Will the ultrasound be performed transabdominally or transvaginally?

Pregnancy ultrasound is typically conducted transabdominally for better control and less invasiveness. Transvaginal ultrasound may be needed in early pregnancy for precise measurements or specific conditions, and the reasons will be clearly explained.

Can I bring my friends/family to the ultrasound?

Yes, you can bring close family or a friend for support. However, it's better to limit the number of attendees to one or two adults, as too many people can be distracting.

Can I have a DVD with my pregnancy ultrasound?

We offer a live DVD of many parts of the scan at no additional cost during the 19-week anatomy scan and the 12-week scan, although prints will also be provided.

Can I have my scan performed in 3D/4D?

3D/4D images are usually available during routine 19-week ultrasounds, but the primary focus remains on 2D imaging for accurate medical information.

What is Down syndrome?

Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by trisomy 21. Additional information on screening tests can be found in the Down syndrome information section of our website.

Can I come earlier for my 12-week scan?

It's recommended to schedule your 12-week scan between 12-13 weeks for optimal results, but if you have specific concerns, timing can be adjusted.

Can I come later for my 19-week scan?

While the 19-week scan timing is designed for proper assessment, it can be flexible if there are valid reasons. However, it should be done before 20 weeks due to legal limitations on pregnancy decisions.

Why is ovarian screening not offered in the same way as Pap smears and mammograms?
