Just got my positive test and im too anxious to wait for the regular checkup schedule. I just want to see if everythings okay. Can i go and pay privately for an early scan or do they not allow it so soon?
Yes paid early scans are easily available, but timing matters for what you can see. I would suggest asking your gynac when is the right week so the scan is actually useful. No point doing it too early.
I paid for an early scan because I was anxious and just wanted to see the heartbeat. Did anyone else do it early just for peace of mind? It really calmed me down honestly.
At my hospital I just asked the front desk and they scheduled an early scan the same week. Best to confirm with your gynac whether it is the right time for it first. The staff there explained the cost clearly upfront.
Yes of course you can pay and get an early scan privately at most diagnostic centres. I did an early dating scan around 7 weeks both times. Just carry your doctors referral if they ask for one.
Early scan usually costs somewhere between 800 to 1500 depending on the centre. I called two three places and compared before booking. Some hospitals charge more so a standalone scan centre can be cheaper.
