Fetal Ultrasound Centre

I am an Ultrasonographer, uniquely qualified and accredited with the Fetal Medicine Foundation to provide ultrasound screening for abnormalities in babies.

We provide a specialized fetal ultrasound service for patients under the care of a gynaecologist, midwife or general practitioner. Being mothers ourselves, we understand our patients. We are genuinely excited with each mommy - new or when it's their second or third baby! It is our privilege to share such a miraculous special time with you!

If you’ve never had an ultrasound before, you might be wondering what actually happens when you arrive. 🤍

Your appointment is a chance to slow down, see your baby and learn more about how your pregnancy is progressing.

Depending on the type of scan, we may look at baby’s growth, development, heartbeat, position and other important structures.

And of course, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions along the way.
If you’re unsure which scan you need next, get in touch with Fetal Ultrasound Centre, we’re happy to guide you.

Did you know your NT scan has a specific time window?

The Nuchal Translucency (NT) scan is performed between 11 weeks and 13 weeks, 6 days. During this scan, we measure a small pocket of fluid at the back of your baby's neck, which, together with a maternal blood test, helps assess the risk of certain chromosomal conditions, including Down syndrome.

This scan also allows us to:
✨ Confirm your baby's growth
✨ Check early fetal development
✨ Estimate your due date accurately
✨ Sometimes even determine your baby's gender!

Booking at the right time ensures the most accurate assessment, so don't wait too long to schedule your appointment.

Every pregnancy journey is unique.

While most scans bring joyful moments, sometimes unexpected findings require additional care and support.

If a concern is identified, our team will guide you through every step with compassion, clear communication, and referrals to specialised fetal medicine experts when needed.

You're never alone.

Our commitment is to provide not only advanced ultrasound care, but also reassurance, empathy and support throughout your pregnancy journey.
Because behind every scan is a family who deserves to feel cared for.

Tiny smiles.
Little yawns.
Stretching arms.
Those precious little cheeks…

A 4D ultrasound allows you to see your baby's movements in real time, creating an unforgettable bonding experience before birth.

The ideal time for a 4D scan is between 26 and 30 weeks, when baby's facial features are beautifully developed.

Sometimes babies love the camera… and sometimes they hide behind their little hands! Either way, every scan is uniquely special.

One of our most frequently asked questions…

Can my partner attend the scan? Absolutely.✨

Partners are always welcome to share this special experience with you.
For our detailed anatomy scans, children and extended family are asked to join only during the final few minutes, once all medical assessments have been completed. This allows our sonographers to concentrate fully while performing the examination.

It's a special moment you'll remember forever, and we love sharing it with you.

🤍 Placenta
🤍 Amniotic fluid

It's a detailed examination that allows us to assess your baby's development while giving parents another unforgettable glimpse of their little one.
