Best to contact your midwife or ultrasound dept as it depends on your local policy not a national thing.

my hospital allows partners to the first scan now but believe this differs from region to region so you'll need to check

On your hospital notes you have a phone number, so call them and they should tell you a policy,

Hi Afrohair , I am 9 weeks pregnant and I got an appointment letter from St. Marys for my 12 week scan. In that it was written I was requested to bring only 1 person... i guess every hospital has its own rules, please check with yours :)

My husband wasn't allowed to come with me for 12 week scan, the sonographer said he might be able to come for my 20 weeks scan, but I should ring up the day before to ask.
