A Comprehensive Guide to Our Pregnancy Services
Pregnancy is a wondrous journey filled with anticipation, and ultrasound scans are the window through which you can witness the magic of your growing baby. At Clayton Clinic, we offer a range of specialised scans designed to provide you with precious insights at different stages of your pregnancy.
1. Early Reassurance Scan (6-14 Weeks)
The early reassurance scan is conducted between 6 to 14 weeks. This scan aims to confirm the presence of a viable pregnancy, verify the baby's heartbeat, and estimate your due date. Early reassurance scans offer parents peace of mind during the delicate first trimester and foster a strong emotional connection with their little one.
2. Gender Scan (From 14 Weeks)
The gender scan, available from 14 weeks, brings an exciting surprise to your pregnancy journey. During this scan, our expert sonographers can reveal the gender of your baby, creating a cherished moment for you and your partner. We can also keep it a secret, in case you’re having a gender reveal party! Sharing this special moment with loved ones adds to the joy of anticipating your baby's arrival.
The anomaly scan, performed between 18 to 23 weeks, is a comprehensive examination of your baby's anatomy. Our skilled team meticulously assesses your baby's organs, bones, and body structures to ensure they are developing correctly. Detecting any potential abnormalities early on can facilitate timely interventions and provide invaluable peace of mind.
4. Growth & Presentation Scan (24-40 Weeks)
Throughout the latter half of your pregnancy, growth and presentation scans are conducted to monitor your baby's development. Typically done between 24 and 40 weeks, these scans carefully track your baby's growth and position in the womb. Our team can assess the baby's presentation, ensuring they are in the optimal position for a smooth delivery.
5. 4D Imaging Scan (24-34 Weeks)
The 4D imaging scan, available from 24 to 34 weeks, offers a captivating glimpse into your baby's world. This advanced scan creates real-time, three-dimensional images and videos, allowing you to witness your baby's movements and expressions. The 4D imaging scan provides a unique bonding experience, capturing precious memories before your baby's arrival.
6. Panorama Test (From 9 Weeks)
The Panorama test, offered from 9 weeks, is a non-invasive prenatal screening test that examines your baby's DNA to assess their genetic health. This innovative test can detect common chromosomal conditions, such as Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, and Patau syndrome, with remarkable accuracy. The Panorama test provides early reassurance and empowers parents with valuable information for informed decision-making.
