Written report of the scan
Please note that the aim of this scan is to ascertain any anomaly in the baby at the time of the scan, and we try our utmost to do that. However, with the best of intentions there is always a chance that certain anomalies are not visible clearly and may not be identified at this stage. This is considered a normal factor in the industry including the NHS. Peek-a-Baby/Ultrasound-Direct does not take any responsibility for any anomalies appearing or becoming evident at a later stage.
There will be an additional charge of £50 for twins.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL SCANS AT BIRMINGHAM ARE NOW CONDUCTED IN HIGH DEFINITION (HD LIVE) ON OUR NEW STATE OF THE ART HD MACHINES.
