Well I had my scan today, and even though it was a necessity (from the bleeding) it was still not bulk billed. It cost me $127 something, and only $50 something of that I get back. My first scans with paris were bulk billed, and they even bulk billed my 11 wk scan cos she was really nice. But I doubt they'll do that for me this time The only reason I would think the 12 week should be done at 12 weeks, is perhaps to get a more exact measurement of the nuchal fold, but if you are happy to pay for both I don't see why it would be a problem. Check with your Dr, and see if there are any medical benefits of having one rather than the other.

Goodluck!
