"I had to visit King Edward as Wexham was fully..."

I had to visit King Edward as Wexham was fully booked during the dates required for my 12 week Maternity Scan. I was greeted by a friendly receptionist but that's where the nicety ended. The lady who performed my scan I felt was very rude. We had brought my two and a half year old son as we wanted him to feel part of the process of welcoming the new baby and having been through this before we were aware that this was a short scan. Upon calling us in for the scan she turned to my husband and said you will have to take him outside if he makes any noise as we do not allow children into these screenings. I was appalled! At no point had we been told that children were not allowed and I know my son very well to know he was going to behave as he was excited to see the baby and hear the sound of the baby's heart beat which he calls a choo choo knowing that it sounds like a train. And if I had been a single mother with no one to look after my son would she have made my two and a half year old son stand outside by himself?? Needless to say my son was as good as gold through the whole process to which she commented as such afterwards. During the actual scan she mumbled a few things to herself showed us the baby and also only showed us the baby's heart beat. At no point did she let us hear the baby's heart beat which my husband and son were very keen to hear as although I will be able to at midwife appointments this is a rare opportunity for them. My husband also had to ask if everything was ok with the baby as this was also not made apparent. I then had my son ask me continually for about three days why the lady didn't let him hear the choo choo. Also during the scan we were asked if we wanted a photo (which of course we did) and were told then and there that they were £3 each and only cash was accepted. Now my husband and I do not carry much cash with us due to the ease of machines etc. Luckily between us we had £5 so were able to get one photo - this again was not made clear to us at any point during the booking. We then had to wait about 45 minutes to have my blood work taken which was performed adequately. However I spent the entire waiting time attempting to calm myself down after the horrendous scan experience of which should have been magical and very reassuring. While I appreciate the strain the NHS are under to perform services efficiently and as cost effective as possible, I do not believe that should be exchanged for rudeness and a lack of actual service. I would not recommend King Edwards for scanning facilities at all! My only hope is that services are improved so that future expectant mother's actually have an enjoyable scan.
