Bump2Baby™ Multi Scan Package

Our growth and wellbeing scan includes a Digital Foetal Assessment Report, which confirms:

• HC, AC & FL Measurements
• Gestation Age
• Audible Heartbeat
• Observed Movement
• Placental Site
• Amniotic Fluid Volume
• Position of Baby

Your Growth&Wellbeing™ scan will last for approximately 5-7 minutes. As an ethical and regulated provider we comply with the British Medical Ultrasound Society (BMUS) guidelines, only scanning for as long as it necessitates to achieve the required diagnostic evaluation. Whilst we appreciate longer scan times promoted by other scan companies may seem appealing, the safety and wellbeing of your baby is paramount and should not be compromised.

In the event we identify matters of concern and it is considered a further detailed diagnostic assessment is required, a referral to your NHS GP/Midwife will be provided in accordance with our approved procedures. Referrals to NHS will only be provided when there is justified concern.

The position of your baby may occasionally be such that measurements are difficult to take. If this happens to you, our sonographer may ask you to take a gentle stroll so as to get the baby moving; in the unlikely event that this does not work, one complimentary re-scan visit will be offered (subject to terms and conditions).

A multiple pregnancy will require further scan time in order to conduct the detailed assessment of multiple foetus; as such we charge an additional £50 per foetus to account for the extended appointment time allocated

All ultrasound scans are performed by qualified and experienced obstetric Sonographers registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC).

Due to the sensitive nature of baby scans and potential unexpected findings, we strongly encourage you to consider the purpose of your chosen scan and the appropriate nature of guests in attendance in particular children attending the examination room. We have re-designed our clinic to provide a purpose built private viewing room to accommodate additional guests from which we can appropriately control what is displayed and observed. Our guest policy now permits up to four guests to accompany you into the examination room including ‘where appropriate’ closely supervised children; with a further six additional guests including children (supervised under the age of 16 years) permitted into the private viewing room where they can view your scan on a large screen with audio. (Max 10 Guests across two rooms).

The diagnostic evaluations obtained whilst conducting our Growth&Wellbeing™ scan provides valuable insight into baby’s continual development and wellbeing, designed to complement but not replace your NHS Dating/NT (12-14wks) and Anomaly scans (20 wks). Whilst each scan type has a specific purpose, gestation age criteria and defined reporting protocols, our qualified Sonographers have an ethical obligation to highlight, report and refer matters of concern which may be outside the scope/protocols of the performed scan. In some circumstances further NHS evaluation and screening may be required; however the gestation age criteria for such evaluations will be determined by your NHS Antenatal provider.

Arrive with a full bladder as this will assist with magnification of scan imagery. Please do NOT empty bladder prior to scan. Sugar in the blood stream will assist with baby’s movement. Remove any belly piercings in advance of your appointment. We will need to expose your abdomen during the scan, as such please consider wearing a two piece outfit in order that we may respect your dignity.
