"Was so much better than I ever expected. Very professional and friendly staff, helped to soothe anxieties and so glad my husband and I were told about First Encounters. Definitely will be checking in to see baby again soon."

Date & Wellbeing Scan

"After a scary few days over a weekend (the hospital couldn't scan me until the end of the week) I booked a scan with First Encounters on Monday morning and was seen at 12:30. They reassured me that my baby was fine and went through everything thoroughly. I can't recommend them enough."

"I can't thank you enough for my appointment, fitting me in last minute under stressful circumstances was so appreciated. The whole team was so wonderful and empathetic, and it was so lovely to see our healthy growing baby. Thank you for being so kind and caring, can't thank you enough."

"Staff were so caring and interested in baby. It was lovely to feel wanted and as though staff were as excited to see baby as we were. We did not want to find out the gender, and not once did we feel as though a member of staff knew and might slip up – it was very professional and nothing was too much trouble. Couldn't fault any part of our appointment. Would definitely return."

"Such an amazing experience – we have not used First Encounters before and usually book elsewhere, however I will never look back. First Encounters are so professional and the service feels so personal. Will definitely be recommending to all my friends."

"We couldn't possibly have wished for more. Everything was explained to us so clearly and thoughtfully. The team made sure our whole appointment was full of magic. From start to finish we felt listened to and understood, and I felt in very safe hands. I would definitely have more scans in the clinic due to a 10/10 experience."

NIPT & Early Reassurance Scan

"This is the second time we've used First Encounters. The first time we found out we had a missed miscarriage – honestly the scan saved me weeks of pain and also the staff were INCREDIBLE. I would not have known without their advice and it made a horrendous situation so much easier. This time was a much nicer outcome for us and honestly the staff were again amazing! I was in a right panic and they calmed me down, reassured me and got the good news on the screen so quickly and had tissues on hand! Thank you!"

Eleanor, May 2025

"Lovely, kind staff who talked me through everything, made sure I was fully informed at all stages and importantly made me feel at such ease. The service was AAA."

Sarah, April 2025

"I've had two scans at First Encounters now and both have been amazing. The staff are so friendly and caring, and they make you feel at ease instantly. The scan quality is fantastic and you don't at all feel rushed in and out as I was made to feel at another provider. Fantastic experience all round and would definitely recommend to others."
