Our Early Pregnancy Scans

Cancellations within less than 24 hours of appointment

If you need to cancel a scan within 24 hours of your scheduled appointment time then you will lose your entire payment..  This cannot be rescheduled as we would be unable to sell this space in such a short time. Please see our terms and conditions.

Cancellations more than 24 hours before appointment

If you need to cancel  your appointment more than 24 hours before the appointment then an admin charge of £5 will be chargeable.

(This covers our card charges, text charges, lost sales as cannot resell and paperwork costs)

Rescheduling appointments 

If more than 24 hours before the appointment you wish to reschedule your appointment then this can be done at no cost providing you call and re arrange directly with the studio.

We welcome family, friends and children to share your experience. We have large scan rooms with HD projector screens. We have seating for 6 in each studio and additional standing room.

A full bladder is NOT necessary for our scans unless you are earlier than 12 weeks gestation. This is because a full bladder can help to lift the uterus so it is clearer for our abdominal scans.

Transvaginal Scans

At MYM we choose not to offer transvaginal scans as they are invasive and can be provided by the NHS should they be necessary. Our scans are available from 7/8 weeks abdominally.

CQC – Care Quality Commission

We are a registered provider with the Care Quality Commission, this ensures the quality of our service is of the highest standard and your safety is assured.

Re-scans are a complimentary serive offered at the discretion of your sonographer on the day of your scan. All rescans must be taken within 10 days of the previous appointment.  No client can be allowed more than two free re-scans. Re-scans are available at limited times and not on Saturdays.

Re-scans are not available on reassurance scans.  It is so important that you are  sure of your dates before attending as we only offer scans abdominally.

The primary purpose of all our scan packages is the protection and maintenance of the health of mother and baby. All scans include a wellbeing check and wellbeing report. If we see something on the scan that we feel needs a referral to the NHS we will of course advise you appropriately and make the referral to the NHS. If your sonographer believes that there is any area of your baby’s development that needs to be brought to your attention they will discuss their findings openly with you.

A visit to Meet your miracle should be used to supplement, but not as a replacement for your NHS care.

We will explain everything you are seeing and engage you fully in your scan experience. If sadly we cannot see a heartbeat we will support you by making a direct referral to the local NHS Early pregnancy maternity unit.

No. Despite extensive studies in recent years, ultrasound has not been shown to cause any harm to mum or baby. Ultrasound scans have been used in pregnancy for decades and this works on the exact same principles as your 2D hospital scan with the software creating the 4D images using sound waves. Our radiographers and midwife sonographers  carrying out your scans will always follow the correct guidelines to ensure the safety of you and baby.

We recommend that you ensure you are at least 7 weeks  pregnant before attending MYM. Prior to 7 weeks there is every chance that nothing will be seen on your scan as the pregnancy has not developed enough and baby is too small.

There will be no re-scan offer if this is the case as the appointment and dating has still been performed. We would advise taking a digital pregnancy test and ensure the result is at least 5+ weeks before attending a scan.
