Scan Preparation

In order to get the best possible pictures of your baby, there are a couple of things you can do to help!

Please try to have a full bladder, not unbearably full but enough to be aware of it! Usually, 2 pints of water about an hour before your scan is plenty.

Also, please make sure you've had something to eat beforehand... babies don't move around as much when you've not eaten for a while!

Sometimes if the baby is not in the best position for your scan, we will ask you to go for a walk. This can often help reposition the baby and the surrounding fluid which can help improve the images.

Please come 5 minutes before your scan time.
