Private Pregnancy Scan
Private pregnancy ultrasound scans across all stages. Experienced obstetric sonographers, modern equipment, and a reassuring environment — without the NHS wait.
About this scan
Private pregnancy scans use ultrasound to monitor baby's development, check for structural abnormalities, confirm dates, and provide reassurance throughout your pregnancy. Unlike NHS scans (which typically include only the 12-week dating scan and 20-week anomaly scan), private scans can be booked at any stage — including early pregnancy from 6 weeks.
All ScanBook pregnancy scans are performed by experienced, accredited obstetric sonographers. Images and a brief report are provided immediately, with a full written report within the same day.
