Presentation Ultrasound Scan
£145
Presentation scan is designed to provide expecting parents with an in-depth look at the position of their baby in the womb.
Our Presentation scan is performed to check the position of the baby inside the uterus, whether it’s cephalic (head down), breech (bottom down) or transverse (sideways) position. This information is important for the obstetrician to decide the mode of delivery.

What should I expect during presentation scan?
This scan is a trans-abdominal scan and will be performed by gliding the ultrasound probe over your abdomen. In some cases, a transvaginal scan may be needed to exclude a low placenta or a rare but dangerous condition called vasa praviea. This is when unprotected fetal vessels are close to or covering the cervix. If your sonographer is unable to exclude these conditions by scanning transabdominal then she may advise the need for an internal ultrasound. Both exams are is extremely safe and comfortable for you and your baby.
