Early Pregnancy Unit at King's

[Love_London]

Hi,

Has anyone done an early scan at King's Early Pregnancy Unit?

Do they usually have a long queue and do you need to wait for many hours?

I was advised to have one done and not sure if I can endure many hours of waiting...

Yep - had two fairly recently.

Two and a half hours if you get there after 10am.

Get there at 8.30 and you should be out in an hour.

The doctors are all lovely there though.

I would get there by 8,if not earlier if you can as there was already a queue when we arrived at 8.20am and we were number 5 in the queue.They register you and give you a number,they actually start seeing people at 9.The doctors are great there.Hope all is ok for you.

Yes - think it opens at 8.30am but get there before then and you should be seen fairly quickly. We got there about 8.15am and were 2nd or 3rd in the queue

Yes, I would also recommend getting there as early as possible - from 8am or a bit before - the queue can be very long. Also agree that the doctors were lovely - hope all goes well x

Grab a coffee before you go up (even if you are number 1 you'll be there a little while) and get there by 8

They open doors at 8.30 and start seeing you at 9 so if you are number 2 you'll be all done by 9.30

Staff are lovely

Good luck

Hi,

Just went there before Xmas, and arrived at 8.20 or 8.25am... And we were 6th in the queue. Keep in mind there will be women who are more urgent/have appointments somehow, so add on a couple of places to your place in the queue! We were in for the scan at 10am, but it didn't feel too ridiculously long as A.) they only let you into the room at 9am, B.) my husband bought me some crisps! The scan was speedy but thorough, and the OB/GYN was lovely (German or Eastern European?) and knowledgable.

Good luck and congratulations!

As everyone else has already said, try and get there around 8.15 and hopefully you'll be out by 10 the latest. They've put a lot more effort into the service from 2 years ago to when I used it last week. Lovely staff and very thorough.

Hope all goes well x
