Private Scans

These scans are carried out with exceptional accuracy using advanced imaging technology, ensuring that every assessment is thorough, safe, and delivered with the highest clinical standards.

Pregnancy can be an exciting yet emotional journey, and many expectant parents seek additional reassurance between routine NHS scans. Private scans provide the opportunity to monitor your baby more closely, receive immediate medical feedback, and discuss any concerns directly with a consultant. This continuity of care offers a level of personalised support that many parents value deeply.

Private scans are available throughout your pregnancy, typically beginning in the first trimester and continuing to the final weeks before birth. Each scan is tailored to your stage of pregnancy and individual clinical needs.

One of the benefits of consultant-led scanning is the expertise behind every interpretation. Dr Subramanian’s extensive background in fetal medicine ensures that any findings—routine or complex—are explained clearly and followed up appropriately. If additional monitoring or investigations are required, these can be arranged promptly, ensuring seamless continuity of care.

Private scans also provide parents with the opportunity to see their baby in detail. Many parents find this deeply reassuring, helping them bond with their baby early in the pregnancy. While the purpose of these scans is always medical, the emotional value they bring cannot be underestimated.

During each scan appointment, you will have time to discuss

• Your baby’s development
• Your pregnancy symptoms and concerns
• Any identified risks
• The ideal schedule for future scans
• Your delivery planning

This dedicated time with an experienced consultant ensures you feel well-informed and supported.

Private scans are particularly beneficial for women with **high-risk pregnancies**, such as those with previous pregnancy complications, medical conditions, fetal growth concerns, placental abnormalities, or risk of preterm birth. In these cases, more frequent and detailed scanning can make a significant difference in monitoring fetal wellbeing and planning safe delivery.

For low-risk pregnancies, private scans offer reassurance between routine NHS appointments. Many expectant parents choose additional scans simply for peace of mind and the opportunity to follow their baby’s growth more closely.

Dr Subramanian provides the following categories of private scans:

• Growth Scans
  To monitor fetal size, development, and wellbeing.
• Placental Assessment Scans
  To evaluate placental function, location, or complications.
• Growth Restriction Scans
  For babies suspected of being smaller than expected.

Each scan includes a detailed written report, measurements, and clear clinical recommendations. Where necessary, follow-up appointments and further investigations are arranged promptly.

Whether you are seeking reassurance or require advanced specialist monitoring, private scans with Dr Subramanian provide the confidence, continuity, and expertise every expectant parent deserves.
