    Any recommendations? I am 15 weeks and want to get one done at 16 weeks for a little reassurance. Only stopped hormones (progesterone) at 13 weeks so want to make sure all is ok since then.

    Rang the place in Tirellan Heights and they said they dont deal with pregnancies resulting from fertility treatment! I just want to them check for a heartbeat and that all is measuring ok.

    Have rang the one in Oranmore but had to leave a message so will see what they say.

    Is it just me or is it a little bizarre for them to say that?

    Lashes, have you had your maternity scan yet? when's your appointment? You might be able to book something in UHG if you ring them.

    I can only assume that it's because they only have expertise in scans up to a certain number of weeks and after that it becomes ante-natal care rather than early pregnancy and the skillset required is different.

    Not worried - just want reassurance really. The more scans the better!

    They rang me back and said it was fine so I am booked in next Friday.

    No Neyite, they do all types of scans up to 36 weeks. They said we should be able to tell the gender next week but we havent decided if we want to know or not.

    Yes had my 12 weeks scan but then stopped the hormones at 13 weeks so its just to be sure all is still ok. I doubt the maternity dept would give me another scan for no reason?!

    I know what you mean - if I could have gotten a scan every week I would have. I think at 13 weeks though I got a good doppler so that helped with the nerves and wondering if all was ok in there after that until the point where I could feel movement for myself.

    Glad you got a call back and an appointment :)
