Need a CVS test in the midlands - any advice

I've been burying my head in the sand and am now in a terrible pickle.

My first pregnancy was terminated at 25 weeks after the discovery of a chronic chromosomal disorder. It was traumatic, but my local scanning centre was the Harris Birthright Trust in London and they were amazing.

I followed that with two successful pregnancies and then another termination (about 14 weeks) after a horribly managed CVS revealing the same disorder.

I'm now pregnant again, about 9 weeks, in yet another location and I should have got my act together sooner. I can't have a CVS test till I've had a dating/viability test and it doesn't seem I'm going to be able to speed up the NHS so will have to go privately.

Does anyone know anything about the Fetal Imaging Centre in Banbury/Leamington? Or can anyone recommend anywhere else for viability scans or CVS tests? We don't really have the money to do all this privately, but after last year's experience we'll find the money to go somewhere good.

Hello - I'm sure you've already sorted yourself out by now but if you haven't, I can strongly recommend Birmingham Heartlands Hospital for a CVS test (we had Mr Chris Wyldes). The midwives were lovely and Chris apparently has vast experience of doing CVS tests.

Fingers crossed for you. x
