Important Information

All pregnancy scans, including our private scans, are optional. If you are in any doubt about having any type of pregnancy scan you should consult your own GP or Midwife. For our Early Pregnancy, Dating, NT, Anomaly & Growth scans, we take your healthcare professional’s contact details at the time of your booking. Our scans are designed to complement, not replace, any regular NHS antenatal scans and under no circumstances should they be seen as a substitute for advice from your own NHS healthcare professional adviser or any other scan offered to you by your NHS hospital or General Practitioner during your antenatal process, unless your Babybond scan is being carried out as a result of a direct referral by your GP or Midwife and as such is a private scan to be treated as the equivalent of your regular NHS scan.

The protocol used by Babybond for its ultrasound scans has never been shown to cause harm to either mother or baby. Babybond uses the As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) principle when scanning. The study of ultrasound safety continues to be reviewed by the British Medical Ultrasound Society (BMUS). On the very rare occasion that an unexpected problem is found, the Sonographer carrying out your scan will act upon their “duty of care” towards you and speak with your usual healthcare professional with your permission and you may also be offered an optional medical second opinion. Note that this may take up to 48 hours with weekend appointments.
