Background

Allow for expecting mothers to have the opportunity to have further scans after 20 weeks, as we feel it’s not the ‘safe zone’ that it’s made out to be.

Additional details

I would like the Government to do this because of my experience, if I wasn’t sent for an emergency growth scan at 32 weeks pregnant, I would have lost my unborn daughter. We feel that it shouldn’t matter the income or how many children they've had, problems can occur at any stage in pregnancy. We feel that not a lot of people are fortunate enough in this situation to be able to afford for private scanning.
