Some Common Frequently Asked Questions On Baby Scan Clinic


Is this your first pregnancy? You must have so many questions for your first visit to baby scan clinic. All new pregnant women tend to have some frequently asked questions which we have answered here. Take a look to remove your confusion.

Do I need a doctor's referral letter?


No, you do not need a doctor’s referral for any kind of baby scans.

What is the perfect time to have an early scan for pregnancy?


Normally the early pregnancy scans can be done from 7 weeks up to 14 weeks of pregnancy. Some women like to come in at 8 weeks to see the heartbeat. You will be able to see the heartbeat, the sac, and fetal pole. If the scan is performed too early i.e. before 8 weeks, you may not see the heartbeat. There is nothing to worry about in such cases as the heartbeat can not always be easily heard before 8 weeks. Other mothers-to-be prefer to wait until 12 weeks so that they can see the baby’s head, limbs, hands, and feet.

How to prepare for an early pregnancy scan?


A full bladder will enhance the image quality, so it is important to ensure that your bladder is full before the appointment. While there is no need to have your bladder uncomfortably full, we recommend that you drink between 1 and 2 glasses of water or liquid approximately one hour before your ultrasound scan. This help provides contrast and improves the quality of the image on the screen.

What is a 4D scan?


Using the latest ultrasound technology at a baby scan clinic, it can be seen as a moving 3D image, the 4th dimension being the movement. You can see what your baby looks like before birth. You can sometimes even see your baby yawning, smiling, blinking, and sucking their thumb. 

Is it safe?


Ultrasound has been used for over 50 years. Despite many trials and studies, it has been proven to cause harm to neither the baby or the mother. The 4D scan used by baby scan clinic uses the best quality machines. 

Can I bring anyone into the scan room? 


In a private scan clinic, you can bring anyone you like. But we will suggest bringing someone you are comfortable with. If it is your first baby scan, then it would be a very important moment for you. Choose someone close to you and provide you comfort in every way. Whether you have any complication during pregnancy or not, or if it’s a late pregnancy a 4D baby scan will help you a lot.

We hope we have been able to clear out some of your queries before you visit a baby scan clinic.

    One common reason an ultrasound scan may be done is to check on the growth of the baby if they are measuring small at a routine antenatal visit. I like your post. All information are nice.
