Frequently Asked Questions
We know that you will have lots of questions about the services we offer so we’ve tried to collect our most frequently asked questions below, but if you have anything not covered then please don’t hesitate to get in touch and ask us.
How much does a baby scan cost?
Our private baby scans start from £59 for a Growth & Wellbeing Scan. An Early Reassurance Scan or Late Reassurance Scan is £65, a Gender & Wellbeing Scan is £70, a Bonding & Wellbeing Scan is £80, and our Ultimate 3D, 4D & HD Live Bonding Scan is £110. Every scan comes with our free repeat appointment guarantee in case baby isn’t playing ball.
When can I find out my baby's gender?
You can find out at a gender scan from 14 weeks with our Gender & Wellbeing Scan, which includes a sneaky peek in 4D. Our Growth & Wellbeing Scan, from 14 to 30 weeks, also includes optional gender confirmation. If you can’t wait that long, our Blue or Pink early gender blood test tells you from as early as 6 weeks, with 99.9% accuracy and results in 3 to 4 days.
Do you have toilets and/or baby change facilities?
Yes we have toilet and baby change facilities.
What is the difference between 2D, 3D, 4D and HD-Live?
You’re probably already familiar with the black and white photo’s you get from hospitals, these are in two dimensions (length & height) or 2D. 3D adds depth, these are images come with the golden look and feel and 4D is the same but is a moving image i.e. a video. All of these are taken with the same ultrasound machine using a special probe (sometimes called a transducer).
During a 4D Scan we use both 3D & 4D, the live scan that you see on the screen is called 4D, and the still images we print out are 3D. HD is an improvement on 3D imaging using state of the art technology to create skin tones, shadows and clearer images and HD Live is the same for the 4D scan. HD Live is trademarked GE technology and of these are only available from clinics with specialist GE Voluson ultrasound machines like ours.
When is best to have a 3D/4D scan?
You can have a 3/4D scan at any time in your pregnancy from 14 weeks. However, for the very best images we advise having your scan done between 26 and 31 weeks. Although scans outside of this range can still give excellent results. There are lots of factors effecting this: the position of the baby and the placenta, the amount of fluid and the size of baby at the time of the scan and the BMI of mummy (ultrasound uses sound waves that have to travel through body tissue, the higher the amount of tissue the further they have to travel, therefore the less clear the image will be). For twins and multiple pregnancies we recommend you come when you are at 26 weeks.. If your placenta is anterior (at the front) we recommend you try and come before 29 weeks to avoid disappointment. If you are past this stage we are happy for you to pop in for us to have a look if we think we will be able to get images of your baby.
What to Expect
A little look inside our boutique and the images you’ll take home, from 2D prints to crystal clear 4D and HD Live.
