I had the scan done on the 12th september, mainly so i could make sure baby was even there (id had 2 miscarriages already this year) It cost me $165 and i cant claim any of it back. Im only 25 so i had the scan done by choice even though it is my second baby and the first turned out fine. with my first i didnt have the scan, only the one at 18 weeks. mMy risk came back at 1 in 14000 chance that the baby would have it.
