Instagram Fraud, Pregnancy Scans, Ugg Boots

Have you paid for a scan while pregnant? Let us know youandyours@bbc.co.uk

You and Yours reveals the latest Instagram fraud, which involves not only scamming you out of your money, but hijacking your account in order to scam your family and friends. We hear from a woman who sent 拢1200 to scammers, and lost control of her phone and Instagram account.

A growing number of women are paying for private scans during their pregnancy. In Which's survey last year of 1000 parents-to-be, 30% had paid for a private scan. Typical reasons are for reassurance, to get a clearer photo or to find out the sex. However there are concerns that medical issues are sometimes being missed. We hear from Kate Richardson from The Birth Company in Harley Street London, and Dr Daghni Rajasingam, consultant obstetrician and spokesperson for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
