Have you just found out you’re expecting?

Make it all feel real with our early pregnancy scan from just 8 weeks gestation. Our comfortable private clinic will help make this time even more unique, allowing you to see your pregnancy. Before the six-and-a-half-week mark, we may not be able to see a foetal pole or heartbeat, but a further pregnancy scan will detect this.

Our private early pregnancy scan is recommended if you’re experiencing pain, have a history of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, IVF treatment, or long-term medical conditions. All the pregnancy scans are performed by qualified sonographers who are experienced in the obstetric scanning area.

If this is your first pregnancy, don’t forget you need a full bladder when you come for your first scan, as this is how we can obtain clearer images for you. We recommend that you drink at least one pint (0.5ltr) of water before your scan, so it’s easier for us to see a clear view. If possible, please refrain from emptying your bladder just before your scan. Routinely a trans-vaginal scan will be offered if it is too early.
