Paying for scan photos
Show your support
I have my scans at Leigh infirmary and it depends on the person doing the scans, some charge but most tell you not to bother paying xx
that’s wild! no charge in scotland! x
Mine said they charged on my letter but I never paid for any photos they just handed them to me and we went home lol x
My 7 weeks scan they didn’t say about a charge but my 12 week scan she said to just pay for 1 and gave me 6 prints but then said don’t worry I won’t check your receipt, I’m in Nottingham x
I know Raigmore in Inverness Scotland charges and Edinburgh too, the rest is either free or will suggest voluntary donation x
London, St Thomas’. Never paid for a scan photo.
London, Royal Free. Have never paid for any
Some people give you them for free but if you want more than what they give, they charge?
Exeter doesn’t charge - not sure about additional ones though
Bath said on the letter they would charge but no one said anything when we were there, they just gave them to us.
They said it’s £5 per photo here, gave me the photos but never ended up charging me 🤷♀️ thinking maybe it was a mistake 😅
I’m in st Thomas’ in London and I asked if I could pay for more as she only gave one and said no
I’m in Manchester and when I had my first baby there was no charge but now there is and I just find it astonishing. Maybe I’m just getting old… 😂
Stoke mandeville does charge

Three free in North Wales
Chelsea and Westminster in London and didn’t get charged ☺️ I had my two previous babies up North (my first 3 years ago and second nearly 2 years ago) and scans were all in The Friarage in Northallerton and was never charged even though on the letters they said they would be x
Scotland (Lanarkshire) no charge and she gave us about 10 different photos.
Mine said on the letter they are charged and I did have to ask for extra photos but never paid for them, I forgot so Im not saying anything lol 😂 x
UHCW Coventry do
@Claire im also Manchester, but under two hospitals due to being high risk. Fairfield charged £5 per pic or 3 for £10. My next scan is at North Manchester - do you know if / what they charge? Xx
Second baby at Darent Valley in Dartford and always had to pay. £6 a photo!
I’m Mansfield and there is a pay station for photos but my sonographers have always given mine for free ☺️
Oxfordshire - £5 per photo! Xx
Leeds had to pay £7 for two photos
Good hope and heartland are free, but Birmingham women’s you have to pay.
Gloucestershire & never had to pay
St Thomas’ London gives scan photos free of charge. I was given 2-4 photos without even asking.
I got 3 free at my first scan then had to pay £3 each for any extra pics (Sunderland) The lady gave me the 3 free because I was the first person to have a scan with the new machine but I’ve heard of others that get a few free xx
i had to pay in Cumbria for mine but my friend didn’t who’s 8 week ahead of me. So i can only assume they’ve only started for people who’s just got pregnant

Chester hospital don’t charge and no limit on photos, they just give you the good ones, got dozens last time as was having growth scans so new pictures every 2 weeks!
North Manchester was free for me
@Louise I went and they were £5 each xxx
@Jodie Thankyou xxx
East London, Queens £5 a photo!
Kings College London don’t give them at all, you have to take a picture of the screen and the don’t tell you unless you ask at the end!
Birmingham womens charge £5 per print
Taunton (Somerset) £8.50 per photo, and none given free. We were so surprised/ upset, we went to our first scan expecting to walk out with photos. But she gave us a code for MeetMiBaby website and it’s £8.50 a photo. They’re watermarked so cannot screenshot. The lady felt a bit sorry for us and let us take a quick photo of the sonography machine on our phone.
Lewisham (London) gave us 3 free. I was going to ask and then the sonographer printed them off and gave me them just like that. Surprised me as 10yrs ago with my first I had to pay.
Canterbury was free, was given 6 pictures
Epsom, Surrey £5 and we got 3 photos
@Louise I think it depends on the sonographer. Some charge and some give for free - all Manchester trust hospitals (including north Manchester) apparently should charge 😡
Rotherham do
