Baby Ultrasound Questions (Page 2)
Do I still need to go to the hospital?
Most certainly, Inner-Vision is not a replacement for hospital checks, appointments or scan and we do not offer advice on the management of your pregnancy or future care, that is decided at your local hospital.
Can the scan detect any unexpected abnormalities with the baby?
As this is a non-medical scan and the techniques used are not those best suited for a diagnostic scan we do not provide a detailed anatomy scan, however as the staff who do the scans are fully trained ultrasonographers if anything suspicious is seen we will inform you and with your permission liaise with your midwife or doctor and pass on our findings. Our staff are sonographers and midwives and are able to offer you a supportive environment for you to discuss any issues raised by the scan. We can only scan you at Inner-Vision if you have had a previous normal anomaly scan at your local hospital.
Can you tell the sex of the baby?
In most cases it will be possible to tell the sex of the baby with an accuracy of 95%, sometimes it will not be possible. If you want to know the sex we will tell you if we can see, we do not routinely look for this and will avoid showing you if that is your wish.
What do I need to bring with me?
All you need bring are you handheld pregnancy notes, oh and anyone you want to share the experience. We need the notes to calculate your gestation and contact details for your midwife or doctor if necessary.
Do I need a full bladder?
No, at this late gestation baby is big enough to be seen without having to 'fill up'
