Why Choose a Private Early Scan with MyBaby4D

More time, less rush
Private scans give you and your partner more time to view your baby in a calm and comfortable setting.
Flexible scheduling
Private scans are often available sooner and have more flexibly in scheduling than standard NHS appointments.
Privacy & Comfort
Private clinics typically offer a more personal experience — privacy, a comfortable and supportive atmosphere.
Preparing for your early pregnancy scan
You can prepare for your early pregnancy scan by ensuring that you are properly hydrated in the 24 hours before your appointment. Please arrive well hydrated.
This is a 20 minute appointment, please note that the actual scan length may vary. We require a new consent form for every scan you have with us. We will send you one by email or text to complete before your appointment. If you are unable to complete this online, please arrive 5-10 minutes prior to your appointment time to complete your paperwork. Please note that if you don’t arrive early to complete your paperwork, this may cut into your appointment and scan time.
Please bring your pregnancy notes with you. We may not need them, but it is helpful if our qualified Sonographers need to refer to them at any stage during your early pregnancy scan.
It is advisable to wear loose fitting clothing.
It is sometimes necessary during the earlier stages of pregnancy to offer an internal scan. This is because it can be difficult to see the fetus via the abdomen at this stage. Many factors influence this (including hydration). Please ensure you arrive for your scan with a full bladder if you are 8-15 weeks. As with all of our scans, you have the right to refuse or stop the procedure at any time.
Sometimes period dates can be different from the actual gestational age, this means we may not be able to locate or visualise the fetus and heartbeat. In this instance a rescan will be advised in 2 weeks time to allow for sufficient growth. It is advisable to book a little later than 6 weeks by your period count.
Additional images, digital downloads of your scan images and a variety of products are available at MyBaby4D Watford to purchase on the day.
