1st Trimester

Requesting an u/s for private pay

So my first ultrasound is set for May 1st.  I am so nervous that we may go in and find that the baby doesn't have a heart beat.  The next day we leave for our destination wedding.  The physician I am seeing is the busiest in town because he is the only physician in town that will do a water birth so I cannot get in any sooner. I just really don't want to get bad news the day before my wedding.

 Is it possible to schedule a private pay ultrasound at a reputable medical facility?  I would rather go in a week early and then have the results sent to my physician and skip the May 1st dating ultrasound and have a normal prenatal appointment.  

I don't really want to push back my first appoitment because by the time we return from the honeymoon there won't be enough time to be sen before the deadline for the NT scan.

  • How many weeks would you be if you went in early and paid out of pocket?

  • If you go in too early you may not hear a heart beat either so it would depend on how far along you would be. On mobile so can't see if you have a ticker

  • I was unable to get into my OB for weeks and I wanted to confirm I was so nervous. I went into a place that is a Women's Center in my local area. Surprisingly enough they did the confirmation pee test and the ultrasound for me for FREE. That's what they'r

  • If your doctor will order it, you can get an ultrasound at probably any imaging clinic.
