Did you know there are a number of different things which can impact the clarity of your maternity ultrasound scans, including:

🔵the position of your baby
🔵where your placenta is
🔵your body mass index (BMI)
🔵how many weeks pregnant you are
🔵whether you have wind in your tummy (bowel gas). Most people do have this.

Following your appointment, you can use the machine in the waiting area to purchase photos of your scan. Please remember we can only take card payments and are unable to accept cash.
