Our well-being baby scan forms the first part of any of our packages from 15 weeks plus. It is a traditional 2D baby scan that can be conducted at any stage of your pregnancy after your initial NHS appointment. The well-being scan focuses on the development of your unborn baby and allows us to check growth measurements, foetal movement, weight calculations, establish placenta position, amniotic fluid volume, provide an audible heartbeat trace and identify the position of your baby. It is important to drink 1 litre of water 60 minutes before the scan if less than 20 weeks gestation.
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 & 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 4 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.
