Did you know where we started? 💛

From bare walls and a vision… to the warm, welcoming clinic you know today.

This was our very first year of Ultrasound NI—capturing the journey from renovation to opening our doors and caring for our first patients.

We are now almost 2 years on, with additional rooms, new services, and an ever-growing team… and we are so grateful to every single person who has supported us along the way 🤍

A new updated version is definitely due… but for now, we wanted to re-share where it all began ✨

Breaking the Silence on Endometriosis 💛

We were deeply moved reading the story of a local woman from Belfast who has bravely shared her journey of living with undiagnosed endometriosis for many years.

Her experience highlights something we see far too often—women enduring ongoing, severe pelvic pain, heavy periods, and life-disrupting symptoms, only to face long delays in getting answers.

Endometriosis can take years to diagnose, and in that time, many are left feeling unheard, dismissed, or unsure where to turn.

Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows outside of it, often affecting the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and surrounding pelvic structures. It can cause significant pain, impact fertility, and affect day-to-day life in ways that are often underestimated.

Stories like this are incredibly important. They raise awareness, encourage open conversations, and remind women that their symptoms are valid—and deserve to be taken seriously.

At Ultrasound NI, we are passionate about supporting women on their journey to answers.

If you are experiencing ongoing pelvic pain, painful periods, pain during in*******se, or unexplained symptoms—please don’t ignore them.

Early assessment can be the first step towards understanding what’s going on and getting the support you deserve.

You are not alone, and there is help available 💛

Woman says endometriosis 'stole her life' after years of pain without answers

Not all heroes wear capes… some wear running shoes and carry their babies 💗

Laura Kenny ran 26.2 miles and completed the London marathon last weekend, and then ..straight back to mum life — feeding her little one like it’s just another day.

No gloss, no filters; just real, raw strength.
Showing up, even when it’s tough. Especially when it’s tough.

The Olympic champion was running for The Ectopic Pregnancy Trust and kept it very real about the experience: ‘Not even going to pretend I enjoyed it because I absolutely did not!’. Yet she still managed to finish in an impressive 3 hours 45 mins!

When we scan the female pelvis, we don’t just look at organs — we also look at how they move 👀

In this clip, the right o***y is seen “stuck” to the uterus.
Normally, these structures should glide smoothly past each other — but here, they don’t.

This is what we call a negative sliding sign.

👉 In simple terms, it can suggest there may be scar tissue or adhesions causing things to stick together

👉 This is often seen in ENDOMETRIOSIS

This patient has been experiencing ongoing pain on her right side, along with other symptoms that can be linked to endometriosis such as:

• Painful periods
• Pain during or after in*******se
• Bloating
• Pain when going to the toilet (especially during periods)
• Ongoing pelvic discomfort

These symptoms are common — but they are not something you have to just put up with 🤍

If this sounds familiar, an ultrasound scan can be a helpful first step towards answers and the right support.

⚠️ Ladies these symptoms should not be ignored.

Knowing the signs of ovarian cancer could save lives.

Look out for:
• Persistent bloating
• Feeling full quickly
• Pelvic or abdominal pain
• Needing to urinate more often
• Vaginal bleeding after menopause
• Unexplained weight loss

Important information from Kicks Count💕

👣When should I start to feel movement?

Most women and birthing people usually begin to feel their baby move between 16 and 24 weeks of pregnancy.

👣How often should my baby move?

There is no set number of normal movements. Get to know your baby's individual regular pattern of movement

👣What should I do if I notice reduced movement?

If you think your baby’s movements have slowed down or stopped call your maternity unit or midwife immediately. The maternity unit is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

Don't put off calling until the next day or wait until your next scheduled appointment.

👣What if my baby’s movements are reduced again?

You should contact your maternity unit again, however many times it happens. Even if everything was normal last time, don't hesitate to contact your midwife or maternity unit for advice. You're always doing the right thing.

👣Why are my baby’s movements important?

A reduction or change in a baby’s movements can be an important warning sign that a baby is unwell. Around half of women who had a stillbirth noticed their baby’s movements had slowed down or stopped. It's NOT true that babies move less towards the end of pregnancy

You should continue to feel your baby move right up to the time you go into labour and whilst you are in labour too.

👣Should I prompt my baby to move?

As it can cause a delay in getting medical advice, do not use ice, fizzy drinks etc to make your baby move, always call your maternity unit.

👣What if my baby’s movements reduce again after check up?

If, after your check up, you are still not happy with your baby’s movements, you must contact either your maternity unit or midwife straight away, even if everything was normal last time. NEVER HESITATE to contact your maternity unit or midwife for advice, no matter how many times this happens.

👣Should I use a phone app or home doppler to check the baby's heartbeat?

Do not use hand-held monitors, Dopplers or phone apps to check your baby’s health. Even if you hear a heartbeat, this does not mean your baby is well.

This scan is designed for those in the very early stages of pregnancy (usually before 6 weeks) — including IVF patients who may be experiencing bleeding, pain, or anxiety, or who would like early reassurance.

🔍 This scan focuses on assessing what can be safely seen at this stage, confirming pregnancy location, and providing clear, compassionate guidance.
❤️ Not seeing a heartbeat this early can be completely normal.

Suitable for:

• IVF pregnancies
• Bleeding or spotting
• Lower abdominal pain or cramping
• Previous pregnancy loss
• Anxiety in early pregnancy
• Early confirmation of pregnancy location

Now available for booking at www.ultrasoundni.com

If you experience severe pain, heavy bleeding, dizziness, or collapse, please seek urgent medical care

We recommend that you book an early pregnancy scan following your VEPA to confirm viability of your pregnancy 💕
