Your ultrasound scan is much more than just a check-up: it’s an experience that you get to share with your baby before they are born. Your very first scan is a particularly memorable and emotional experience because you’re seeing your child for the very first time. That’s the sort of moment you want to share with your nearest and dearest!
Here are some reasons why you should bring your loved ones along to the First Encounters clinic in Cardiff for an unforgettable family ultrasound experience:
- Family members can provide you with comfort and support during your scan.
- If you already have children, an ultrasound appointment can be a chance for them to bond with their future sibling. This will help them to feel included and look forward to the birth.
- Being present for your ultrasound appointment will help your relatives to feel more involved in your pregnancy and get excited for you.
- Best of all, you get to forge a precious memory with the people you love most!
Having your family in the room with you can be particularly helpful if you have a lot of anxiety about medical procedures. A family ultrasound feels more like a celebration – you can even get together afterwards and keep the party going!
How Many Family Members Can I Bring to My Ultrasound Scan?
If you book an ultrasound scan with First Encounters, you can bring up to 4 guests into the scanning room with you. 6 additional guests can watch your scan on a screen in our private viewing room. This means that a total of 10 family members can share this precious memory with you.
Our private ultrasound clinic is designed to provide a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere, and it includes plenty of space for you and your loved ones.
We do ask that you consider whether it would be appropriate to bring young children along, and to ensure that they are closely supervised. This helps the scan to be as stress-free as possible for both you and your family.
Making Memories of Your Family Ultrasound Experience
Including your family in this wonderful life event makes it even more special, but how do you cement the memory? A pregnancy includes so many magical moments that it can be a challenge to keep track of each one.
Not to worry, though – we’ve got plenty of great ideas to help this wonderful memory stand out from the rest.
All of our scan packages include beautiful printed photos that you’ll treasure for years. Your scan pictures (and if applicable, a video clip from your scan) will also be accessible via photocloud™, making it easy to share the images with your extended family.
We also offer plenty of fantastic baby scan souvenirs for you and your family to take home, including:
- Photo keyrings
- Photo magnets
- Heartbeat teddies
- Glitter photo blocks
