hi ourlux,

i wanted an early scan, just to see how things are...
my gp said it wasn't nessesary, but i went back and insisted i wanted a refferal.

the excuse i used: i said that as my nuchal scan is booked for 11.5 weeks and its the week before xmas, i wanted a dating scan to confirm my dates. as the nuchal can only be done 11-13wks, i didn't want a situation where i turn up the week b4 xmas, only to be told i was13+ weeks (in which case it'd be too late for a NT scan), or 10 weeks (in which case i'd miss my NT scan because of xmas and NYE!). my gp thinks i'm a lil obsessive on the details, lol but she reffered me.

I had the dating scan last week and found out i was ahead of my dates, but my NT scan can still go ahead as i'll be 12+weeks.

maybe you can try the same reason? you just want to be sure of the exact dates
the girls are right though - you will have to pay - it cost me $195!!

Jx
