Scans can be performed early in the pregnancy to help establish your estimated due date (EDD). This allows for more accurate scheduling for subsequent scans. EDD estimation is also more accurate earlier in the pregnancy.

Early scans can be performed if there is any concerns around pain and / or bleeding. First trimester ultrasound can be used to help establish the location of a pregnancy.

Sometimes early scans are performed if there is a suspicion of twins (or more). At this stage the sonographer can more easily determine the type of twinning.

The nuchal / 12 week scan can be performed anywhere from 11 weeks 0 days to 13 weeks 6 days. However the optimal time is close to 12 weeks 0 days. If opting for the combined screen (MSS1) your sonographer will attempt to measure something called the nuchal translucency. This measurement, combined with a blood test will return a ‘risk score’ to your LMC.

Some women decide to have non invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) performed. In this instance we can still do the basic anatomy check, measurements and placenta check but will not record the nuchal translucency measurement.

Also, some women choose not to have the nuchal translucency recorded due to personal preference. In that case we happily respect your decision and can offer the basic anatomy and placental check.

We can offer gender reveal scans from as early as 16 weeks gestation. We do require that you have already had a 12 week scan (or nuchal scan) performed.

We perform a 15 minute scan for your entertainment, record some images and video clips. If you do not wish to know the gender during the scan just inform the sonographer and he/she will be happy to put this into a sealed envelope for you.

You can be rest assured that we have the latest equipment in our clinic and expert sonographers performing the scan.

The anatomy scan is usually performed around 20 weeks gestation. The optimal window is from 19 weeks to 21 weeks.

This scan takes at least 30 minutes and details your fetus from top to toe. The amniotic fluid levels are assessed as well as the placental location. We have a strict one support person and no children for this scan as it requires alot of concentration.

If the baby is not in the correct position sometimes a follow up scan is required. This is very common and nothing for you to worry about. There is no additional cost for this.

A growth scan can be performed for many reasons. Some examples include to check the amniotic fluid levels, a history of small babies, or to check the fetal position.

During the scan the sonographer will measure the babies head, tummy and leg bone. A basic review of the anatomy is also performed. At the end of the scan the sonographer will be able to tell you what weight the baby is.

If you are keeping the gender a surprise it is a good idea to inform the sonographer at the beginning of the scan.

Your doctor or LMC might request an ultrasound in the first 6 weeks after having your baby. This is usually performed to ensure there are no pregnancy contents still remaining inside of the endometrium / uterus.
