    :o:o:o yep I was offered them to be done at either Leigh hosp or TLC in wigan I picked TLC coz they have newer scanners so better picks :D
    I was at leigh last time but both times I have declined bloods and NT part of the scan so technically there's two going spare

    Right - I shall be finding out about that tomorrow. Thanks hun

    I'm sure with your contacts you could get it sorted I reckon its even worth changing GPs and then back again later if it saves a trip to l'pool and £150!!

    Well, I could see if I could transfer to Wigan or even see if I can get booked in at Wigan (pretending I've not booked in at Wazza) and then after scan and blood test get transferred back to Wazza. If that doesn't work, I'll see if they can process my bloods as I could get the scan done seperately for £100.

    I didn't actually get a choice on what hospital I wanted to give birth in - might do some investigating tomorrow.

    I got offered Wigan or Bolton but they said I could have insisted on l'pool womens or wazza too, but I was happy with wigan last time and I probably won't have time for traveling any distance!

    I have just looked on website http://www.wiganleigh.nhs.uk/Internet/Specialties/maternity.asp

    It doesn't say anything about NT scans :confused: I will def find out tomorrow and let you know what I find.

    I've only had one creme egg - is it me or are they really expensive now?

    off to bed now - night Sami xx

    night night. I know you can't get them privately from wigan,
    maybe I'm confuzzled again :o is the nuchal fold classes as a softmarker?? maybe wigan only do the bloods :confused: I'd kno more if I'd had them I'm sure, think I've thrown away the leaflet coz I knew I wasn't gonna have it

    probably.
    its a whole area that i am just realising i know nothing about.
    think i need to speak to my friend who went with the same hospital as i am. see if she can help me. cos i know different hospitals/trusts offer different things. but from what i can see mine offer NT scans as well as the bloods.

    any hoo off to bed!!
    night everyone
