    Hi,

    My girlfriend is approx 6 months pregnant and hasnt got her scan...she was worried about people finding out. However when booking in for a scan the date they gave her is practically when she is due, even thought she told them how far she was..i am really worried and not sure what to do. any suggestions?

    She could go for one privately but if you can't afford it I would get on to your maternity hospitals fetal assessment department and explain how concerned you both are. Maybe they can put you down for cancellations or as an emergency case. Is this your first child? If it is then I would be on to the hospital straight away. Also your GP may be able to help push it forward.

    She should call up the number and explain to them. She needs to be seen ASAP. She has to put her own health and that of the baby above the fear of people finding out. They're all going to find out pretty soon anyway.

    Even if she went to a GP (not necessarily her family one).

    Why does having a scan mean people would find out? She should have seen a doctor as soon as she found out she was pregnant and lot left it so late.

    She needs to speak to your GP and convince the doctor to help you get an appointment sooner rather than later. You could go private - http://www.ultrasound.ie/maternity.html do scans for under €200

    No need to be brutal , but tell her you won't take no for an answer.
    Take no chances.
