Free Gender Scans For The Pregnant Ladies

Hiya

I had a leaflet about this and thought it would be a scam but it isnt.

Its with a company called innervision, they are based in the north ie leeds, wakefield etc but they also travel around so have odd dates pretty much everywhere. Ive just booked for monday in west bromwich.

You just call 0870 766 1577 to book!!

They didnt ask about where i had heard about it or anything like that but if they do just say it was a leaflet you had through your door, i havent read of anyone being asked for the leaflet yet.

They do the scan in 2d and switch to 4d briefly to give you a glimpse....... in other words to try and get you interested in buying a 4d scan...you dont have to have it, the ladies i have spoken to have just said no and that was it, free gender scan with no hidden costs!!

If you do want the 4d i think its £125 so cheaper than most...upto you, ill just be having the freebie as my little one decided to cross its legs at our last NHS scan.

Worth giving this a call if you do want to know the sex of your bay, not sure where else they travel to but they can let you know that and babybond charge about £90 for a gender scan!!!

Hope someone can use this!!

    Hope there's something like this around when i have my next one. Was a little disappointed when my little one also crossed his legs or something during my 5 month scan. Gave it a second shot after walking around for a while and drinking more water till i was absolutely busting but still no luck!

    Thats what happened to us too...little one had legs crossed, it happens when loads of people ask and alot of the big scan companies are making a fortune out of it charging around £90 just for a gender scan...i cant wait til monday for my freebie!!!

    Just remember scans are to check for things wrong and the bonus is we get to see our babies.
    We subject our kids to so much which we have no control over this although nice is an unneccesary exposure to our unborn child.
    Not many things are not guaranteed in life. This is the one thing we have no control over and we can't wait to find out what the baby is. Who cares what the sex is the fact that they are healthy is all that matters.
    Dont mean to offend just my opinion after trying for 11 years to get pregnant . Son now three years old.

    my first baby was stillborn at 35 weeks, i never knew he was a boy until the day he was born so with my second i found out and had a 4d scan too.....it was amazing and something i would give anything to have of my first little boy, Reece......hence why i am so so keen to see this little one as much as possible!! With Reece we had a scan just 13 days before he was born and nothing showed as wrong so with this one i will be taking every single scan i can get...the more scans the better the chance of picking up on a problem before its too late!!

    I went for my free gender scan today, it was in 4d and AMAZING!!! We are having a little girl this time and we got to see her face etc .... she is gorgeous!

    I can see why some people would like to have a surprise and wait etc but for us thats not the case as for other people which is why i posted about these free scans.....if people dont want to take them up then fine, personally i dont reply to every freebie post that doesnt interest me though...i just say thank you for the ones that do.

    I hope that anyone that does go for one of these really enjoys it, the 4d is great and something not to be missed in my opinion....dont forget you can also get 4d scans where you dont have to see the sex of the baby.

    Thats really nice that you got a good look at your little girl - good luck Ann with the impending birth. Hope all goes really well and enjoy the rest while you can.
