Wellbeing/Growth scan
As you near the end of your pregnancy, you may wish to know how well your baby is growing. Our growth scan will provide you with an estimation of your baby’s weight at the time of your scan.
What is a Growth Scan?
You will be able to see how your baby is changing and developing and take some time to bond with baby before they arrive.
During this scan the Sonographer will perform measurements of your baby
All of these measurements are obtained by producing images which include anatomical landmarks to ensure the correct measurement is being made. By producing these measurements our ultrasound equipment uses a formula to estimate the weight of your baby. The measurements produced are displayed on growth charts.
Others checks the sonographer will make during your Growth scan are:
- Fetal heartbeat check
- Presentation: this is the position your baby is lying within the uterus. This may be Cephalic (head down), Breech (head up), Transverse (across the uterus) or Oblique (diagonal)
- Placental Location: this is to check the position of the placenta. The placenta may be anterior (along the front of the uterus), posterior (along back), fundal (along the top) or lateral (at the side). We will check whether the placenta is low lying. This is where it reaches or covers the internal Os which is the exit for your baby.
- Amniotic Fluid Volume: this is the amount of amniotic fluid (waters) around your baby
- It may be necessary to check the blood flow through the umbilical cord
- Baby’s gender if requested
- Free 4D Peek if your baby is in a favourable position
- Printed black and white images.
- Can only be completed, provided growth measurements have not bee completed within the previous 14 day period.
Cost: £80
Growth Scan and a free 4D Peek form 28 weeks
A Growth scan can be performed form 28 weeks up until 36 weeks.
Measurements include:
- Head Circumference (HC): A measurement around your baby’s head
- Abdominal Circumference (AC): A measurement around your baby’s abdomen
- Femur Length (FL): A measurement of your baby’s femur
We will discuss the scan and issue you with a full scan report to present to your usual health professionals. Following this scan a referral to your booking hospital may be arranged.
Glowing reviews
Went for an early scan after a family member recommended here and then came for a 4D scan with my grandmother who is terminally ill. The ladies here could not have been more accommodating and made it such a lovely experience for us as a family despite the circumstances even just from the phone call enquiring and asking many questions. They are extremely patient here and even though the appointment time flies you aren't made to feel rushed at all. My Nan was thrilled with her surprise trip and loves the pictures we took away with us also.

We had an early reassurance scan at 6 week and a gender scan at 16. Would definitely recommend Babyvision to others - a lovely location, and reasonably priced for peace of mind around NHS scans
My husband and I visited Babyvision with my mother-in-law for a 31 week growth scan. We've had a number of scans at different facilities during the course of our pregnancy but this was by far the best experience so far. The staff were extremely attentive and accommodating, going out of their way to wear facemasks and keep their distance from my mother-in-law who is currently undergoing chemotherapy. The sonographer was very thorough, talking us through everything in detail and making a real effort to get us the best 4D view possible of our baby. In other facilities we have been in and out within 10 minutes, but at Babyvision you could tell the staff really cared about satisfying your needs as best as they can. Unfortunately as we don't live in the area it's unlikely we will be back again to visit before our baby arrives, but I couldn't recommend Babyvision more highly to anyone looking for a private scan.
Thank you again to the staff for making us feel so safe and welcome during our visit, we really appreciate it.

After abit of a hiccup with the first scan experience Ruth rang me and offered a complimentary re scan for my twins, very happy with the service today nice & welcoming and lots of detail whilst the scan was being done on each baby. Thankyou
My partner and I went for our 20 week scan at Shrewsbury but unfortunately the little one would not let us know what we were expecting (legs closed to tight). Called baby vision and they very kindly made space for a gender scan as my partner had a reveal party in 2 days. We also did our first babies 4D scans here too brilliant company very friendly and the site is lovely. Thank you!
When I visited here, I was impressed by how the team created a tailored experience during our appointment. Made our whole journey feel more special.
Cant recommended babyvision enough, lovely location, lòvely staff. We got plenty of time to see our baby and got shown hands and feet, and saw them moving around. we wanted to keep the gender to ourselves so it was so discrete and popped into an envelope for us. we got loads of pictures all beautifully presented in card pockets as keep sakes. i would highly recommend to anyone!!
we found out we are having a girl so thank you to the team at babyvision it was perfect

I highly recommend babyvision. I've been for 2 reassurance scans and Ruth was extremely reassuring and helpful. I felt comfortable and Ruth was very happy to answer any questions that I had. When I went at 6 weeks Ruth took her time to let me see the heartbeat flicker.
I will defo be returning for our gender scan in a few weeks time 🥰 x

I used Babyvision twice in my 2nd pregnancy, first for an early reassurance scan and second for a 4D scan.
Both times we were so comfortable with the ladies there. They are so friendly and very knowledgeable.
On my early scan they went into great detail and even told me which ovary the egg had come from which I found amazing.
My 4D scan was equally as detailed and as we didn't want to know the gender they were very careful not to show anything that would give it away.
I would highly recommend Babyvision for scans at any stage.

I first came to baby vision when I was a teenager to first see my baby sister on the screen, about 9 years ago and have now come back in the last few years to meet my own two little boys. My experiences with baby vision have always been faultless, the staff have been so welcoming and reassuring and the atmosphere and location of the building is lovely. I will be sad to have my last baby vision scan with my current pregnancy as I think it will be my last, but very grateful for the memories I have, thank you ❤️
