Rapid Reassurance Scan

Description

Elite Community Ultrasound (ECU) is delighted to offer this Rapid reassurance scan for all pregnant women who are 16 years or above and in pregnancy between 10 weeks and full term. However, this scan is not a substitute of 12 weeks combined and 20 weeks anomaly scans which are offered in the NHS.

While the scan may not detect all conditions, a normal result cannot guarantee the absence of abnormalities.

This scan includes:

• A verbal report and related two b/w printed images of unborn baby.

 Our Rapid reassurance scan is a safe, painless, and radiation-free baseline medical imaging to:

• Reassure you by showing the baby’s heartbeat and movements.

  Reasons for having this scan:

• Reassurance (Peace of mind).
• Meeting with your baby between both NHS offered scans (12weeks and 20weeks), as well as before 12 weeks and after 20 weeks.
