Frequently asked questions
Is the Late Reassurance and Wellbeing right for you?
Our late reassurance and wellbeing scans are for women who may want general reassurance, or who have concerns about their pregnancy for any reason between 14 and 40 weeks.
The following are common indications that can be easily checked with ultrasound:
To provide a second opinion
As reassurance
Reduced movement patterns of the baby
Bleeding or fluid loss
To assess the baby’s position
To check the growth of baby
What checks are carried out in the Late Reassurance and Wellbeing?
During the scan, the following basic checks will be confirmed for you:
See and hear baby’s heartbeat
Measurements of the head, tummy and femur (from 24 weeks onwards)
Estimated fetal weight (from 24 weeks onwards)
The volume of amniotic fluid surrounding the baby
Doppler blood flow in the umbilical cord to assess the function of the placenta (from 24 weeks onwards)
The position of baby and placenta
What extras will this scan include?
Following the scan, you will be provided with the following to take home with you:
Full obstetric report including gestational age and estimated weight
Three black and white photos (optional extra prints available on request)
Short complimentary video clip sent directly to your mobile
4D scan sneak peek
How is the Late Reassurance and Wellbeing carried out?
Late reassurance scans can be carried out ‘transabdominally’, by scanning over your tummy.
What if I need to cancel my aapointment?
We do take a non-refundable deposit of £25 upon booking. In the case that you need to amend your booking, please call our team on 01753 358123 and we would be happy to assist you in changing your appointment.
Can I bring my friends, family and children to the scan?
We usually welcome family and friends to appointments, and allow up to four extra people (excluding yourself and your partner) as it’s a lovely experience to share; however, please see our Coronavirus Preventative Measures on the main website for further up to date information on this.
What do I need to do before my scan?
It’s useful to come for a full bladder so that we can get the best possible view of your baby. Please otherwise eat and drink as normal. It can also be a good idea to bring a chocolate bar or something sugary to have if baby is not in a favourable position on the day!
Will you tell me if you find a problem?
Ultimately, the wellbeing of yourself and your baby is our highest priority.
For this reason, if any problem were identified during your scan, you would be informed by your Sonographer so that you can be checked at your next midwife/ hospital appointment. With your permission, we would contact your midwife/ GP on your behalf, to refer you on to them.

Testimonials
What our patients say...
Easy to book, answered all questions we had just an amazing experience start to finish. Took our little girl in to me her new brother or sister and was welcomed by the staff which I know some places don’t allow young children in so this was a brilliant bonus. Would highly recommend to anyone.
J Marshall
We had a really lovely experience here, it’s the first private scan we had and was well worth the money.
Eisher was so friendly and kind, made us both feel really comfortable. My partner felt a lot more involved seeing the larger screen.
I would highly recommend, always great to support small local businesses as well!
Louise Huntley
Lovely and friendly people, very clean. Massive screen on the wall for you to see the baby. The best Ultrasound Clinic I’ve been to.
