We are committed to:

Focus: Our primary focus is on client care and comfort, delivered in a professional and ethical manner. Dignity: Treating all our customers with respect and dignity. Integrity: Ensuring all our clients are treated honestly, fairly, and safely. Privacy: Maintaining confidentiality for all our customers at all times. Diversity: Recognising, respecting, and actively supporting individual differences through our work practices and protocols. Safety: Meeting all health and safety obligations within our establishment. Staff: Ensuring all our sonographers meet high standards in specialising in well-being, gender, and 4D pregnancy scans. Ultrasound Scanning

Ultrasound uses very high-frequency sound waves, beyond the perception of the human ear, so your baby will not be aware of the scan. 3D and 4D ultrasound use the same technology as hospital 2D ultrasound scanning.

2D Ultrasound: Provides imaging in two dimensions, used for diagnostic examinations.
3D Ultrasound: Offers three-dimensional still images.
4D Ultrasound: Adds the fourth dimension, showing real-time movement of your baby in the womb. We are privileged to offer you and your family a unique and realistic first look at your baby with our 3D/4D ultrasound baby scans. Just as safe as traditional 2D scans, our 3D/4D/HD ultrasound scans, combined with our years of experience, trained team, and advanced equipment, let you get up close and personal with your unborn baby. From a yawn to a stretch, these sessions provide a realistic introduction to your baby in their protected world.

4D Ultrasound Fact Sheet

4D technology uses sound waves beyond human hearing, ensuring your baby is unaware of the scan. For clear imaging, a pool of amniotic fluid around the baby’s face is needed. The best 4D images are obtained when the baby is in a face-up position. Images can be affected by factors like the umbilical cord, hands, feet, or the baby's position against the womb or placenta. To improve image clarity, we may ask you to roll onto your side or take a walk to encourage the baby to move. Our policy is to do our best on the day, which sometimes means scans may overrun. Please be patient, as every client is important to us. Our clinic offers pregnancy scans at all gestations from 6 to 40 weeks, and all our sonographers are fully trained in clinical and diagnostic ultrasound. Every scan begins with a baby well-being check. If any potential issues are detected, we will explain them fully and communicate with your midwife with your permission. HD Ultrasound

HD ultrasound, available in selected clinics, uses the latest technology for high-definition imaging. Our Scanning Machines

Our ultrasound scanner is a powerful computer that interprets reflected high-frequency sound waves into 3D pictures and adds the fourth dimension to give real-time moving images. HD stands for High Definition. Safety

We prioritise the safety of you and your baby, adopting the A.L.A.R.A (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) protocol. This means our scanners are set at the lowest levels necessary to obtain great images. We also follow BMUS (British Medical Ultrasound Society) guidelines for non-diagnostic, bonding scans, and do not scan before 16 weeks. firstScan

Pregnancy can be a magical journey, but it can also feel isolating at times. 💛 Remember, it’s okay to feel lonely, you’re carrying a whole world inside you.

‘Sometimes the strongest women are the ones who smile through silent struggles.’ 🌸

You’re never truly alone in this journey.

💙 What Should I Do Before My Scan? 💫

We always want you to get the most out of your visit with us, so here are a few handy tips to help you prepare:

✨ If your scan is before 10 weeks, a transvaginal scan may be offered, no full bladder needed. For 10 weeks and over, please arrive with a full bladder.
💧 Stay hydrated, aim to drink a little extra water in the days leading up to your appointment.
🍎 Have a light snack a couple of hours before your scan to help wake baby up.
🚶‍♀️ Arrive a little early, have some water, and take a short walk, it can really help baby move into a great position.
📒 Don’t forget your hospital notes, as we can’t complete your scan without them.

We can’t wait to see you and your little one soon! 👶💙
