I'm in Queensland too, gold coast actually and am having the baby through GC hosp but in the shared care program with my GP which means I only go to the hospital to 'book in' at 20 weeks and again at 36 for checkups and then back at 41 if I haven't delivered. Otherwise I see my GP/OB for every thing else.
usually one of two things will happen with the ultrasounds...depending on where they are done. If you get a referral from your doc to an independant place....
Either the ultrasound place will send the films back to the doctors office if you are in a shared care system with the report, but they will give you a little picture to take with you.
This is especially if the ultrasound was bulk billed. The doctor will then hold the ultrasound on file for you.
Or they may ask you to come back anywhere from 2 hours to the next day to collect the films and take them to your doctor at your next visit.
Even if you don't get to keep the whole lot of films from the ultrasound, they will print off a couple of pictures of the baby for you to keep and show off.
I had a dating scan last monday and my films were sent back to the doctor but I have my print out of my little white blob, since it was only 7weeks then! The doctor will keep the films for a while, but I will get them back eventually to keep as a record if I ever need them.
hope that answers you question! Congrats on the baby, and where in Qld are you???

Yep, I'm currently 21 wks preg in Sydney and at my 7 week (dating u/s), 14 week (nuchal translucency u/s) and 20 week (morphology u/s) scans I was given pics without having to ask. At the first one I got 1 pic (not much too see, looked like a jellybean!) at the 2nd I got 4 pics and at the last one I got heaps, 7 or 8. No extra charge and given maybe 2 mins after the scan, I was still putting my clothes back together and wiping all the goo off!
They also asked if I wanted a CD of stills photos for $5 or a DVD of the whole scan for $10.
Good Luck!

Ring them up and see whether they do dvd or video coz you may need to take one of these in for them to put it on, but if they dont do this and you "have a dr appt that afternoon" they will get you to wait around half an hour so you can take them with u, and yes you get them at every ultrasound you have

Im from western australia, and they just give you a cd with maybe one or two pictures of your bubs on it. Im not sure if you have to pay for your scans in sydney but in wa you pay alot so pictures just come free after the scan. Good luck with the rest of your pregancy.

You will probably get a picture if you ask.They may charge you for it(some places are different)Of course you will get it the same day.All they have to do is print it out.And happy birthday mine is on saturday!
