Early scan help!

Hello! I just got booked for a scan with the NHS, which won't be before December. I would like to book an early scan before then as I'm both impatient and worried. How do I go about it? I'm based in South East London and am ensured on my husband's Vitality insurance. I have no idea how to book this! Thanks!

There are many places you can book private scans best to go from 6.5 weeks onwards to see things. Window to the womb, meet your miracle, google private places local to you 😊 x

I have booked one in a couple of weeks at the baby suite in near Lee Green. I have heard that is it best to go when you are 7 weeks or more as you can see more x

There are soooo many places like Katie said. Range from about 75 to 130 quid from looking depending on what scan you can or indeed will book. I would leave it to about 7-8 weeks to see something but they can't do one within 2 weeks of an NHS scan so bare that in mind when booking a date!

Thank you! And we agree this wouldn't be covered by any insurance right? I just find a clinic and book? I'm currently 5+5

I don’t believe it is covered by insurance but you would need to double check. I just found a clinic and booked. I paid around £80 for mine x

No, I don't think it would be covered under insurance because it's not an essential medical procedure. It's just an additional scan because you want to see the baby. Totally fine but you will have to pay yourselves. As others have said, I wouldn't do it before 7 weeks, as there won't actually be much to see before that point! Just Google and find one in your area.

Im in south east London and have used peek a baby in croydon for my last 3 babies and had an early scan with them today for number 4. They have been absolutely fantastic with all of mine, better than my experience at window to the womb a few years ago and very reasonably priced at £49 with a free rescan if its too early to see a fetal pole as it was in my case at 5+2 today

Ultrasound direct do private scans £75 x
