Our Packages
DATING / REASSURANCE SCANS from 6 – 16 weeks £49
When you discover you're pregnant it is both exciting and overwhelming and we understand you may feel you need some early reassurance about your pregnancy before your routine 12-week hospital appointment.
My Baby Scan Burscough are able to offer you a scan as early as 6 weeks gestation with a report and 2 images. These appointments do not require a doctor’s referral and are an addition to your hospital scans.
All scans are performed by NHS trained qualified staff.
These scans are especially helpful for women who have a long or irregular menstrual cycle or those unsure of menstrual dates.
The scan will:
- Confirm there is a baby with a heartbeat
- Check if there is just one baby or you are expecting twins!
- Assess how many weeks pregnant you are and give you an estimated date of delivery (EDD).
We will check your baby is developing normally. We also understand that this may be the first time you have seen your baby so spend the time showing you your baby and pointing out all that we are able to see. For ladies with a BMI of over 30, we recommend waiting until 7 weeks in order to obtain a clearer image.
Occasionally it may be a little too early to see baby, especially if you have a long cycle or are unsure of dates, in this case we offer
a rescan free of charge.
If a problem is detected whilst we do not wish to worry you about your pregnancy we think it is important for you to have the knowledge that you will be looked after carefully and professionally. If a problem is detected during your scan we will discuss the findings with you and provide you with as much information as we can. We will advise you about contacting your local hospital’s Early Pregnancy Assessment Unit or your GP so that further medical follow-up can be made and issue a report which you can take with you.
Please attend for your scan with a full bladder, by drinking approximately a litre of water an hour before your appointment.

4D SCANS
We offer a range of 3D/4D packages. All these include assessing the gender of baby, however if you want to keep that a surprise and don’t want to know if you’re expecting a boy or girl, we can still scan you and avoid looking! All scans include HD live scanning at no extra cost.
The optimum time for these scans is 27 - 32 weeks when the baby is a little more mature for the facial features, however if you have an anterior (front wall) placenta, then we advise 27 weeks as the placenta can sometimes be over the face and make imaging more difficult.

NON INVASIVE PRENATAL TESTING (NIPT). £420 - This includes a private consultation with a Consultant Obstetrician who will counsel you about the test and answer any questions you may have. He will also perform the scan to check the size of baby then take your blood sample. We are the only company in the region to offer the services of an Fetal Medicine Consultant.
Non-Invasive pre-natal testing (NIPT) is a screening test to predict the chance of your baby having a chromosomal abnormality.
Conventional screening will detect approximately 70-80% of pregnancies with Down’s syndrome. Screening currently provided by the NHS is the ‘combined screening’, which is a measurement of the baby and fluid behind baby’s neck, the Nuchal Translucency, along with a blood test. This is performed between 11 – 13 weeks 6 days gestation.
The Harmony blood test detection is approximately 99%.
The Harmony test is a new non-invasive prenatal screening test (NIPT), which can be performed from 10 weeks gestation and is now one of the most predictive and accurate non-invasive tests available to predict chromosomal abnormality.
The test is a simple blood test taken from the mother, which is then analysed to be tested to identify more than 99% of babies with Down’s syndrome (Trisomy 21), 98% of babies with Edwards syndrome (Trisomy 18) and 92% of babies with Patau’s syndrome (Trisomy 13).
Please click the harmony test link to find out more www.ariosadx.com My Baby Scan Burscough are also on the list of trusted providers for Antenatal Results and Choices (ARC), which provides information to parents throughout antenatal testing www.arc-uk.org/
An ultrasound scan is always performed prior to your blood test to ensure you are at the correct gestation (over 10 weeks). This option is also available for twin pregnancies
Your scan will be discussed and if you wish to proceed with screening we will take your blood sample.
Your blood sample will be packaged and sent the same day to The Doctors Laboratory (TDL) based in London.
The test is primarily used for the detection of Trisomy 21,18 and 13, however you can request X and Y analysis providing ocomplete accuracy for your baby’s gender.
The results are usually available in 5-7 working days from receipt of the sample in the laboratory in London.
Occasionally, there is insufficient fetal DNA in the sample to provide a result. In this case you will be offered a second blood test at no extra charge.
You will be contacted by telephone when the results have been received at My Baby Scan Burscough. The results will also be posted to you.
What do I do after my test?
If you have a low risk result you should still attend your 12 week NHS scan and advise that the Harmony test has been performed.
If you have a high risk result we will inform your booking hospital where you will be able to speak to someone about the results.
