Located just off junction 30 of the M4, our clinic is a mere 15-minute drive from Newport city centre, making us a convenient choice for expectant parents looking for an early pregnancy scan, gender confirmation or a 3D/4D bonding experiences.

Finding out your due date is one of those magic early-pregnancy moments where everything starts to feel real. Knowing what time of year you'll be going into labour makes it easier to imagine the bundle of joy waiting for you at the end of your journey.

Of course, it's also a reminder that you will need to do some preparation to make sure you're ready for the birth. Which leads us to a question that we hear from a lot of mums-to-be: just how accurate is my due date?
