private ultrasound scan equipment
If you're looking to book a private ultrasound scan, there are a few things you should consider before settling on a service. It’s incredibly important that you have all the information you need to make an informed decision. After all, you’ll want to find the best value for your money without compromising on quality and safety.
 
Listed below are a few things to keep in mind before you book a private scan for yourself and your baby.
 
 
how early can you have a pregnancy scan
 

In the UK, the NHS will typically offer you two pregnancy scans as part of your pregnancy care: one in early pregnancy (between 11 and 14 weeks) and another between 18 and 21 weeks. If you wish to arrange a scan much sooner than this, the earliest you can book a pregnancy scan is from 7 weeks onwards. However, these scans are conducted by private ultrasound clinics rather than the NHS.

We get asked all sorts of questions here at First Encounters; When is the best time to have a scan? Are 4D ultrasound scans safe? Should I find out the sex of my baby? These are all common queries; however, the most common question of all has nothing to do with how our scans work. Rather, it's related to the cost of our 4D ultrasound packages. 
 
Many people think that 3D/4D scans will be too expensive for them, but most are pleasantly surprised when they see our price list. Obviously, the exact cost depends on which package you select, but whether you want a no-frills 4D scan or the full baby bonding experience, we think you'll find our prices very reasonable indeed.
