Before you pop in:

• Please have something sugary to eat and drink lots of fluids before your scan to give your baby extra energy and help us get the best images for you.

• Travelling in a vehicle can make your baby sleepy; a few gentle movements on leaving the car should wake baby up.

• Please arrive at our studio 5 minutes prior to your scan. This allows us to complete relevant paperwork and answer any questions you may have.

For more helpful preparation, see our section on what you need to know before your scan.
