How to prepare

No preparation required, but drinking plenty of water in the two days beforehand improves image quality. The clearest pictures are usually obtained between 26 and 32 weeks. If the baby is facing away or lying low, we will offer a repeat appointment at no additional charge.

Good to know

Coming to a pregnancy scan

You can bring someone

One adult guest is welcome in the room. Please let us know when you book if you would like to bring children, so we can plan the appointment.

If the baby will not cooperate

Babies move, sleep and hide. If we cannot complete the examination we will offer a repeat appointment at no additional charge.

This is not antenatal care

A private scan complements, and does not replace, the antenatal care provided by your maternity unit or midwife.

If we find something unexpected

You will be told on the day, in person, and we will contact your maternity unit or GP with your consent so that follow-up is arranged quickly.

Images to take home

Printed images are included with every pregnancy scan. [TO CONFIRM: whether digital images or USB are also offered, and at what price.]

Gender results

We can write the result in a sealed envelope if you are planning a reveal. Just ask at the start of the appointment.

If you are bleeding heavily, in severe pain, or concerned about reduced movements, do not wait for a private appointment. Contact your maternity unit or attend your nearest emergency department.
