FAQs
Straight answers — designed to help you book confidently.
Which scan should I book for my stage?
Early Pregnancy (6–10 weeks), Dating (11–14 weeks), Anatomy/Anomaly (18–22 weeks), Growth & Wellbeing (24–40 weeks), 4D & Wellbeing (24–34 weeks), or Reassurance (any stage).
Do private scans replace NHS maternity care?
No. Private scans complement NHS care. Please continue all NHS antenatal appointments and screening scans.
Can I get a same-day appointment?
Often yes (subject to availability). If you need urgent clinical assessment due to symptoms, NHS urgent pathways remain the correct route.
Do I receive a report?
Yes — a same-day report is delivered via Medifile, with images and short clips where obtainable.
What does “where obtainable” mean for clips/4D images?
Quality depends on fetal position, gestation, maternal factors and fluid. Diagnostic views remain the priority.
Can I have a transvaginal scan?
In early pregnancy, transvaginal ultrasound can be offered if clinically helpful and only with your consent.
Can you confirm a heartbeat at 6 weeks?
Sometimes. Very early pregnancies may not show a heartbeat yet. We document what is visible and advise whether a repeat scan is useful.
What if my dates are uncertain?
Book an Early Pregnancy or Dating scan depending on your estimated stage. Add your best LMP/EDD estimate in booking notes.
When is the best time for a 4D scan?
Typically 24–34 weeks. Facial views can still be limited by fetal position — we aim for the best achievable images.
Can you guarantee I’ll get perfect 4D face images?
No clinic can guarantee this. We try best, but fetal position and other factors can limit facial views.
Can you tell the gender?
From around 16 weeks, if views are clear and reliable. We do not guess if the view is limited.
Do I need a full bladder?
It depends on gestation and the scan type. If you’re unsure, arrive normally hydrated. We’ll guide you during the appointment.
Can I bring my partner/family?
Usually yes, but it can depend on room size and clinic policy. Keep it small so the scan remains calm and clinical.
What if I’m worried about reduced fetal movements?
Contact NHS maternity triage immediately. Do not wait for a private scan.
What symptoms mean I should seek urgent NHS care?
Heavy bleeding, severe pain, shoulder-tip pain, dizziness/fainting, feeling very unwell, or urgent concerns — contact NHS urgent services.
Can ultrasound detect every condition?
No. Ultrasound has recognised limitations. We document what was seen and what could not be confirmed.
What’s included in a Growth & Wellbeing scan?
Biometry measurements for growth estimate, wellbeing observations, placenta/fluid overview, and Doppler where clinically indicated.
How accurate are growth estimates?
Estimated fetal weight has a recognised margin of error. We interpret results in context and explain what they mean.
Do you scan twins?
Yes — twin appointments are tailored to gestation with documentation for each baby and clear limitations explained.

4D & Fetal Wellbeing Scan (£100)
This appointment combines a gestation-appropriate wellbeing review with 4D imaging. The scan is performed by a clinical specialist sonographer and focuses on clear documentation, explanation of findings, and safe signposting if anything needs further assessment.
Who this scan is for
- People who want a wellbeing check in the later second or third trimester and would also like 4D images.
- Most suitable between 24 and 34 weeks, when facial views are more commonly achievable (but still dependent on fetal position).
What we may look at (depending on gestation and views)
- Fetal heartbeat and observed movements during the appointment.
- Brief fetal anatomy assessment appropriate to gestation, within the limits of the scan.
- Fetal position (lie/presentation) and an overview of placental position.
- Amniotic fluid overview appropriate to gestation.
4D imaging
- We attempt 4D imaging after the clinical portion of the scan.
- Quality depends mainly on fetal position, gestation, maternal tissue, and fluid volume.
- If the face is not well seen, we will be honest about the limitations and focus on the best achievable views.
What you receive (digital-only)
- Same-day report delivered securely via Medifile.
- 2D images from the scan.
- Short video clips where obtainable/recorded.
- For this scan: high-quality 4D images and a short 4D clip where obtainable.
Early Pregnancy (Viability) Scan (£90)
An early pregnancy scan is a focused ultrasound assessment in the first trimester. It is commonly used to confirm a pregnancy in the uterus (where possible), assess for expected markers of viability, and estimate gestation.
Who this scan is for
- If you have a positive pregnancy test and want confirmation of pregnancy location and early development.
- If you have uncertain dates and want an early estimate of gestation.
- If you have symptoms such as mild pain or spotting, alongside appropriate NHS advice.
What we may look at
- Whether a pregnancy is seen within the uterus (when gestation allows).
- Early developmental features appropriate to gestation.
- Heartbeat when expected by gestational age.
- Number of pregnancies (singleton vs multiple) where visualisation is clear.
- Uterus and ovaries overview when clinically relevant.
Transvaginal ultrasound
- In very early pregnancy, a transvaginal scan can provide clearer images than an abdominal scan.
- It is offered only when clinically helpful and only with your consent.
What you receive
- Same-day digital report and 2D images via Medifile.
- Short clips where obtainable/recorded.
Dating Scan (£90)
A dating scan uses fetal measurements to estimate gestational age and your estimated due date (EDD). It also documents key findings appropriate to gestation, including confirmation of fetal heartbeat and whether there is a single or multiple pregnancy when views allow.
When it is usually done
- Commonly between 11 and 14 weeks.
What we may look at
- Measurements used for dating and EDD estimation.
- Heartbeat and general development appropriate to gestation.
- Number of fetuses where visualisation is clear.

Gender & Fetal Wellbeing (£90)
This scan includes a gestation-appropriate wellbeing review and (if requested) fetal sex confirmation. We only provide fetal sex when visualisation is clear. If views are limited, we explain why and we do not guess.
When it is usually done

What we may look at
- Heartbeat and observed movements during the appointment.
- Brief fetal anatomy assessment appropriate to gestation, within the limits of the scan.
- Fetal position and a basic overview of placenta location.
- Fluid overview appropriate to gestation.
Fetal sex (if requested)

What you receive
- Same-day digital report and 2D images via Medifile.
- Short clips where obtainable/recorded.
Detailed Anatomy / Anomaly Scan (£190)
A structured, detailed anatomical assessment performed in the mid-pregnancy window. This is delivered in line with recognised screening scope and documentation (FASP-aligned approach), and complements NHS screening rather than replacing it.
When it is usually done
- Typically between 18 and 22 weeks.
What we may assess (as views allow)
- Head/brain views, facial profile where obtainable, and spine views.
- Heart and chest views appropriate to screening (dependent on fetal position and image quality).

What we may look at
- Growth measurements used to estimate growth and EFW.
- Brief fetal anatomy assessment appropriate to gestation, within the limits of the scan.
