Please note that you can bring only one person.
Q: Can I empty my bladder before the scan?
Q: What happens if a problem is detected on scan?
Most problems that need repeat scanning are not serious and approximately 15% of scans will need to be repeated for one reason or another. Follow-on medical care can be arranged at the National Maternity Hospital if you so wish.
