Can you get pregnancy scans without your parents knowing?

Question

like to check if its ok and alive

Answer 1

yes as you are in UK its free and totally confidential although they may try and persuade you to talk to your parents.

Answer 2

Yes, it's possible to get ultrasounds without your parents knowledge. There are many free clinics and county healthcare providers available that you can find just be looking through the phone book.

It is imperative for your own health and the health of your unborn child that you seek proper medical attention during the course of your pregnancy. Prenatal vitamins, regular checkups, blood tests, etc. are all a part of making sure that you both are healthy.

Being pregnant and all that it implies is a tremendous responsibility for anyone, even more so when you're underage. You absolutely must consider telling your parents and discussing this with them. This is not something that you should try to shoulder on your own. You'll need their support and guidance at some point. It's better to get it sooner, rather than later.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Wow i couldn't imagine hiding a pregnancy from my parents for much longer. Honey if you need help you should talk to someone from the hospital or you local GP. It sounds as though you are very young if you are trying to keep your pregnancy hidden. You will need support if you are pregnant. You parents will surely be able to support you once they get over the shock. There are worse things in life believe me!
Depends on where you are in the world as to what it costs. If you are on your parents Medicare card (Australia), then you wont have to pay, but your parents will know about it. In other countries you need insurance or you will pay a lot of money. Is there a close family friend that could maybe help you out? maybe also help you tell your parents?

Good luck

Answer 4

You could go to the maternity unit where they do scans on women who think something is wrong but it would depend on a lot of different things and Im assuming that you may be under age and if that is the case I dont know if it would get back to your parents as the hospital would have to let your local GP know that you have been in and if you are under aged I dont know if he has a legal obligation to tell your parents about it? Goodluck

Answer 5

Yes you can. By law, in the UK you are entitled to 100% confidentiality.
It wont be easy to keep it from your parents if you still live at home, but it is possible.
I know everyone is saying to you that you must tell them, but I understand that it isnt easy. If you feel that you cannot talk to them then that is your choice hunny. You do whatever feels right to you. There is plenty I have done without my parents knowing, sometimes they did not need to know, sometimes I didnt want them to know, other times I couldnt face telling them. Even now, at 25, divorced and in a new relationship, I keep plenty from them.
Just make sure you take care of yourself, and only talk when you feel comfortable to do so!
Take care, and all teh best sweetheart.

Answer 6

Go to Planned Parenthood. They can help you, with complete confidentiality. Go now.

If you plan to keep this baby, your parents are going to find out. Face it. I know it's scary, but if they're good parents to you (no abuse, etc.), they can and WILL help you. It's a shock at first, and it may be a difficult few hours/days.......but if you plan on keeping this baby, you're gonna have more than a few difficult days in the years ahead. (Welcome to adulthood! Recess is over.) You're gonna need all the help you can get, and that usually comes from the people that care about you the most. Like your parents.

Answer 7

Sweetheart if you are young enough to worry about your parents knowing you are too young to go it alone, I was young when I had my first, now grown up kids of her own. I can understand that you want to know the situation before telling them but I think things have gone too far to put it off. I'm glad you are sensible enough to take care of your health and that of your baby. As far as I know no-one can tell your parents because of patient confidentiality but they can refer you to social services if they think you or your baby are in any sort of danger Hope everything goes well for you. If you ever want to talk to a granny I can be contacted thru Answers. Good Luck and good health.

Answer 8

Maybe you should tell your parents you know since you made a grown up decision to have sex in the first place. Tell them you are pregnant then get your mom to take you to the doctor. You can go to the welfare office and sign up on a medical card if your parents don't make alot.

Answer 9

yea. when i had my 1st scan my mum still didn't kno i was pregnant! mind, i'm assuming here that you're still at home with them? if ur worried go to the doc's. they'll book u in 4 a scan and can't tell your parents ANYTHING about why you were there or at the hospital. if they do they get struck off and u become one very rich person...sueing culture is great isn't it?

Answer 10

its a good thing that you are thinking about your baby ... part of being a good parent is putting the wellfare of your child before yourself...... If you dont feel comfortable about telling your folks right now... you DO need to get some support and medical help . doctors have an obligation to be descreet about what you tell them so , go and get some help......... the chances are you baby will be fine ... but you will feel better if you have some reassuance and you know in your self you are doing the right thing for your baby ..

good luck ...

Answer 11

YES if you are in the UK you ABSOLUTELY DEFINATELT CAN. Contact your GP. The NHS is sh it in many ways but this isn't one of them. Ask your GP, he/she will keep this confidential. Telling your parents can seem so bad, but being a parent, I'd rather know to help you, I might be angry for several reasons, but you would be my child, and I would love you and want to be there for you, and so would many others, I hope you find the same in yours. Good luck for you both x
