Get peace of mind with our Ultimate Scan Package
At the Portland Hospital, Outpatients we understand how important reassurance is during pregnancy, especially for parents seeking peace of mind regarding their baby’s health and development. Our Pregnancy Scan Package offers a comprehensive range of scans, starting from as early as 10 weeks with Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) and continuing through to 36 weeks, including a detailed pre-birth assessment.
This package is designed to support you at every key stage, ensuring your baby’s progress is monitored by our specialist senior sonographers. With a focus on continuity of care we’re here to provide clarity, comfort, and clinical excellence every step of the way.
Included in this package:
The NIPT is beneficial for those who are concerned about their baby having a chromosomal condition such as Down’s, Edwards’ or Patau's syndrome, older women and those with a history of chromosomal conditions in a previous pregnancy. The appointment includes a scan confirming all is well in the early stages of pregnancy and providing much needed reassurance. VeriSeq results are available within 2-7 calendar days.
Exclusive access to an early pregnancy class with an Antenatal Specialist or Consultant Obstetrician
Tailored support and guidance as you transition into your second trimester
Following a low probability result from the NIPT test you are seen again at the end of the first trimester for a reassurance scan. The sonographer will assess the development of the baby paying particular attention to the Nuchal translucency measurement and nasal bone as part of the baby’s anatomy. The baby’s movement, amount of amniotic fluid and placental position is also reported.
At 18-24 week gestations you will be having the fetal anatomy scan. It is a very thorough scan where measurements of the baby's head, brain, abdomen and legs are reported and plotted on a chart. The detailed anatomy of the baby is checked including heart, brain, spine, bowel and limbs to detect any anomalies. The fetal sex can be reported by scan at this stage if requested.
During this scan we measure the baby's head, abdomen and femur length, and estimate the baby’s weight. This gives a guide to your baby’s growth pattern. We also look at how the baby is moving, the amount of amniotic fluid, and where the placenta is located. We will also assess the Doppler blood flow in the umbilical cord blood vessels to check the placental function. You will receive a digital copy of your ultrasound report and a copy sent to your referrer if required. We will also send your imaging via email and print a scan photo.
The last scan of your package aims to offer information of the baby’s growth and wellbeing in the last stages prior to delivery. The position of the baby is checked as well as the estimated fetal weight as part of the pre-birth check. The growth, amniotic fluid, fetal activity and dopplers are the main focus of this scan.
