About this service
Obstetric ultrasound at every stage of pregnancy — early dating from six weeks, first-trimester nuchal-translucency (NT) at 12–13 weeks, and detailed second-trimester morphology around 20 weeks. Every scan is reviewed and reported by a sub-specialised radiologist.
What to expect
A sonographer performs the scan, usually transabdominally with water-based gel; an early-pregnancy scan may use a transvaginal probe for a clearer view. Most appointments take 30–45 minutes. We share images and reassuring observations with you in the room.
Early-pregnancy scans (up to 12 weeks): attend with a comfortably full bladder — empty one hour before, then drink one litre of water. From the second trimester onwards no preparation is needed. Bring your referral and any prior imaging.
Results and reports
A sub-specialised radiologist will read your scan and send a comprehensive report directly to your referring GP or specialist the next business day. Your referrer will discuss the results with you at your follow-up appointment.
Bulk billing
Most pregnancy imaging examinations are bulk-billed for eligible patients. Our team will confirm any out-of-pocket costs when you book.
