Choosing Your Pregnancy Scan
Whether you’re booking an early pregnancy scan, looking forward to finding out your baby’s sex, or planning a later appointment to capture their features and movements, we offer a range of private scans to suit different stages of pregnancy. Each scan has its own recommended stage and inclusions, with full details provided in our individual scan guides to help you choose the right appointment for you.
Early Pregnancy Appointments
An early pregnancy scan can help assess the location of the pregnancy, check for cardiac activity and determine whether there is more than one embryo. What can be seen will depend on the stage of pregnancy, and the scan may be performed abdominally or transvaginally, depending on what is appropriate at the time of your appointment.
Read our Early Pregnancy Scan guide to check the available options and timings.
An Additional Check Between Routine Appointments
A reassurance appointment gives you the opportunity to see your baby, check their heartbeat and take measurements appropriate to your stage of pregnancy. It is designed to complement, rather than replace, your routine maternity care.
See our Reassurance Scan page for appointment details.
Finding Out Your Baby’s Sex
Gender scan appointments are available from 16 weeks and include a wellbeing check alongside 2D images, which are sent to you by email. During your appointment, your sonographer will try to identify your baby’s sex, although this depends on your baby’s position and the views available at the time, so identification cannot be guaranteed.
Explore our Gender Scan appointments.
Adding HD Live Imaging to Your Gender Appointment
An HD Live gender appointment gives you the opportunity to find out your baby’s sex while also capturing enhanced images of their features and appearance. The quality and detail of the images will depend on your stage of pregnancy and your baby’s position during the appointment.
View the HD Live Gender Scan package for timings and inclusions.
Measurements Later in Pregnancy
A growth appointment uses ultrasound measurements to assess your baby’s growth and estimate their size and weight. The scan also includes checks of the heartbeat and amniotic fluid, providing a snapshot of your baby’s wellbeing and measurements at the time of your appointment.
Find out more about our Growth Scan service.
Seeing Your Baby in 3D and 4D
For families looking to capture special images and keepsakes, our 3D, 4D and HD Live scans offer different ways to see your baby before birth. Depending on the scan you choose, you may receive still images, video clips or a combination of both. The views and level of detail captured will depend on your baby’s position, stage of pregnancy and the conditions during the 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 appointment checks your baby’s position towards the end of pregnancy, including whether they are head down, bottom down or lying sideways. The scan provides a record of their position at the time of your appointment, which can be discussed with your maternity team if needed.
Read the Presentation Scan guide for booking information.
Pregnancy Blood Tests at Glasgow City Centre
If you are travelling from Glasgow City Centre for a pregnancy blood test, our Glasgow City Centre clinic offers an Early Gender Blood Test from seven weeks and NIPT Screening from ten weeks.
The early gender test is used to identify your baby’s sex. NIPT assesses the chance of selected chromosomal conditions and is a screening test, not a diagnosis.
