Your first scan will probably be a dating scan at around 10 weeks to 13 weeks plus six days of pregnancy. Not all hospitals will offer you a picture of the scan to take away, but do ask if you can have one, as it can help you to visualise the little person developing inside you.
You may well be wondering whether you’re having a girl or a boy, however you’re unlikely to find out at this stage. You may be told at your anomaly scan at around 18 weeks to 20 weeks plus six days of pregnancy.
You could also arrange a private 3D or 4D scan later in pregnancy. These scans can give you a clear view of your baby’s features. You may even be able to tell whose nose she’s inherited!
The best time to have a 3D or 4D scan is between 26 weeks and 30 weeks of pregnancy. Private scans can be expensive but seeing what your baby looks like may make prospective parenthood seem more real for you and your partner.
