothered about lucas seeing it really.

Good luck can you scan the pics on so we can all see? I think they can tell at 16 weeks what the sex is how far do you think you are? Keep us all filled in!

In the uk if you have another scan when it's not needed you just want one do you have to pay the department ?

Thanks claudia I think im around 3 months. I wont be putting pics up I dont have a scanner or webcam, and I dont plan on getting one cos I wouldnt hardly use it so its a waste of money, plus people steal pics too often. I got 3 scan pics with lucas' first scan so i'll def get some this time too. Its so cool seeing them inside, im excited now lol

danni I dunno about that. Last time I had a scan at 12ish weeks and another at 20ish weeks. They give everyone 2 scans routinely dont they? In america they seem to get more?

I've heard that you can get more if ou want to but some places charge and I want to know the sex as soon as I can so I want one between the one on the 18th and my 20 weeks

Oh. U know u have to pay for any pics u get. The ones I got of lucas were £7.00 each if I remember right...Still got the reciept somewhere. Dunno why I kept that lol

My local hospital doesn't charge they ask for a donationsion but i'm going to take £10-20 with me just in case

I had one at a clinic when I first found out I was prego I was about 6 and a half weeks, it was free but wasn't at a doctors office it was a clinic run by a church group. Then my doctors gave me one at 8 weeks, 19 weeks, and 33 weeks. I think its different depending on complications or concerns with your pregnancy, who your dr is, your healthcare provider and things like that. Some people from what I am told only get one scan during the entire pregnancy. At my drs they do a scan at around 18-20 weeks and since they can see it anyway.. If you want to know they will tell you the gender. However if they baby is in a bad position and they cant see and you need to know, to reschedule the scan just for a gender check is a good $80 and to get those fancy 3d/4d scans that will run you a good $200 dollars! They are amazing, but way too expensive!

I would love to get that done but it's so much money I could buy a few outfits for that or some milk or bottles

I think its good they gave u one at 33 weeks cos they can check everything is developing how it should. They check measurements, fingers, toes etc at earlier ones but still from 20 to 38 weeks is a long time.... Did it hurt or feel more uncomfortable at 33 weeks? Being so much bigger.

My sister had one at around that time and she said it was weird because her bump was so big the jelly was sliding down before they could put the scanner on! She had to have one then because her little girl wasn't maoving, turns out she was just lazy

If/when I get pregnant I get a scan every 2 weeks from the very start but that's because i've got a funky uterus

It hurt me at 33 weeks, she prssed pretty hard at that point her but was already all the way up at my ribs and she was in a crawling position head facing back into my spine. They couldnt see her lil girl bits again I was kinda pissed, but they told me at 19 weeks that it was def a girl.
