Private scans - SE London or north Kent?

After a recent miscarriage, I have just found out I am pregnant again. I would like to arrange a viability scan privately, but am not sure where to go.

With my DD, I went to the Fetal Medicne Centre, which was really good but is quite a trek from where we are, especially as we are now likely to have a toddler in tow (working part time makes it harder to slope off during a working day as I'm so busy).

Does anyone know anywhere in SE London or Kent that offers this service? If it's Kent, I'm thinking the northern tip - Dartford type direction. I've tried googling but no joy so far.

Lewisham Hospital offers a private clinic on Saturday mornings. The hospital is v. near Lewisham station or is a £5 cab from Greenwich station if you are coming in on the Dartford line. £100 for a viability scan.

Congrats!

On my goodness, Lewisham is majorly convenient for me. My train line! It's so close that, if I can get in, I might even be able to try for their new birth centre.

Brilliant! Thank you so much!

Just another option - clinic called Apeekaboo imaging in Erith, Kent, bit out of the way on an industrial estate but they are soooo lovely there, have had 2 scans with them, viability scans are £80. Congrats and good luck!

Hi secondtimelucky,
I went to a place in sevenoaks which was fabulous.....lovely consultant with a massive plasma screen so you can see everything. www.theavenueclinic.com/
I also went to Kent Medical Imaging who were also great but not as nice. www.kentmedicalimaging.co.uk/
Good luck - I'd go back to sevenoaks but not sure where you live.

apeekaboo in erith kent they are great you can even go on weekends

Ooh, thanks everyone. Erith isn't too bad either. We can drive out there easy enough.

Sevenoaks is a bit far out, but worth bearing in mind (particularly if I convince DH of my plan to move further out, buy a bigger house and have a third Wink)

I love Apeekaboo - they are so incredibly friendly and the midwife who does the scans (and owns the business) is very knowledgeable. It's £80 for a viability scan.

I actually go to them first with every pregnancy because I'd rather get bad news from there than from the hospital where it's pot luck if you get a nice sonographer and nurse practitioner.
