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: £90
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.

Myself and my partner were made to feel so welcome by Jean and Kelly while we were visiting Babyvision. We went for a Reassurance scan at 11 weeks after a bit of a scare when my partner suffered some severe cramps. We were able to book and be seen within 24 hours using the website, which was great.
The location is stunning and calming, the environment inside matches the location, there are comfy sofas while you wait and Jean was able to calm our nerves while waiting with knowledge and support.
Whilst inside the scan room Kelly was fantastic with her explanations and reassurance throughout the scan. Again, her knowledge and support was invaluable to first time parents such as ourselves.
I honestly couldn't recommend Babyvision enough!

Would 100% recommend.
Such a beautiful and welcoming location too! I would just like to say a massive thank you to the wonderful women who work here!!
*trigger warning*
I had a heavy bleed at 11 weeks, rushed to A&E and was unpleasantly told to ‘go home and let nature take its course’. I rang Baby Vision on the same day and those kind and caring women comforted both my partner and I and then offered to book us in for an emergency scan over their lunch break! The support we were given and kindness that we were shown were unparalleled and I can’t thank them enough for easing our mind and showing us our beautiful baby, when we were so scared that we’d lost him.
I’m now 20 weeks and expecting a little boy in July ❤️

Ruth and Jane have been taking care of my baby since it was just a follicle!
If you are looking for a follicular tracking clinic this is it. At very affordable prices and in a beautiful location you will be taken care of and put at ease. Now that I am pregnant I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else to track my baby’s development.
Thank you both for all the care and attention given to us.

Booked scan this morning for 3:10pm today. Staff were absolutely lovely and really reassuring. Iv just booked to come back next month for a 4D scan. Thank you so much and we are excited to see you again at 16 weeks !
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.
Most of life problems & struggles are spiritual and the solution needs spiritual remedies be it health problems, financial problems, Job promotion, fertility spell ,marital problems, protection, divorce spell, attraction, money rituals, Love spell, Marriage spell , I realized this after Olu Ega helped me through a difficult problem, he is a gifted spell caster, contact himn for any life challenges and she will provide solutions I recommend him 💯

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!
