Ultrasound appointment

I asked the other day and they said they tend not to want children there because they really need to concentrate but if things happen that can’t be helped. Depends what age your kid is maybe put them in a buggy strapped in with a phone or something to keep then occupied whilst you’re being seen too

NHS never let me take my son in with me sadly, hopefully they let you but I doubt it😢 probably make you reschedule.

I’ve had to take my son (16m) to 2 scans so far as I just didn’t have childcare, none of them mentioned it, if anything they were happy to see him. Maybe depends on the age? Both scans at Aberdeen maternity hosp, one in the rubislaw ward and one in the scanning department x

I took my 2yr old daughter at the time she sat in her pram in the corner of the room watching cocomelon at a low volume the technician made such a stink about it constantly saying she couldn’t concentrate and I really shouldn’t of had her there… she didn’t make a sound she ended up ending the appointment and telling me I needed to rebook.

I am based in Aberdeen and sometimes couldn't sort out childcare for my 4 yo and took him along to ultrasounds which was fine and they were understanding

I've had to take my 14 month old to every scan as been myself and have no family to help. Partner at work etc. Everytime bar one it's never been mentioned. One time I was if I was alone etc and I said yes, didn't look too impressed but as long as they can get what they need done then shouldn't be an issue. Plenty snacks or low volume screen time should be all good :) any other department I've been to minus scan have all loved seeing bubs. Even watching her while I did a wee sample cos I wouldn't fit her in the small room 😂 think depending on the sonographer, worst case they'll reschedule. If that had happened to me though I'd have had to speak to higher up as even rescheduling wouldn't have changed our situation other than the sonographer as my baby would be with me regardless due to no help haha xx
