Ultrasounds at your own request
With every new pregnancy a special time begins in your life. For most this is a joyous experience but for others it can be a time of anxiety and uncertainty. For example, if it has been difficult for you to conceive or you have had a miscarriage before. It can be reassuring to have options to check on your baby’s development during the early stages of your pregnancy. At Focus Midwifery Centre you can request an ultrasound at any stage of your pregnancy. You may book an early ultrasound to check on the baby’s heartbeat or at a later stage to check the sex or even to see your baby move thanks to 3D technology.
Remember that with every ultrasound we may have unexpected findings. We do not look with a medical eye at the fun ultrasounds, but if we notice something we will name it and, if desired, inform your midwife about this.
Fees
Ultrasounds by request are not covered by your health insurance and costs are payable prior to the examination.
What is a sex determination ultrasound?
At Focus Midwifery Centre it is possible to have a sex determination ultrasound from 14 weeks. Are you excited to find out and do not want to wait until the 20 week ultrasound? Then make an appointment for sex determination. Should the sonographer be unable to accurately determine the sex of your baby then another ultrasound will be arranged at your earliest convenience at no extra cost.
During this ultrasound we make use of 2D images, which are black and white and give you a ‘transparent’ view of the baby.
Beforehand you can purchase a USB stick from us which allows you to take your ultrasound images home.
We are unable to provide guarantees on sex determination and cannot accept liability for incorrect results.
