The early pregnancy scan can be performed from 6 weeks, but ideally from 8 weeks of pregnancy until 13 weeks of pregnancy. The early pregnancy scan takes approximately 20 minutes. Our experienced Sonographer will check for a heartbeat (which is the best indicator of a healthy baby at this stage),will measure the baby and confirm your expected due date, and check for number of babies. At 8 weeks, the baby is still very small and shaped like a bean/peanut, whereas by 11/12 weeks gestation, the arms, legs and head are more visible on the scan. Clients will receive 2D black and white prints of the scan.
GIRL OR BOY?
Do you want to know your baby’s gender?
At Surescanstudio, we perform gender scans from 16 weeks of pregnancy. But if you can wait over to approx. 18 weeks the views are better for images of your baby. The gender scan takes approximately 20 minutes. As long as baby is in a good position, it usually only takes a few minutes to check the gender, so you spend the rest of the scan having a good look at baby in either 2D or 3D ultrasound, whichever you prefer. Clients will receive prints of the scan to take home with them. If the baby is not in a good position to assess the gender, the Sonographer will ask you to come back for a repeat appointment to recheck the sex again at no extra charge.
The 3D/4D ultrasound scan can provide a wonderful bonding experience for parents and families in our Surescanstudio, being able to see and record your baby smiling, yawning, sucking it’s thumb and moving around in real time. The 3D/4D scan is ideally performed between 26 and 34weeks of pregnancy, you may also check the gender if you wish, but there is no problem if you would prefer that the sonographer kept it a secret! Clients will have recordings of 3D/4D clips sent direct to your phone through TRICEFY and print 3D copies of the scan. You are welcome to bring your partner to your scan and the ultrasound session will be projected onto a flat screen TV for everyone to enjoy!
