At Bump 2 Baby Scans, our dating scans in Leicester are designed to give you clear answers early on, in a calm and supportive medical-style setting. This scan helps confirm your pregnancy timeline and gives you reassurance at the very start of your journey.
The dating scan can be described as a pregnancy ultrasound that is used to determine the number of weeks pregnant you are, and also to determine the date of your due date. It is focused on reassurance and accuracy instead of detailed images.
