When did you get your first scan/ ultrasound?

I had one to check dates at 9 weeks and it changed my dates too lol, then I'm going for the ntscan, and then 20 week scan...

With DS I had one in the beginning 8weeks, then 21 weeks morph.

I had one at 6w5d to make sure bubs was okay in there. Saw the heartbeat and all was well. Had the NT scan at 13w2d I think. Next one is next week at 20w2d for the morph scan

I had a dating scan at what I thought was 7 weeks, my dates got changed.

Then I opted for the nt scan at 12 weeks.

We chose to have a 3d scan with a private company at 16 weeks, which was great. We found out the gender at this one.

Then the 20 week anatomy scan, gender was also confirmed at this one.

I have to have one more at 34 weeks as at the 20 week scan my placenta was low and they need to see if it's lifted to determine birth.

I wasnt very happy with my local GP at the medical centre (bad pap smear experience) and so didnt rely on him for any referrals.
In SA they have a Pregnancy info line for women wanting to give birth in public hospital in Adelaide, I rang that number and they gaves me an ID number,which pretty much allowed me to refer myself to the hospital I chose...
Anyway, I had a 'booking' appointment with the midwife at about 8 weeks and she booked me in for a Nuchal scan at 12 weeks and a Morphology scan at 20 weeks.
When I went for my 12 week Nuchal scan, I was out on my dates and only 10wk 6 days, so it turned into a dating scan instead for me.
Then I went back 12 week 6 day for the Nuchal Scan.
And then had my 20 week morphology scan at 19 week 6 days.
I havent paid a cent out of my own pocket yet, all done through medicare.

Also, my hospital are doing a few research studies, I signed up for the asthma study, which gives me 3 more freebie scans, at 18 weeks, 32 weeks and 36 weeks.
The 18 week scan was awesome, the technician was an excellent sonographer and we found out the sex then too (we wanted to).
Looking forward to my 32 week and 36 week scans also.

I am thinking of having a 4D one (that I will have to pay for) as all my family are interstate and i'd like to get some pics and a DVD for them, I will prob do this around 28 weeks.

PS: I only had a Nuchal Scan cos I wanted to see bubs, I am not in risk category and since I'm young DH and I had already decided we'd keep bubs anyway, so just used it as an excuse to see bubs for free!
