UK Mums ?

What week do they do your last scan in the UK, do I get another one after 20 weeks? Thinking about paying for scans anyway just so I can see bub more often

I live in the UK as well.  At 20 weeks I was able to know the sex of the baby. The other scan was at 12 weeks. Good luck!

Thanks ladies, 20 weeks without a scan is so long. I think I'm going to pay for a private one probably around 30 weeks but I'd have one once a week if I could.  My partner wants to find out the sex but I don't, I win cause I have to push bub out ;-)

One at 12 wks to date your pregnancy and then at 20wks for an anatomy scan. The hospital I go will tell you the sex if u request to know but further down south they won't tell you at certain hospitals and you have to pay privately.
I had more scans with my second pregnancy due bp problems. X

Yeah I paid for private to tell me sex but think hospital doesn't tell you now cause they could get it wrong and they don't want to be held responsible for it so they just stopped doing it. My hospital has signs up saying do not as for sex as you will be told we don't do that. X

They do seem way more cautious over here with telling us sex don't  they! I'm on baby 4 and highest percent they have told me is 85% unless you pay private places that if :)

I am in UK too and you get 1 @12w then 20w unless there is problems but to find out sex you need to pay for scan for that as in Scotland they don't tell you sex in the 20w scan anymore

Hi I'm in uk :) the last scan is 20 weeks unless they have concerns like on growth or position etc I had one at 36 weeks as she was breech at 34 but they literally just put it over her head for 2 secs and said head down that was that. Low num of scans here Is a good sign here :)
