Whether it's your first pregnancy or you've had previous pregnancies, we understand how worrying it can be when you feel like things are not right. Here at NumiScan Derby, we provide emergency pregnancy scans to give expecting mums the reassurance they need at these worrying and upsetting times. We operate a 24 hour emergency service.
THIS SERVICE IS AN OUT OF HOURS SERVICE, APPOINTMENTS NEED TO BE MADE AT LEAST TWO HOURS BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT TIME. THIS ALLOWS OUR QUALIFIED TEAM TO PREPARE THE CLINIC FOR YOU. EMERGENCY PREGNANCY SCANS ARE UNABLE TO BE BOOKED ONLINE. OUR TELEPHONE LINE IS OPEN 24/7, OUR STAFF AIM TO ANSWER EVERY CALL. BUT AT TIMES, THIS MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE. IN AN EMERGENCY WE ASK YOU TO KEEP TRYING TO GET THROUGH OR LEAVE A MESSAGE. If we have not contacted you within 30 minutes then we are not available on this occasion
During your pregnancy, especially if it's your first, it may be hard to distinguish the difference between normal signs and symptoms and those to be concerned about. You may want to book an emergency pregnancy scan if you are experiencing bleeding and spotting in your very early pregnancy. This is a common pregnancy symptom; however you should always contact your primary carer, you may want to book an Emergency pregnancy scan at times that you cannot be scanned or seen by your primary carer for reassurance.
If you are experiencing pain during your pregnancy this doesn't always mean that there is a problem. As a baby is growing, it can cause the mother to feel discomfort due to them stretching in their ligaments. This makes backache and general abdominal pain normal, however, if you are experience severe pain, it is wise to contact your primary carer.
Bleeding also doesn't immediately highlight any serious issues with your pregnancy. Blood passed may be light or heavy and can range from bright to dark red and can be continuous throughout your pregnancy. It is again advised that you contact your primary carer if you experience bleeding or spotting. Or book an out of hours emergency pregnancy scan when your primary carer is unable to facilitate.
This completely depends on the individual. There may be many different reasons, you may feel something isn’t quite right, have been unwell, are simply worried or may have other health or lifestyle issues that require a bit more monitoring of your pregnancy
4D Ultrasound is the latest generation of ultrasound scanning technology which adds a fourth dimension of time, allowing you to see your baby move in real time. By taking multiple 3D images we can show live-action images of your baby’s movements
3D Ultrasound is a complex layering of different 2D images and information captured by the sonographer. Our latest ultrasound equipment will make a composite picture that will capture your baby in a 3D image. This will look more like a regular photograph than the traditional old black and white 2D scans that just show a single cross-section. 3D scans mean you will be able to see your baby’s face and features (if at an appropriate size)
If we can’t perform your scan properly due to your baby’s positioning not being ideal for scanning then we offer a free re-scan within 2 weeks of the initial appointment (Mon – Fri)
At Numi Scan Derby we have fully experienced and qualified (HCPC u0026amp; BMUS) sonographers both male and female to perform your scan. If you have a preference please let us know in the booking procedure and we will accommodate your request as a baby scan is a very personal experience and we understand that mums-to-be can be more comfortable with a male or a female sonographer
No. All our private baby scans are designed to be complimentary to the NHS scans. You should still attend your NHS scans whether you are having extra private scans or not. The NHS can do more in terms of accurately diagnosing any major problems in further tests that ultrasound alone cannot diagnose
Absolutely, you may bring up to 3 family and friends to enjoy the precious moments with you. Our room has ample seating and a huge 75” LED TV for everyone to see your baby in high definition 2D, 3D or 4D during your scan
