What are antenatal tests?
During your pregnancy, regular check‑ups and scans help ensure you and your baby are healthy and developing as expected. These include blood pressure, urine and blood tests to monitor your wellbeing and screen for conditions such as anaemia, pre‑eclampsia and gestational diabetes. Scans assess your baby’s growth and can identify congenital conditions or chromosomal differences, including Down’s syndrome.
We offer consultant‑led pregnancy scans at every stage, from early reassurance scans to detailed assessments for higher‑risk pregnancies. Our advanced imaging includes 3D, 4D and colour scans, alongside specialist investigations led by internationally recognised experts. We are world‑renowned for pioneering fetal medicine, including the first routine fetal cardiac MRI service and the world’s first fetal cardiac intervention.
Whether you’re seeking peace of mind with an early pregnancy scan or require additional tests for a high-risk pregnancy. As part of our private maternity services, you can access private pregnancy scans, antenatal tests and investigations. All services are provided by leading maternity specialists at the Westminster Maternity Suite at St Thomas’ Hospital.
