Scanning & Maternity Services
A pregnancy can be seen from as early as 7 weeks from your last period. At this stage the pregnancy is of course small, but the baby’s heart beat may be clearly visualised.
Aside from confirming the presence of the heart beat, the number of babies can be counted, the normal orientation within the womb and a measurement to confirm the stage of pregnancy. Often the baby can be seen making small movements, which are amazing to the mother to be.
If you have had any bleeding or pain or any other symptoms the scan will accurately confirm viability.
If we do find any problems we will refer you to your chosen hospital and arrange an appointment directly with them for you.
No additional charges for twin pregnancies.
Late Reassurance - This scan allows the parent(s) to be, the chance to be reassured that their baby is developing normally and another opportunity to bond with their baby. Measurements of the baby are taken to check the dates/growth and check the overall Wellbeing of the baby.
Presentation Scan from 36 weeks - the position or presentation of the baby can be determined using ultrasound. Occasionally, towards the end of your pregnancy, the position of the baby can be in doubt i.e. Head down or Breech. This scan will determine the position and the size of the baby. If at any time in your pregnancy you require reassurance then the position, size and wellbeing can be obtained in a reassurance scan. At both of these scans the volume of fluid around the baby and the placental position will be checked.
The appointment is up to 20 minutes and includes a Black and white glossy print. We will include a free view in 4D, the images may be restricted due to the position of the baby at the later stage.
No additional charges for twin pregnancies.

The appointment will include a full antenatal check for you and the baby. Sweeping of membranes is a safe method to reduce the length of term in pregnancy and the incidence of prolonged gestation in a low-risk population. There is no evidence that sweeping the membranes increases the risk of maternal or neonatal adverse outcomes. The procedure has been evidenced that performed within the term (37-41 weeks) stage of pregnancy is safe. However tummy2mummy prefer to perform the sweeps at the earliest 39 weeks as evidence has shown it be more successful at the later stage.
A membrane sweep involves an internal vaginal examination. The midwife will place a finger just inside your cervix and, making a circular sweeping movement, will attempt to separate the membranes from the cervix. This will stimulate the release of hormones that may start contractions. It may be uncomfortable but should not cause actual pain; you may also experience a mucus/bloodstained ‘show’ like a discharge, following this, which is quite normal. Following the examination you will be offered refreshments and the opportunity to discuss the findings.
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a normal bacterium which colonises up to 30% of adults in the UK, without symptoms or side-effects. GBS can cause infection, most commonly in newborn babies before, during or shortly after birth.
GBS can more rarely cause infection in adults (typically women during pregnancy or after birth, the elderly and people with serious underlying medical conditions which impair their immune system). Women are not offered routine GBS screening within the NHS.
At the appointment we will perform the procedure using the Enriched Culture Medium (ECM) testing. When the test is completed we will send off to the laboratory for the test to be completed. You will receive the results within a few days by text message direct from the laboratory. Please visit NHS choices web site for information for GBS and the different tests.

These tests are taken by one of our qualified healthcare professionals at any one of our clinics and are sent to the laboratory for testing, The result will be fed back to you as soon as 48 hours after them being received.
