At your early pregnancy scan you will be greeted by one of our friendly chaperone team who will accompany you throughout your visit. Prior to the scan you will be asked to fill in some details about yourself, so we can understand your reasons for booking an early pregnancy scan but also to ensure the appropriate care is provided. If you are pre 10 weeks’ gestation at the time of your appointment a trans-vaginal scan is medically recommended as per NICE guidelines, so you get a more accurate, diagnostic results. (A full bladder is not required for this). If you believe you are 10 weeks+ the scan will be abdominal, and a full bladder is required. A trans-vaginal scan is with consent and can be declined however this can affect the accuracy of the results. Your scan will be conducted by our fully registered and qualified sonographers who will talk you through the findings and provide you with an obstetric report and print to take home. If ongoing care is required, we will arrange this and provide any relevant documentation for your follow up appointment with your local NHS trust. Should you have any questions/concerns about the scan please speak with the clinic team.
