We have been lucky enough to have two successful scans with the Well Woman and Baby Room (so far - we will definitely be back for more) Very personal service and we were given ample to time to see our baby, listen to his heartbeat and ask lots of questions. Very professional and knowledgeable, I felt instantly at ease at a particularly anxious time. Would definitely recommend!!

Emma

Lyndsey done quite a few scans when I was pregnant with my little girl.. She was amazing we also found out she had bilateral talipes and when Lyndsey noticed her feet she was amazing and explained things a lot better than the hospital did. I now wouldn't go anywhere else if I ever have any more children ! Xx.

Hayley

This woman is second to none. Not only is she a sonographer but a midwife too. She is sensitive, funny, warm, professional but incredibly kind and gentle. The waiting area is modern and huge with free drinks available. You get lots of pictures but what is more important you get a very thorough scan that isn't rushed. I love taking my daughter to see Lindsay. I work with ante natal women so I can assure anyone that this service is truly amazing. Thank you Lindsay from Rosie, Jenny, Sam and baby Teddy oh and new little pink 16 week old bump xx.

Rosie

Where do I start...Lyndsey is just an amazing woman she's helped, cared and reassured me though times when I'm been anxious and given me amazing support! She's very friendly appreciable and makes you feel comfortable! I cannot recommend this baby room and Lyndsey enough!!

Jade

Amazing service provided by an amazing lady. Helped us during such a stressful time, and would always fit in last minute appointments and be super understanding of our worries and concerns. Cannot recommend highly enough! Xxx

Sarah

What an experience! Saw Lindsay last night for our 4D scan, and it was truly amazing. I am so so pleased that I took the advise of a good friend and went and had it done as Lindsay was lovely and so reassuring. It was great to see our little on moving about, yawning and holding their toes! As well as be told all is well and on track.. Thank you so much Lindsay! I can't recommend your services highly enough. Was an excellent experience that I will never forget.

Natalie

The most reassuring and calm experience in what could have been a highly stressful situation. Lindsay is of the highest professional level without losing compassion and understanding. I wish I could award 6 stars!

Susan

As a first time mum loaded with bags of questions and full of nerves, Well Woman and Baby Room have been my absolute life saver. I booked with Lindsay for an early scan when I was around 10 weeks to calm my panicked mind. Lindsay is such a warm person to meet, she talks through the scan and explains what's being looked at and can answer any question you have.  I was so impressed I booked a gender scan at 17 weeks and have just booked a 32 week scan. I'm so grateful I was recommended Well Woman and Baby Room, without the support I've received from here, I wouldn't feel as confident as I do during this pregnancy.

Emily

Highly recommend Lindsay. I went for reassurance scans at 13 weeks and 18 weeks due to some issue in early pregnancy. It was a very friendly but also very informative service where I was shown and talked through different things that they may not have time to discuss in your normal hospital scans. I would definitely recommend Lindsay to anyone wanting to have extra scans.

Kirsty

Can't recommend Lindsey enough, I've been to other places for scans which don't compare to the treatment at well women. My pregnancy wasn't easy yet seeing Lindsey on the few occasions I did she was so friendly, caring an patient with the endless questions I had. With other places I've been to before it's been very rushed where as with Lindsey it was very relaxed, looked at everything, told me the sex very early on an was happy to put my mind at ease with any worries I had (an there were lots) also the pictures were amazing!!  Lindsey will always be special to me an baby Imani.

Sonia

Had a gender scan at 16 weeks was truly amazing everything was explained in so much detail and I didnt feel rushed at all. Truly thank full for the experience and knowing I'm having a girl! Will defo be back for another later in the pregnancy! Highly recommend.

Sammy

I couldn't recommend Lindsay more highly. I had a scan with her at 8+2 and 10+6. She is so warm, kind and caring but also extremely competent, thorough and knowledgeable. She has (at least temporarily!) calmed all my worries and we have some lovely photos of our little one. Thank you Lindsay.

Alex

Couldn't recommend Lindsay enough, she made this one of the most memorable and moving experiences for me and my boyfriend with our first baby (which she confirmed was a girl at 17 weeks!). She didn't make us feel rushed at all and settled our brains when telling us the positives of our baby's progress, even counting the fingers and toes. Our emotions were sky high when we left and it's all thanks to her amazing service. Worth every penny. Thank-you xx.

Emily

Amazing experience on both of our pregnancies. Happily recommend to any one whos thinking of having an extra peak at baby! ♥ thank you x

Lauren

I can't thank Lindsay enough for the reassurance she provided my husband and I during our growth scan at 31 weeks. I was referred for an extra scan on the NHS but was told it could take up to 2 weeks, so booked in with Lindsay. It was the best decision I have ever made. Lindsay was fantastic from the moment my husband and I arrived. She made us feel so relaxed and spent a lot of time explaining everything to us as she went through the scan, reassuring us that all was well and baby was growing just fine. The scan was so detailed that Lindsay was able to show us that our little one has a full head of hair!

