Ultrasound Direct Hull — Local services in Great Britain

I have had 3 scans at ultra-sound direct in Hull so far this pregnancy. I had an early reassurance scan at 6+2 (by lmp), then another reassurance type scan at 9+6 (by lmp) to make sure everything was still okay before telling family, and then I had my gender scan at 16+5 (by nhs dating). All 3 scans I loved. The reception staff are lovely and friendly and the sonographer is also lovely and friendly. She does a thorough job of checking on baby and reassuring you. She also asked each time something like 'Is that okay?' before she stopped scanning. I felt comfortable and the big tv that you get to see baby on is awesome. The gender scan comes with a little 4d viewing as well as 3d images. Each scan included prints (the later scans had a fair few prints too) along with all pictures and videos being downloadable from a link they send you. Some private places seem to charge extra for prints which I just think is crazy when you're already paying for a private scan. Thankfully ultra-sound direct includes them for free (or in with the price)

I would like to say not a good experience, because of the followings:

1. when the test done I should take the blood sample to drop it to the mail to send to London on that time Saturday post office was closed I looked for another one but it was Saturday and the post office said will send the blood to London on Monday , so 2 days the blood only in the post office.
2. why not from the beginning the admin don’t say that we should do this?about the office.
3. they said on Monday will have the result but still nothing received and don’t know what kind of result it will be if the blood in the post office for more than 2 days.
4. why no lab nearest than London?
5. only positive thing that you take the blood sample on time but bad end.

I don’t recommend this...

My second time coming here and the experience was shocking first the woman who was doing my gender scan said she didn't like the sound of my baby's heart when she was trying to take a video to put into the teddy. Second thing i didn't like when she was trying to find the sex of my baby she was huffing as my baby had its legs crossed they she proceeded to bounce the ultrasound controlled piece of my belly and kept huffing and puffing then said i can get up now I'm sure i’m certain i have the gender, now I'm thinking twice if its right and has said a girl as a easy way out. Also, you have to pay for your baby's photos on the email which...
