Anomaly scan

Anomaly Scan

Performed between 20 and 24 weeks
£150

The anomaly scan, commonly known as the ‘20-week scan‘, is a crucial ultrasound performed between 20 to 24 weeks of gestation. It follows the FASP* guidelines to meticulously inspect the fetal anatomy and screen for structural abnormalities.

The primary objective of anomaly scan is to thoroughly evaluate your baby’s development and identify any potential concerns. The scan includes assessing the placenta’s location, amniotic fluid volume, and fetal growth. Key areas such as the brain, face, spine, heart, stomach, bowel, kidneys, and limbs receive focused examination.

What will I get?

Your 25-minute appointment includes:

  • An in-depth assessment of your baby’s growth and checks for any developmental concerns.
  • Determination of your baby’s gender (optional)
  • Two printed 2D thermal images as keepsakes.
  • A chance to see your baby in 3D/4D (subject to optimal conditions).
  • A digital collection of images and short video clips delivered directly to your email.
IMPORTANT

For those seeking a second opinion, please kindly provide your medical reports in advance of your appointment.

Please be aware that ultrasound screenings may not detect all conditions. A ‘normal’ scan result does not guarantee the absence of rare anomalies.

Should any concerns arise during your scan, they will be recorded and communicated to you for consultation with your healthcare provider.

PREPARATION

Please ensure you have a full bladder for your transabdominal scan, as it helps us get the clearest images. Drink at least 0.5 litres of water prior to your appointment and try to avoid using the restroom just before your scan.
