Pregnancy Scans

A few weeks after finding out I was pregnant with Freddie I decided that I really wanted a private 3D scan. I remember that I wanted one when I was pregnant with Elliw but I just never got round to it. I found somewhere that did a gender scan before 16 weeks. So at 14 weeks 5 days I went to HelloBaby near Liverpool and got my 3D gender scan done. The woman saw that I had two girls and asked if I would like a boy this time - I am not going to lie, I did want a boy. Not long after, she told me I was carrying a little boy! At first I thought she was joking around until I saw the screen and it was just very obvious he was boy. I was over the moon. No words could describe how happy I was at that time. 

I had my normal 20 week scan at my hospital and I was crossing my fingers that the 3D scan was correct, even though I knew it was because it was pretty obvious. I had the scan done and he confirmed that I was carrying a baby boy. That was when I properly started buying baby boy clothes and other items. But the only thing I could think about again was booking another private scan. This time I went to Babybond in Chester at 32 weeks to have a 4D bonding scan. The scan was just amazing. 

At the scan I was a little worried that maybe it will ruin the 'what will he look like' surprise but as I saw my little boy's face on the screen I was so glad I did it. It was truly amazing. He instantly looked like his Daddy with his nose shape. From then on I just couldn't wait until he was born. I do not regret booking the private scans during my pregnancy. They both totalled £100-£130 each scan but I am glad I booked both.
