Scans!

I have just discovered I'm pregnant and we are moving to Dubai at the beginning of Jan when I will be 10 weeks pregnant. We are planning to be back in the UK (all being well) in June for two months and I will hopefully have the baby there. I've been told by my GP that I can have an early 12 week scan here before we leave for Dubai (even though I will only be 10 weeks by then), but I wondered about having other consultations and the 20 week scan once we're in Dubai.

I'm not sure I'll be covered by insurance as we'll only just be starting cover in Jan and there may be a wait time until I am covered for maternity costs. Does anyone know how much a scan and/or a consultation would cost?

Thank you!

Yours bloated-ly!
;)

Thank you Daza and Masafi Mama! That has really put my mind at ease. I was expecting them to cost a lot more, so that's a relief!

Hi Cakes, my Dr. is one of the 3 Fetal Specialists in Dubai and she is amazing. It's usually AED 850 for a detailed scan. I have been seeing Dr. Nadia Al Sawalhi at Al Garhoud Private Hospital. She is fab, as are all the staff there - nothing is too much trouble. Good luck :)

I've had all my big scans here done at the Fetal Medicine Centre and have always been very happy with them. You get a very detailed report. I can't remember the cost for the 20 week, maybe somewhere in the region of 1000 AED? The 12 week was 1500 AED but I have a feeling the 20 week was a bit less. http://www.my-baby.net/
