Finding out the sex of your baby is an exciting time!
Although there are always some factors that will affect whether we’re able to successfully carry out your scan, if you follow these few simple steps, your results will be greatly improved:
Relax – if you’re tensed up and unsettled, your little one will be able to feel your tension and won’t want to move around! So, if you can, try to let go of any stresses, or speak to a team member if you’re struggling.
Drink enough water – if you’ve booked your scan for 20 weeks or under, it’s better to have a full bladder to gain clearer results.
Keep active – if you’ll be driving for a while, make sure you set time aside to walk around before your scan to get your baby moving a little.
Enjoy something sweet – having a fizzy drink and/or a sweet snack, like a bar of chocolate, 20 minutes before your appointment with us to help encourage fetal movement.
If you have any further questions about your scan, whether it’s how you need to prepare prior to or what happens during the process, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.
