Yorkshire Baby Scan is a new service which offers ultrasounds to mums-to-be. Dr Jacqueline Tang MBchB MRCOG PgDip (US), Consultant Obstetrician and Clinical Lead, introduces the services on offer at the clinic and explains why you might consider having one.
Yorkshire Baby Scan is a team of experienced health care professionals that provide antenatal ultrasound scans and tests for your peace of mind throughout pregnancy. My team has been handpicked for their experience and expertise and we focus on the medical side of your pregnancy.
What scans are on offer at the clinic?
We offer a range of scans for different stages of pregnancy including but not exclusively:
Early Pregnancy Scan
This can confirm the presence of your baby’s heartbeat and confirm how many weeks you are pregnant. If you have had previous miscarriages or ectopic pregnancies an early pregnancy scan can help reassure you that all is well with your current pregnancy.
Anatomy Scan
Our sonographers will check your baby’s body to make sure your baby is growing well, and their anatomy is within normal parameters. Your sonographer will assess your baby’s head, brain, face, heart, stomach, kidneys, bladder, abdominal wall, spine, upper and lower limbs and look at the fluid that surrounds your baby within the limits of your pregnancy gestation.
Growth Scan
We recommend serial growth scans during pregnancy at 28, 32 and 36 weeks in order to monitor your baby’s growing velocity pattern. Your sonographer will check that your baby is growing within normal parameters by measuring their head circumference, abdominal circumference and femur length to give your sonographer the estimated weight of the baby.
NIPT Test
We also offer this non-invasive blood test. This test screens for specific chromosomal conditions in pregnancy such as Down’s syndrome, Edward’s syndrome and Patau’s syndrome.
