I'll be just on 6 weeks. May be too early to see the heartbeat, but they should definitely be able to see the yolk sack and fetal pole. If we don't get a heartbeat then will have a follow up scan at 7 weeks. This isn't normal, my GP is just indulging me because I am so freaked out by the possibility of m/c again.
My first scan with Maya was at 8w6d and she looked like a flashing jellybean (the flashing was the heartbeat). So cute!

Emma where do you get yours done? I did mine at Dr Allan's and they do all pregnancy scans for free. May be they have one at your area. I know there is one in Manukau and Manurewa....

I'm having it done at Ak Radiology here in New Lynn. I don't mind paying the $25 tho as it is covered under maternity benefits in my health insurance.

Our first scan was about $30.00 and this next one at 13weeks is $95.00 because we are going to Insight and getting the DVD etc etc....

oh man that seems pricey......I got 2 videos and 2 DVD...(I had loads of scans) and each time free!!!....I guess I was lucky.
I will do the same again for my next baby....I will be high risk again (I think) since I have high BP.

The only cost associated with our anatomy scan was $10 for it to all be recorded on a DVD. Same again for the next one I've been referred for apparently, but I don't think I'll get the DVD this time.

They can sometimes get the heartbeat at 6 weeks. I had mine done at six weeks and instead of doing your stomach they put a long scanner somewhere else!  Slightly embarassing but worth it if you are worried.

I had my first scan (nuchal) at 13 weeks or so at Horizon scanning in West Auckland and it was free, and I have my next scan in a few weeks time (4D) in Mt Roskill and this is also free. I was told I would only be paying if I chose to go to a different place for the scan.

Vick, I had the transvaginal u/s with the baby we lost as they couldn't get a pic externally. I talked to teh lady at the scan place and she said they will definitely try that if they can't get a good external pic.

You need to phone to shop around for scans, for example Insite by the North Shore hospital charge $190 for the 4d scan, Auckland X-Ray group charge nothing (oh you do have to take your own blank DVD or pay $10 for one there). Both have the same qualifications.
The government fund the scans required by your MW with a referal, some places want extra money on top of that and some don't.

I'm in Hamilton and had a referral form from the midwife for both 12wk and 20wk scan. I went to Hamilton Radiology and the 1st scan was free, with the 20wk one costing $30 + $10 for the DVD (note: they don't let you take your own DVD).
Now being diagnosed with gestational diabetes and told that I will need more scans, but they will be at the hospital, and I assume will be free b'cos of the extra care I need.

I had an extra scan (for excessive bleeding) done at Waikato Hospital, and it was free. I assume yours will be too, as they are for your health, not for pleasure, if that makes sense.

Hey Selina,
For your 20 wk scan - do you know what the midwife said? I rung HamRad and they said that without the referral it is $190. Or will the midwife know what to put?
I can't afford to pay $190  but i really want to know the sex!!!

Linelle your midwife should give you a referral for your 20wk scan, if you're worried I would just ask her. My midwife referred us to Medex here in Hamilton, but I think it depends on who they are and where they work as to where they refer you. We paid a small fee of $25 and took our own video tape.
