Pregnancy scans

This treatment is available exclusively through our Private Patient Service at our RUH Bath site

We only offer pregnancy scans at our RUH Bath site. You can read more about this on our Private Patient Service page or call our friendly private patient team on 01761 422 331

The NHS maternity services at the Royal United Hospital Bath will provide you with the care you require during your pregnancy, birth and postnatally with your new baby.

In response to your feedback, we now offer additional private services at the RUH if you feel this is the right decision for you.

We offer a range of additional private maternity scans for various stages of your pregnancy.

These private scans are optional and additional to the routine NHS 12 and 20 week ultrasound scans that are important for checking your baby’s anatomy.

If you choose to have an additional private scan, you can be assured that this will be completed by a highly qualified and experienced Sonographer using the latest scanning technology.

Early Pregnancy Reassurance Scan

Early pregnancy can be a worrying time, so between 7 and 15 weeks we offer the option of a reassurance scan to reduce any anxieties you may have. You will still be offered an NHS screening/dating scan at 12 weeks.

Duration: 15 minutes. 

Biological Sex Scan

If you would like to find out the sex of your baby, we can confidently assure you of your baby’s sex with 97% accuracy. This scan can be booked from 16 weeks gestation. You will still be offered an NHS 20 week scan to check your baby’s anatomy.

Duration: 15 minutes. 

Additional Scan

We know it can feel like a long time between having the 20 week scan and meeting your baby. We offer you the choice of a scan during this time that will check your baby’s growth and heartbeat. You will also be provided with a well-being report to take home with you.

Duration: 15 minutes. 

3D/4D Baby Scan

Between 24-34 weeks, a 3D/4D scan is an exciting way to meet your baby before birth. You may even see your baby move, yawn, smile or sucking their thumb in live motion.

Duration: 30 minutes.
