FAQ's
When can I have my first pregnancy scan?
You can book an early pregnancy scan from 8 weeks. Early scans are ideal for reassurance, confirming your pregnancy, seeing your baby's heartbeat and estimating your due date. Many parents choose an early scan for peace of mind before routine NHS appointments.
Are private ultrasound scans safe?
Yes, private ultrasounds are safe when performed by experienced professionals. At BabyScanUK, all scans are carried out using professional equipment by trained sonographers in a comfortable and supportive environment.
How accurate are gender scans?
Gender scans performed from 16 weeks are highly accurate, as your baby's development allows clear visualisation during the scan. Our experienced team aims to provide the most reliable results possible.
What if I just want extra reassurance during pregnancy?
We offer bonding scans and heartbeat listening sessions which can be booked anytime during pregnancy for extra reassurance and peace of mind between appointments.
How do I know which scan is right for me?
The best scan depends on how many weeks pregnant you are and what you're hoping to experience. Early scans are perfect for reassurance, gender scans allow you to discover your baby's gender from 16 weeks and 4D scans from around 24 weeks provide a detailed bonding experience. If you're unsure, our team is always happy to guide you!
When is the best time to have a 4D scan?
The best time for a 4D scan is typically between 24 and 32 weeks of pregnancy, when your baby has developed more facial features and movements can be seen clearly.
Can I bring family or friends to the scan?
Yes - our scans are designed to be a special bonding experience. We welcome partners and loved ones so you can share these precious moments together in a relaxed environment. Please note, we only allow 1 person to join the mother for early scans,
What should I expect during my visit?
