Question 1

Do I need a full bladder?

Accepted Answer

If you are under 26 weeks, please drink plenty of water an hour before your scan and arrive with a full bladder. This helps to obtain the best images possible.

Question 2

Can I bring family and friends?

Accepted Answer

Gender & 3D/4D Scans: Absolutely! You are welcome to bring as many family, friends and children as you like. The more the merrier!

Early Pregnancy Scans: Children are not permitted to attend early pregnancy appointments. This is a clinical setting and may involve an internal scan. We recommend bringing 1–2 adult guests (aged 18 or over) to support you during your scan.

Do I need to wear a mask?

Masks are optional in our clinic. We want you to feel comfortable during your visit.
