We are pleased to announce extended opening times for Alderley Edge. 
Free 4d preview. We can accurately tell you the sex from 16 weeks. All scans with accredited sonographers.
Sexing (gender) scans are performed at any stage after 16 weeks of pregnancy. The scan is for couples who would like to know the sex of their baby for social and family reasons. We do not do it to assist in sex selection. It is very accurate: 98%. If we have any doubt we will invite you for a repeat scan at no extra cost. It is more difficult in obese women.
Many NHS hospital will offer to tell the sex of the baby at the anomaly scan. Some may not. We offer it earlier than the anomaly scan.
A sexing or gender scan ideally is performed anytime after 16 weeks of pregnancy. The position of the baby and placenta are determined as well as the size of the head in two diameters, the size of the tummy and the length of the upper leg are measured. These are plotted on an expected size chart. The volume of amniotic fluid is assessed.
Sexing scans are usually done ‘transabdominally’ which means over the tummy.
As a second opinion Because I could not get it on the NHS Calm and relaxing environment I want to know earlier than the NHS will tell me.The sonographers are highly skilled and accredited in the performance of this scan. They will be able to talk to you if you have additional questions or concerns.
If you are having a normal pregnancy, then in most cases a scan by one of our experienced sonographers is advisable. All our sonographers are fully qualified and accredited, so you are in safe hands. If however, you are experiencing complications with your pregnancy or need a second opinion, a scan with our consultant is recommended.We offer morning, afternoon and evening appointments during the week, as well as weekend appointments. A surcharge will be applied for evening and weekend appointments. We have a wide range of availability therefore short notice appointments can be easily arranged.
Ultrasound scan results including gestational age and estimated due date. A report to file with your maternity notes. Ultrasound images Short video clips and ultrasound images sent electronically with a copy of your report.The Birth Company is the first clinic in UK to offer this service allowing you to share your pregnancy ultrasound with friends and family wherever they are in the world. This optional recording can be shared via Email, Facebook and Twitter. We will offer this to you routinely at the end of the scan. The transmission is instantaneous. Please note on this system currently there is no sound, only video. It is a national policy not to permit patient or partner's phone recording in a room. Simply tell your sonographer that you would like an electronic transmission of your scan. It will appear on your phone immediately.
A moderately full bladder will improve the visibility of the pregnancy by transabdominal scan. (global change)It is important that you always have the anomaly scan at 20-22 weeks.
YourBabyScan is available with all of our scans. You can share video of your scan with friends and family online securely within moments of your scan.

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!

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

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!
