it's great to hear that there are more people out there that choose to skip the nuchal translucency scan but still decide on the 20 week scan. I had a dating scan at 6 weeks mainly because my GP didn't believe me when I told her I knew when I Ovulated. She insisted that ovulation doesn't change the due date (needless to say, I have changed doctors since). She kept saying I was 9 weeks instead of 6, but the u/s prooved that I was right. The only other scan I had was the 20 week scan. I also do want to see my bub again, but I want to see it in reality, not on the u/s. I wanna hold and cuddle him/her.
To me, seeing bub on the u/s is a bit surreal and doesn't really awaken motherly feelings iykwim. It gets a lot more real when I can feel & see bub move. So I don't really have that u/s craving, but I can understand it nevertheless.
I've had two medical scans, one at about 15 weeks and one at about 20 weeks. Since they were both fine and as SuperBub is in the correct position, etc, I was told that I wouldn't need any more. I did want to see SuperBub again though, so booked in for a 4D scan (in a clinic that didn't require a referral). It did cost over $200, but was fully worth it, especially as since SuperBub had her hand over her face, they gave me another appointment for free.
