Yeah you'll get a photo I think it's 2-3 you get and have to pay :)
thank you, will there be card machine or should I take cash

When we got ours we had to pay for each photo we got and payed by car on a little machine that gave us a receipt then took that to the reception

There is usually a machine, like a vending machine, and if you wnat the pics, you can buy them from the machine

How much are they x

I was so baffled by paying this time round but I wonder if because my first was during covid time and you went to scans alone if that was what they did to make it seem better. Ours is £5 for one or £10 for 3 but you usually end up with a few more x

I haven’t had to pay for any of
mine and i’ve had a lot due to complications. Got about 5/6 different stages in photos and haven’t paid for any of them. Always prepared to but they just give them to me

No extras normally though, these are only generally offered at private scans or at baby losses x

We've never had to pay for our scans at two different hospitals. I think it depends on the hospital make sure you tell them you want photos though as some are in such a rush they forget to print them off

You can request to record the heartbeat when they start listening to it but it'll be on your phone etc they don't give you anything bar standard photos although I had one lady try desperately to get a decent face shot for us but our son was in a horrible position so she had to give up
