Choosing Your Pregnancy Scan
From early pregnancy reassurance to finding out your baby’s sex and seeing their developing features and movements, our private scans provide options for different stages of your pregnancy.
Each appointment is designed around a particular stage of pregnancy, with its own features and inclusions. Explore our individual scan guides below to learn more about what each appointment involves and find a scan that suits your stage of pregnancy and what you’d like to see.
Early Pregnancy Appointments
An early pregnancy scan provides an opportunity to confirm the location of the pregnancy, check for cardiac activity and identify whether there is more than one embryo. The views and information available will depend on how far along you are at the time of your appointment. Depending on your stage of pregnancy, the scan may be carried out abdominally or transvaginally where appropriate.
Read our Early Pregnancy Scan guide to check the available options and timings.
An Additional Check Between Routine Appointments
A reassurance scan gives you the opportunity to see your baby while checking their heartbeat and taking measurements appropriate for your stage of pregnancy. It provides an additional opportunity for reassurance alongside your routine maternity care, but is not a replacement for your NHS scans or appointments.
See our Reassurance Scan page for appointment details.
Finding Out Your Baby’s Sex
From 16 weeks, our gender scan includes a wellbeing check and 2D images, which will be emailed to you following your appointment. Your sonographer will use the views available during the scan to try to determine your baby’s sex. As your baby’s position can affect visibility, it may not always be possible to obtain a clear view to determine the sex.
Explore our Gender Scan appointments.
Adding HD Live Imaging to Your Gender Appointment
Our HD Live gender scan combines a gender check with enhanced HD Live imaging, allowing you to find out your baby’s sex while capturing detailed images of their developing features. The clarity and level of detail available can vary depending on your stage of pregnancy, your baby’s position and the views possible during your appointment.
View the HD Live Gender Scan package for timings and inclusions.
Measurements Later in Pregnancy
A growth scan uses ultrasound measurements to assess your baby’s development and estimate their size and weight. The appointment also includes checks of your baby’s heartbeat and amniotic fluid, providing a snapshot of your baby’s growth, measurements and wellbeing at the time of your scan.
Find out more about our Growth Scan service.
Seeing Your Baby in 3D and 4D
Our 3D, 4D and HD Live scans offer the opportunity to see your baby’s developing features and movements in greater detail, while capturing special images and moments to keep before birth. Depending on the appointment you choose, you may receive still images, video clips or both. The clarity and detail of the images will depend on factors such as your baby’s position, stage of pregnancy and the views available during your scan.
Compare our 3D Scan Picture Package, 4D / HD Live Scan Package and Interactive 4D / HD Live Scan Package.
Checking Your Baby’s Position
A presentation scan checks your baby’s position during the later stages of pregnancy, including whether they are head down, bottom down or lying sideways. It provides a snapshot of their position at the time of your appointment, giving you information that can be shared with your maternity team if needed.
Read the Presentation Scan guide for booking information.
