Thanks

Did they give you 3D pics or the normal B&W ones? did you have to pay any extra, or did you have the option to pay extra for anything?

ETA: forgot to ask, what was involved in their "wellbeing check" during the gender determination ?

No it was just the normal black and white ones, we could have paid extra for 4d but i just wanted to know the sex, wasnt fussed about 4d.

I think their wellbeing check is just a quick check to make sure everything that should be there is, if i remember right they do say the gender scan isnt a scan to check for problems.

After our losses it's very important to us we have an accurate anomaly scan and we're struggling abit with our NHS care. I'm really not sure if i should go ahead with Babybond for that though?

That's insane they did gender determination at only 13 weeks, that's really unfair on the parents. By abominal u/s esp it's not accurate until later (although of course they have 50% chance of being right anyway lol). I was told they wouldn't do it until i was 17 weeks.

The early scan with them isn't suppose to be a detailed anomaly though, and many problems can't be seen until after 18 weeks (the ones that do show) so i suppose it's not surprising they missed things at only 13 weeks. Good job you got an NHS scan though just incase you all had to be prepared for anything.

So glad your LO was born healthy!


Did anyone else have an anomaly scan with Babybond?

Yeah 13 weeks is crazy! I tried to book around 17 weeks as DH was on holiday so would have had plenty time to travel but they said no, they recommended later than that for our sakes. As they didnt want us going down earlier, them not being able to tell correctly and then having to go back down again at a later date. My was at 22 weeks and the sex was visable to anyone, not just a trained sonographer!

I do remember being told that the gender scan wasnt a medical scan, ie they werent there to look for problems.
