You should allow approximately 45 - 90 minutes for the appointment. Occasionally, if the baby is in an awkward position we will ask you to have a drink and have a walk.
In most cases, with the latest technology and experience of the sonographers, great images are produced. However, in some cases the imaging of your baby can be difficult with variable results due to a range of factors. These factors include the position of your baby, the position of the placenta, the amniotic fluid surrounding the baby and the size of the mother - most of which are unpredictable at the time of scanning.
If we feel the images at the time of the scan are not up to the standard we feel we could achieve then we will offer you another appointment at no further cost. |
