When can you get a Bonding Scan?

You can book a Bonding & Wellbeing Scan if you’re between 12 and 38 weeks pregnant. Your baby’s position on the day can affect what’s visible during the scan.

Are Bonding Scans safe?

Yes. Bonding scans use ultrasound (sound waves, not radiation). They’re performed by qualified professionals using appropriate settings and scan time to obtain clear views.

How accurate are Bonding Scans?

What can be seen depends on factors like gestational age and baby’s position. We use modern, high-spec ultrasound equipment to provide clear views, and our sonographers will explain what you’re seeing throughout the scan.

When will I get the results of my Bonding Scan?

You’ll see your baby in real time during the appointment, and you’ll be talked through the findings on the day. You can also request digital images and a report, depending on what you choose at booking.

Can a Bonding Scan detect my baby’s heartbeat?

Yes. During the scan, you can view the heartbeat and you may see the BPM (beats per minute) reading.

Can I find out the gender of my baby during a Bonding Scan?

If you’d like to know, you can request optional gender confirmation during your appointment (subject to clear views on the day).
