Booking an Appointment: Parents can typically book an appointment for a private early pregnancy ultrasound scan online or by calling the healthcare provider directly. We don’t believe in waiting lists and you can book a time and date that suits you best. It may be possible to choose a same-day appointment, depending on availability.
Your Consultation: When you arrive for your appointment, you'll have a brief consultation with our specialist healthcare professional. They'll discuss the purpose of the scan and any concerns you may have, whilst gathering all relevant medical history.
The Scan: The ultrasound scan itself is performed in a private examination room equipped with ultrasound equipment. You'll usually be asked to lie down on a comfortable examination table, and a special gel will be applied to your abdomen to help transmit sound waves for imaging. If the pregnancy is less than 8 weeks, your healthcare professional will offer you a transvaginal scan for clearer imaging.
Imaging Process: The sonographer will then use a handheld device called a transducer to emit high-frequency sound waves into your abdomen. These waves bounce off structures inside your body, including the baby, and create images that are displayed on a monitor in real time.
Image Review: During the scan, the sonographer will carefully examine various aspects of the baby's development, including its size, position, movements, heartbeat, and any anomalies. They may also take measurements to assess growth and development.
Discussion and Results: After the scan is complete, the sonographer will discuss their findings with you and answer any questions you may have. They will provide you with printed images or digital copies of the ultrasound pictures to take home.
Follow-Up Recommendations: Depending on the findings of the scan, the healthcare provider may recommend follow-up appointments or additional tests for further evaluation if necessary.
Our Early Pregnancy Scans
Our early pregnancy scans offer reassurance to expectant parents and an opportunity to get an intimate glimpse into the early stages of their baby's development. Typically performed between pre-12 weeks gestation, these scans provide reassurance, confirm the viability of the pregnancy, and offer insights into important milestones like the heartbeat and gestational age.
Our private 2D baby scans are typically recommended between 6 and 12 weeks gestation, aligning with the crucial period of foetal development. However, we understand that every pregnancy is unique, and our services can cater to individual needs and circumstances.
Our goal is to provide expectant parents with peace of mind, all within a supportive and nurturing environment.
