Pregnancy Scan Costs at the London Pregnancy Clinic

Please be advised that twin pregnancies are charged +20% for each private ultrasound scan in London – we look at each baby individually and so it takes the clinician twice as long compared to the examination of one baby.

Similarly, triplets are charged at +40% the quoted scan price, in 20% increments per baby.

Triplets are not eligible for NIPT.

Our NIPT packages come alongside our revolutionary early anomaly pregnancy ultrasound scans (10 week scan or early fetal scan) to screen for structural anomalies as well as chromosomal anomalies. We offer a choice between two NIPT providers, panorama NIPT or harmony NIPT:

• Panorama NIPT
  Performed in the US by Natera, superior NIPT results with a low no-call rate and a low fetal fraction cutoff. Turnaround time is typically 7-10 working days.
• Harmony NIPT
  Most well known NIPT brand as it has been around the longest. Performed by TDL in London with a turnaround time 3-5 working days in 95% of cases. Can sometimes take up to 7 working days if the first tube fails.
• PrenatalSAFE NIPT
  Performed by EuroFins in Guildford with a turnaround time 3-5 working days in 98% of cases. Can sometimes take up to 7 working days if the first tube fails.

Please note – we strongly recommend waiting for 10 weeks + 2 days / 9 weeks + 2 days when booking your harmony/panorama NIPT (respectively) appointment. The labs require the CRL measurement of the gestational age of the baby to be at least 10 weeks. Sometimes CRL estimation can differ from your LMP gestational age. This is to ensure that there is enough cfDNA in the mother’s blood to perform the test reliably (also referred to as ‘fetal fraction’.) We reserve the right to charge an extra £50 in case you require a repeat appointment to draw the bloods if you have come in before 10 weeks to cover our staffing costs.

In case of ‘no call’ results, we will arrange another appointment for a repeat test and scan free of charge.

We use the latest 2D/3D/4D ultrasound equipment. Our doctors main concern is to screen for your baby’s health. Once we are satisfied the pregnancy is developing normally, our doctor will happily share the ultrasound images from your scan. Since we are a medical centre, we do not take images of your baby for keepsake purposes, meaning we cannot guarantee the quality of images. We can determine the baby’s gender with a high certainly from 13 weeks using ultrasound (about 95% accurate). From 14 weeks the baby’s gender can be determined at close to 100% accuracy using ultrasound.

At London Pregnancy Clinic, we pride ourselves for being an ethical medical institution. Our scans are all medical, we do not offer quick standalone gender/4D scans. We are happy to provide these as an add on service to anomaly screening scans where we aim to check the wellbeing of your baby.

On rare occasions where we find something unexpected during this routine screening, we may not be able to provide these services as we’ll be focusing on the diagnosis and referring you to the relevant specialist.
