Common concerns

I would strongly suggest going to a professional clinic for Scans under 12 weeks. This company claims to do early scanning between 7-14 weeks but do not have a equipment for early scanning (trans-vaginal). This facility apeared to have a what looked like old equipment. Could not tell from website. As a result the sonographer could not see very much and was pressing down with extreme pressure. I have had pregnancy scans before but not like this! She kept saying I should go to NHS to have it done as she couldn't see properly and said that they can do the other scan. Which confirms they should not be advertising this! All she could see was the sac which I knew would be the case based on date range and wrong equipment. Yet she still took our money and gave us a scan picture which didn't show very much. Within an hour I was showing signs of bleeding. This did not cause my miscarrage but obviously caused some trauma to my body. She was extremely unprofessional and had no empathy. The receptionist was lovely although not professional enough for the environment. The place had a vibe of a run down makeshift beauty room in an old office space. You are made to wait in an area shared with other companies where they hold kids parties etc. If you are looking for 3D or 4D scans and are further on in your pregnancy, but not fussed for something clean and professional then it will tick the box. However, don't go if you are looking for a professional early scan for reassurance. Unfortunately, my partner and I didn't realise the NHS would provide such early scans if you contact them.
I was told a different price over phone, when I had my scan I was charged alot more. The lady who scanned me was the least bit helpful
