If you’re feeling anxious after your ultrasound—or just confused by what was (or wasn’t) explained—you’re not alone. Many pregnant women leave their scans with more questions than answers. And if you’ve turned to Google to fill in the blanks, it probably hasn’t helped much.

That’s where an online pregnancy scan consultation can offer clarity and reassurance, from the comfort of your home. Whether you’ve had a private scan, an NHS visit, or you're considering another scan soon, this guide will walk you through exactly how a private ultrasound consultation works—so you can feel informed, supported, and in control.


What is an online pregnancy scan consultation?

It’s a one-to-one conversation with an experienced, registered sonographer who can:

  • Help you understand your scan results
  • Talk through the scan findings
  • Explain medical terms in plain English
  • Offer guidance on next steps—without pushing extra scans

It’s not a scan itself. Instead, it’s a chance to talk through any concerns or confusion you have after a scan—or before one.

💡
If you’re unsure whether your scan results are normal or wish for another opinion, this type of consultation can bring immediate peace of mind.

Who are these consultations for?

We support pregnant women around the world who:

  • Have had a scan and are confused by the results
  • Want a second opinion before deciding on further testing
  • Felt rushed or dismissed in a previous scan or consultation
  • Have a history of miscarriage or complications and want trusted support
  • Are early in pregnancy and unsure what should be visible on a scan and when

This service is helpful for women throughout the course of pregnancy — and we will do my very best to support any questions you may have.


What do I need to book one?

Here’s what helps us give you the best guidance:

  • A copy or photo of your scan report (if you have one)
  • Ultrasound image/images from your scan (again, if you have any)
  • A summary of what the sonographer, doctor or midwife told you
  • Any questions or concerns you’d like to ask

Don’t worry if you don’t have everything—just bring what you can. Many women show up with only a scan photo or vague notes. That’s okay. We meet you where you are.


Can I get advice even if the scan was done somewhere else?

Yes. In fact, most of our clients have already had a scan elsewhere—either at a private clinic or hospital. We’re completely independent, so you’re getting unbiased advice. No upsells. No scare tactics.


Will you tell me if something’s wrong?

We’ll always be honest with you—but never alarmist. If something doesn’t look quite right or needs a follow-up, we’ll explain it clearly and gently. And we’ll help you understand your options, whether that’s:

  • Rescanning
  • Speaking to your midwife or doctor
  • Asking more questions at your next appointment

We won’t pretend to replace your care team. But we will help you feel more confident when speaking to them.


How soon can I book?

Often within 24–48 hours. You can choose a time that suits your time zone, and consultations are offered over secure video or voice call.

We know that when you’re worried, time matters. That’s why we aim to keep things fast, clear, and easy.


What does it cost?

Our Clarity Call is priced fairly—because peace of mind shouldn’t be a luxury. You’ll find the current price and availability here. There’s no pressure to book further calls or scans. Most women find one call is all they need.


Will you interpret my scan images?

Yes—if you have them. While we can’t make a formal diagnosis without having personally performed a live scan, we can interpret the images available to us and explain them in real terms. That alone can lift a huge weight off your shoulders.


Is this service confidential?

Absolutely. We’re fully qualified and bound by medical ethics, just like in any hospital or clinic setting. Your information is private and secure.


Final thoughts: You don’t have to stay in the dark

Understanding your pregnancy scan shouldn’t feel like decoding a puzzle.

If you're feeling uncertain, a pregnancy scan consultation can give you the confidence and clarity you deserve—without having to wait weeks for another appointment or wade through medical jargon on your own.
