Do you get to go back another time? Surely it wouldn't cost extra?

Should I phone to check their policy before I go?

They asked me to walk around for 20mins or until I felt the baby do a big kick.

It worked

I think they usually get you to walk around/have a drink etc (I think I read the other day that someone was at a scan place for three hours trying to get a look!) but then if you still get nowt then they book you a (probably shorter) second appointment. Probably worth checking though (doesn't it say on their website?)

No, nothing on the website.

I think I will call to confirm that they do try until they get a clear view

Thanks x!
