    Hi,

    Just wanting to find out where people got their early private scan done. We are 7 weeks gone and not going to get our 1st scan till 20ish weeks. We are wanting one at 12ish weeks, to make sure everything is going fine(which im sure it is) and to rule out muiltable babies (while I have a feeling there is). I have twin brothers, she has twin brothers and Uncle and aunt that are twins so it is running strong on both sides!

    We live in Wexford. She works in Bray and I'm woring in Carrickmines.

    I went to the Orwell clinic in Rathgar for an early scan and we were very happy. They do Sat/evening appointments too so we didn't have to miss any work.

    Also there is a place on Blackrock Main Street which might be handier for your work locations. It's called Ultrasound something or other and I've heard good things about it.

    we had some private scans done in mount carmel and in ultrasound dimensions in blackrock. I preferred ultrasound dimensions - however, mount carmel definitely do Saturday scans. there wasn't much between them to be honest - just felt like I was more on a conveyer belt in MC. UD had a much nicer vibe - less rushed.

    We went to Mount Carmel and found it great. The reason I recommend there over the other private clinics is that they have consultants on call who can come to the clinic if there's anything abnormal or that needs further looking at.
    The other scan clinics only have ultrasound technicians who can point out if there's any issue but can't do much more which can mean an anxious time between visiting the clinic and your GP/maternity hospital.

    Obviously the ideal outcome is for everything to be fine and then all clinics are fine, but god forbid something isn't its nice to have that reassurance.
