Frequently Asked Questions

We allow a full twenty minutes for all of our ultrasound scans. This allows you to make the most
of the time spent watching your baby in real time as they grow. Having a longer appointment
time also means that you can ask any questions regarding your baby or if you have any
concerns we can address these during the scan and guarantee you get what you need from
your ultrasound scan.

Your scan images and report are uploaded to your Highway Health/Oh Baby Ultrasound
account, where you can access all images, videos and the report from the day of your scan. You
will receive an email when your file is ready, containing a link which takes you to our website.
You are required to have registered an account with us and using your account login and
password you will have access to your file. It is recommended you download the contents of
your scan as we do not keep your images/report indefinitely.

Once you have booked your appointment with Oh Baby Ultrasound, you can amend your appointment by calling us on 02825 582 258. We will do our best to accommodate any changes to your appointment.

Please note changes may not always be possible and you may lose the booking fee paid at the time of booking the appointment.

We ask that you attend the clinic a minimum of five minutes before your appointment time. This allows us to check you in and confirm your details and let your Sonographer know you have arrived, whilst you wait in our comfortable seating area.

Please notify us by telephone on 02825582258 as soon as possible and we will try to accommodate lateness to the best of our ability.

If you arrive to your appointment late, although we will do our best, we cannot guarantee we will be able to proceed with your scan. Our clinic is busy and lateness/delays will affect our future appointments.

Please ensure you allow enough travel time/time to find parking when preparing for your appointment.

A qualified Sonographer will complete your scan. Our Sonographers are fully qualified and registered medical professionals with lots of ultrasound experience. Our Sonographers are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council and follow the British Medical Ultrasound Society protocols and guidance.

Totally! We strongly admire the patience of those who can wait until the birth to see if they are having a boy or a girl, and if this happens to be you – WELL DONE! Our Sonographers will always ask whether you already know/or if you want to find out the gender and if you don’t we will simply ask you to look away during this part. This also applies if you would like to keep it a surprise for a BIG REVEAL, and we can even provide you with a large variety of gender reveal items that help keep the secret until you choose to reveal it.

The scan description and when the best time for that particular scan is outlined under each scan
on our website however if you are unsure or you have any additional questions you can call us
on 02825 852258 for additional help when making your booking. Our friendly staff can help
direct you to the most appropriate service and ensure the timing is right for you based on your
individual needs.

We want this to be a pleasant and informative experience for you. In order for us to do this, we require you to arrive at the clinic at least five minutes before your appointment time and attend with an empty bladder. Other than that, we want you to sit back and relax in our beautifully decorated, comforting clinic.

Please note all health scans are best performed trans-vaginally for increased clarity and accurate results. You choose not to have an internal scan and we may be able to complete the scan abdominally but results may not be as accurate.

We understand the importance and excitement of a new baby and because of this welcome ALL the family here at Oh Baby Ultrasound. Unlike other clinics we allow children, grandparents, aunts and uncles the lot! We recommend 5 people maximum attend the scan with you as this limits disruption and allows us to help you with any questions you may have during your moments with baby although we may be able to accommodate more guests with prior communication.
