Private Pregnancy Scanning Services in London
You benefit from consultant-led imaging at every stage of your pregnancy with Grosvenor Gardens Healthcare. We deliver the compassionate care you need using the very latest tech to carry out each and every private pregnancy scan.
Working from our clinics in Dulwich and Belgravia, we provide expert early pregnancy scans, detailed third-trimester scans, and more to give you the reassurance and peace of mind you deserve during your pregnancy.
Early Pregnancy Scan London
Your early pregnancy scan is the first true glimpse you have of your baby. This scan is used to confirm pregnancy and is typically carried out between 6 and 10 weeks. We also check for a heartbeat and estimate the gestational age of your baby during this scan.
An early pregnancy scan is doubly important if you have been experiencing any pain or bleeding, or if you are uncertain about dates.
What to Expect During Your First Private Scan for Pregnancy
1. We start with a relaxed consultation with one of our expert consultants. You will discuss your pregnancy and your medical history.
2. Your Grosvenor Gardens specialist will then carry out an abdominal or a transvaginal ultrasound. This will depend on what stage of pregnancy you are in and how visible your baby is.
3. They will then clearly explain what the scan shows and give you some time to answer any questions that you may have after the scan.
When Should You Book an Early Pregnancy Scan?
It is always a good idea to book your early pregnancy scan around the 6th to 8th week of your pregnancy. These scans help us to:
Detect a heartbeat
Confirm that the pregnancy is progressing as expected
Give you a due date
Begin your antenatal planning
3D Pregnancy Scan London
A 3D pregnancy scan is typically carried out around the 26th and 32nd week of pregnancy when there is enough amniotic fluid and space to give us a clearer picture. A 3D scan allows expectant parents to see their baby in greater detail than a standard ultrasound. You will see detailed images of your baby’s facial features and their body shape.
These scans aren’t always medically required, but they do help to reassure expectant parents and help develop an emotional connection.
Advanced 4D Pregnancy Scan London
A 4D pregnancy scan offers live, real-time footage of your baby moving.
These scans are particularly memorable for parents and are available as part of a wellbeing or growth scan.
We offer 4D scans at Grosvenor Gardens Healthcare using top-of-the-line imaging equipment, offering you the chance to see your baby yawn, stretch, or even suck their thumb.

Mid-Pregnancy Scans London
Mid-pregnancy scans (like the anomaly scan) review the organ development of your baby and help us see the placental position.
