Can I get scan pictures?

[eastview]

Hi everyone. I had a MC in May last year and I had multiple scans and my MC was missed. Is there a way that I could get a copy of them do you think? I never saw my baby at the hospital and I am finding it all a bit hard to deal with and I think it may help if I could get a copy of the scan. Has anyone requested this and been successful? Thanks in advance

I'm sorry for your loss OP.

Yes I think you could. Contact the epu and ask if there are copies on file or electronically that you could have.

I had many miscarriages. When I was pregnant with Dd I always left the picture on my file as I couldn't face bringing it home incase something happened. When she was born they brought me an envelope with all the pictures on my file. It wasn't until I looked over it months later I realised it contained all the previous loss scan pictures as well.

I hope you are ok, it's really hard.

Thank you so much @icedaisy I think I'll give the hospital a call in the morning and ask. I'm so sorry to hear about your losses. It's so hard. When I was having my scan the lady wouldn't show me the screen so I wasn't sure if I could request a copy as it wasn't offered to me at the time x

Yes give them a call. I always think it's better to know, then you don't keep wondering. If they say no then at least it's an answer.

Do you have a local support service? One thing that was offered to me was a tree in a garden of rememberance. This was a local project but somewhere quiet to go and reflect.

Dh struggled with that idea but I took great comfort from the sanctuary of the place.

I'll definitely call tomorrow thank you @icedaisy . That sounds lovely I wish I had something like that...to be honest they didn't offer me any help at all. I suffered from PTSD afterwards and was offered counselling which I was told would take about 9 months on the waiting list. Luckily I can get that free of charge from my employer so it doesn't take as long but the hospital or my doctor offered no real support. The baby was taken away for testing and I never heard back from that either. I asked multiple times but nobody ever seemed to have an answer

That's terrible op. Start with a call today and if no response a letter to hospital management.

Take care.
