Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Firstly i don't know where to start. I am thinking i may need a private scan so the boys can see their brother or sister, but i'd also like to maybe get one done earlier than my first booked one. I know they can be costly and i'm not sure if anywhere near me even does private scans I'm in the havering area which is inside the m25 on the outskirts of London.
I'd rather not go into London though so Essex/Southend would be a better direction. Does anyone know where i can start looking.

Get Googleing !! Thats what I did and then I rang round and compared he packages and got what I thought was the best deal. The quick and easy but not the cheaoest way is to simple contact your nearest BUPA hospital - thats what my sister did. She paid about £150 for a standard 2D scan with them so not cheap. I've just had the NT scan which my NHS trust dont offer as standard and that was £190 but obv thats a screening scan and not just reassurance. I'm paying £65 for a basic 20min 3D scan - this only includes limited pictures. Depends what you are looking for.

googled it thank you

found 2 near to me in different directions one dosen't scan till 18+ weeks though and the other does an early scan for £90 which i think seems reasonable enough, unless i find somewhere else cheaper.

The one I'm going to say they dont scan til 20 weeks but when I rang them they said so long as you only want it for reassurance and not for any screening then they would do it - so its worth asking. I'm going at 16wks.

i'll need to discuss it properly with OH anyway as he'll be paying but would i get an appointment before my 12 week scan?

I wouldnt have thought so. I'm taking my daughter to my 20 wk scan - so theres more to see.
