The excitement of pregnancy for expectant parents can be beyond measure, but so too can the worry about the development of the baby as the pregnancy progresses. Having access toinformation that can be reassuring is invaluable, and that’s why there are a range of private scans available designed to support expectant parents throughout their pregnancy journey.You can have your first scan from as early as six weeks, through to thirty-five weeks and six days. At The Surrey Park Clinic, pregnancy scans are conducted by a team of professional sonographers, with appointment availability six days a week, and sometimes the same day.
The Early Pregnancy Scan (viability scan) is available between six and thirteen weeks and six days of pregnancy. This scan aims to determine the viability of the pregnancy, gestational age, and an estimated due date. This service includes a full report with measurements and up to four printed images.
For expectant parents who are eager to know the sex of their baby (or babies), a gender scan can be performed from sixteen to thirty two weeks. This appointment focuses on finding out the gender of the baby. Sometimes, the sonographer may be unable to determine the genderduring the initial scan, in which case a complimentary rescan will be offered on another day.This service includes a full report and up to four printed images.
Growth Scans are designed to monitor the baby’s development and are available from fourteen weeks up to thirty-five weeks and six days of pregnancy. The appointment is to assess the growth measurements, and from twenty-four weeks onwards can also estimate the foetal weight and an umbilical cord Doppler measurement.
Gender determination can be requested from sixteen weeks onwards and the scan provides a comprehensive report and up to four printed images. This scan does not replace the twenty week anomaly scan which is offered by the NHS.
For a more detailed look at the baby, the 3D/4D and Wellbeing Scan is available between twenty-six and thirty-two weeks of pregnancy. This appointment offers three dimensional images and real-time four-dimensional videos, which provide a unique bonding opportunity. The scan includes up to four printed images, a USB stick with digital copies, an assessment of amniotic fluid and foetal movement, and gender determination if desired. A full report is also included.
At The Surrey Park Clinic, we offer various PrenatalSAFE screening tests from ten weeks of pregnancy. The screenings are DNA based blood tests and are more accurate than traditional screenings for conditions such as Down’s syndrome, Edwards’ syndrome, and Patau syndrome. The PrenatalSAFE 3 or 5 Screening includes and early pregnancy scan, a nurse consultation, and the blood test, with results usually available within 3-5 working days. There are additional options available, such as testing for DiGeorge syndrome and other chromosomal anomalies, at a higher price point.
The Surrey Park Clinic offers several pregnancy packages to provide comprehensive care and cost savings.
This package includes two scans – a thirty minute Early Pregnancy Scan (six to thirteen weeks and six days) and a 30 minute Gender Scan (sixteen to twenty seven weeks and six days). This gives a saving of £20 compared to booking these scans separately.
This package offers three scans – an Early Pregnancy Scan, a PrenatalSAFE 3 or 5 Screening with blood test (from ten weeks), and a 3D/4D Wellbeing Scan (twenty-six to thirty-two weeks). It gives a total saving of £80.
During each of the above-mentioned scans, a professional sonographer will perform a comprehensive diagnostic assessment, discuss the findings with you, and provide a full report along with images. For most scans it’s advisable to attend with a full bladder as this will helpwith the quality of the ultrasound images. If you’re unsure, follow guidance provided by the clinic.
