List of scans during pregnancy (list with small explanation of each)
Viability Scan: an early scan to confirm that you are pregnant, work out your due date and check that you and your baby are healthy.
Nuchal Translucency Scan: the routine 12 week scan to check your baby’s growth and development. We can assess the risk of Down’s, Patau’s and Edward’s syndromes and check for certain foetal anomalies.
Reassurance Scan: an additional scan to check on your baby’s health if you‘re feeling anxious or you have a high risk pregnancy. We also recommend this test if you’re experiencing bleeding or other symptoms.
Sexing Scan: an extra scan to find out if you’re expecting a boy or a girl, before the next routine scan. We won’t usually perform the full range of health checks, but we’ll measure your baby and spot any major issues.
Anomaly Scan: the routine 20 week scan to check your baby’s health and development. We’ll measure your baby and check the heart, brain, spine, bowel, limbs and other structures for abnormalities. We’ll also look for any issues with the placenta, umbilical cord or amniotic fluid. We can usually tell your baby’s sex at this scan if you haven’t already found out.
Cervical Scan: an extra trans-vaginal scan to measure the length of your cervix if you are at risk of giving birth prematurely.
Wellbeing Scan: an additional scan to check on your baby’s development before he or she is born. We’ll measure your baby and perform a range of health checks.
4D Scan: a 3D colour ultrasound that will give you a chance to see your baby in a completely different way than the usual 2D black and white ultrasounds. You’ll be able to see your baby’s face and watch him or her moving in real time. We’ll check your baby’s growth and health during the scan, but this is mainly an opportunity for you to bond.
Thank you to all our patients for considering coming to our clinic.
We aim to meet the highest standards.
We had received possible worrying news from our NHS anomaly scan, without much information provided or confirmation. I am so pleased that we came to The Birth Company for reassurance, as we are now extremely happy that everything is fine. Shahrzad was fantastic and went through the whole anomaly scan thoroughly, explaining everything and looking in detail at each area. Nothing was rushed and she took her time to make sure baby was in the correct position to get the best results. We can’t thank her and Dr Gibb enough for the confidence they have given us. Would highly recommend The Birth Company for all scans.
' Professional and reassuring '
The sonographer was ready as soon as I arrived, and she was extremely calming, personable and professional. The scan and blood test where efficient without feeling rushed and all very easy. These appointments can feel uneasy and make you feel anxious but I felt reassured and in professional hands the whole time

I saw Kate throughout my first pregnancy and am now doing so again with my second. She is absolutely amazing, she explains everything really clearly, and has answered all sorts of bizarre questions and worries I have had. On top of being clinically excellent she is also just the loveliest person and always a pleasure to see.

We had the harmony test with the Birth Company and had a reassurance scan with sonographer Kirsty McGarry who was absolutely lovely and really put our minds at rest. We had been scared by our NHS dating scan and left feeling like there was something wrong. We explained the situation and was treated very professionally and with good care. Also speedy appointments also as I had phone in the morning and got an appointment by afternoon. So thankful.

Really friendly, efficient service. Great experience overall. Had the Panorama. My appointment was with Kate who was absolutely fantastic. The results came really quickly. Have a comparison with private healthcare elsewhere and must say that The Birth Company was just how I would like to be treated when I pay for medical services - attentively, calmly, friendly, in a pleasant environment that doesn't look like hospital. Top marks!

' Professional and friendly '
When I first contacted the Birth Company I spoke to Danielle. She was fantastic. She went above & beyond to put me at easy & make the journey from Kent as stress free as possible. Every staff member that myself and my husband have come into contact with have been approachable, professional and friendly. Kate scanned me the first time and put me completely at easy. Lisa on reception is professional and very approachable. Highly recommended

' Highly recommended '
Donald was so lovely! I was so nervous as I have a bad history and he was super quick and confirmed my baby's heartbeat as quickly as he could. He spent time showing me the baby and the anatomy and it was the best money I have ever spent! The reception girls were lovely too - considering they deal with babies day in day out they were super excited for me! Thank you so much one and all! If only I lived in London and could have all my scans with you!
