Private Anomaly Baby Diagnostic Scan
What are anomaly scans? This is often a question that we get asked.
An anomaly scan is a 30 minute appointment in which to complete a diagnostic scan to check for any major physical abnormalities or anomalies in the baby. This scan is best performed around 18-21 weeks of the pregnancy.
The scan looks in detail at the baby’s bones, heart, brain, spinal cord, face, kidneys and abdomen, with a view to investigate the:
- Position of Placenta
- Development of Foetus
- Anatomical Structures
- Measurement at the expected gestational age
- Cardiac Abnormalities
- Presence of cleft lip
- Presence of open spina bifida
In the event of any concerning results found by the sonographer, you will be advised to contact your GP or the midwife immediately.

Whats Included in a Private Anomaly Baby 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.
