Pregnancy Ultrasounds
There can be various reasons to book a pregnancy scan. Medical scans or scans upon request. You may want to know the gender of your baby, perhaps you’ve had a previous miscarriage and need reassurance.
A pregnancy ultrasound scan sends sound waves through your womb to create a visual image of your baby, placenta, and uterus, as well as other pelvic organs. It allows us to gather valuable information about the progress of your pregnancy and the health of your unborn child. During the scan high-frequency sound waves are being transmitted through your womb that bounce off your baby. A computer then translates the echoing sounds into video images that reveal your baby’s shape, position, and movements projected on the wall to allow you to visualise what’s happening inside you.
