Ascertaning the presentation of the fetus using ultrasound scans
A presentation scan is to ascertain the position of your baby in the womb. It provides valuable information about whether your baby is in the optimal cephalic (head-down) position for a smoother and safer delivery. It is usually done in the third trimester and can exclude a breech (bottom down) presentation which might cause difficulties in vaginal birth and require a planned Caesarean section. This may occasionally be visible during a 4D or growth scan.
During this scan, the sonographer uses an ultrasound probe to examine your baby’s presentation, placental site, and heart, offering insights into the baby’s well-being in preparation for birth.
What is contained in a presentation scan?
- A report on the wellbeing assessment, prepared by hand
- A fifteen-minute appointment
- No GP referral is necessary.
- Welcome to kids, family, and friends.
- Professional and pleasant group
Is the big day approaching quickly?
Our presentation scans can help to prepare you for childbirth without any nasty surprises. Presentation scans are available starting at 37 weeks and are very helpful if there is a possibility that the baby might be breech position.
During the scan, your placental position will also be looked at, allowing you to know exactly what your body is up to in the lead-up to the big day.
Images will also be taken during your scan, and you will be able to take them home with you. The 2D photographs you obtain with this bundle might not always be as clear, because of your baby’s size at this gestational period. You may or may not receive scan photographs, as this depends on the position of your baby during the scan.
Qualified and experianced sonographers with a great deal of prenatal scanning experience do all of our scans.
The easiest way to obtain a clear image during your presentation scan is to arrive with a full bladder. If you would like more information, please give us a call.

In Case You Still Have Questions
Do I need a GP/health care provider referral?
What is the referral process like?
We recommend that every one of our clients let their doctor or other healthcare provider know that they plan to get scanned by us. When you first arrive to Ultrasound Digital, you will be asked to fill out a registration form with information about your physician or healthcare provider.
Can I eat and drink before my scan?
Is it necessary to do an internal scan every time?
What do I need to wear for the scan?
What do I need to bring anything to my ultrasound scan?
Please bring along your hospital notes (if you have been given them) and reports to assist out Sonographers if a referral is required.
Will you advise me of any abnormalities?
Note that none of your NHS scans are replaced by our scans. Should a medical referral be necessary during your visit, we will address this with you and give you a comprehensive report to give to your physician.
Do I still need to visit the NHS if I had a scan with you?
Yes, our services are a complementary service, which works alongside the NHS.
Can I make a claim for my scans using my medical insurance?
After you pay Ultrasound Digital directly for your scan, we will send you an invoice. This is a private matter between you and your insurance provider, but it can be utilized to file a claim. Please verify this before your scan to avoid disappointment.
How many guests/children can come with me?
We can accommodate up to 3 individuals with the patient, and we are pleased for family and friends to attend. Kids are also welcome.