Jo

I cannot recommend Lindsay enough!! I've seen Lindsay a few times after a really difficult time to make sure things were getting back to normal and she's always been so lovely and helpful. She's always on hand to answer any questions I have and I cannot thank her enough xx

Kayleigh

My name is Kayleigh and I have worked with The Scanning Room for over 8 years, and over 20 years of experience within the NHS.

I started my career as a Healthcare Assistant (HCA) in 2004, then training as an assistant practitioner and radiographer. I Identified a passion for ultrasound in 2014 and successfully transitioned to the specialty through a secondment and training at King's College London where I achieved a PGd in Medical Ultrasound. I have extensive experience working across various NHS hospitals, honing sonography skills and building a strong foundation in this field.

I have a keen interest in women's health, actively participating in ongoing gynaecological and obstetric training to maintain comprehensive evidence- based knowledge.

I enjoy all elements of women's health sonography, from diagnosing gynecologically concerns and infertility assessments to witnessing the joy of expectant mothers during their pregnancy scans.

I love being able to contribute to our supportive team environment, and working with my friends/ Sonographers at the Scanning Room.

Daisy

I'm Daisy, I trained initially as a diagnostic radiographer in 2013 at Kingston & St George's University of London but knowing I always wanted to be a sonographer went into further study and specialized in ultrasound in 2018 at City University of London where I obtained a master's degree in medical ultrasound imaging. Currently I work both at the scanning room and in the NHS and I absolutely love my job.

I feel very passionately about giving our women and their families a very high standard of care and making sure they leave feeling reassured, empowered, and listened to. I believe that the more informed and relaxed women can be whilst undergoing gynaecological assessment, fertility treatment, when pregnant or just generally regarding their pelvic health, is only a good thing and I am proud to work at the scanning room where I know our close-knit and friendly team really do achieve this.

As a new mum myself, you'll find me spending lots of quality time with my family when I'm not scanning, as well as trying to renovate our home and trying to squeeze as much travel and fun in where we can.

Lucy

I am part of the reception team and I have been lucky enough to be a member of The Scanning Room family for 5 years now. I have two amazing grown up children, two incredibly naughty dogs, one very old and very demanding horse and I look after my friend’s small flock of 6 sheep!

After I’ve sorted all the animals out coming into the clinic is soo lovely and just what I need, the kettle is barely ever cold, the biscuit tin is, nearly!!!, always full and I get to spend a happy few hours chatting to our lovely families and laughing with, while learning from, our incredibly kind team of sonographers.

Being people centric has always been at the route of my working life. I started out as a Nanny for two gorgeous families, then after having my two, I worked as a fundraiser for a charity that provides activity centres with wheelchair accessible boats.

During an evening out with Lindsay, who is a very, very, very old friend of mine, we hatched a plan for me to join her growing Scanning Room family, and here I am 5 years in. I have learnt so very much about ‘how babies are made’ in terms of fertility, how our bodies work, how babies develop and grow within the womb and how our bodies change and evolve as we approach menopause.

Everyday is a learning day with The Scanning Room Team and everyday is full of fun, love and support.

I absolutely love my Job and I feel incredibly honoured to be a very small part of the life adventures our lovely families and individuals are experiencing.

Take care and I’m looking forward to seeing you all soon,

Ivy

Hello, my name is Ivy and I currently work for The Scanning Room and NHS as a Sonographer. After graduating with a degree in Diagnostic Radiography at the University of Exeter in 2013, I went on to complete a Post Graduate Diploma in Medical Ultrasound at City University 2018. I undertake obstetrics, gynaecology, general abdominal and MSK ultrasound scans.

I love my role as a Sonographer, especially providing reassurance to soon-to-be parents in one of the most special but sometimes worrying times of their lives. I have recently qualified in MSK ultrasound at the UWE and can now provide diagnostic scans for predominantly lumps and bumps and suspected muscle/tendon/ligament tears. In my spare time I enjoy playing tennis and running along the seafront with my husband, usually followed by coffee and cake!

After the scan...

We will create a detailed report for you with everything that we have seen and also give you pictures of your little bean.

Throughout the scan we will be talking about what your baby is doing, how it is developing and what it can do – such a lovely insight into your baby’s world.

If we sadly find that the things are not progressing as they should we discuss everything that we can see, giving you plenty of time to ask questions. We create a report and contact your local early pregnancy unit (EPU) for a follow up appointment.

What we do…

Usually performed over the tummy as transabdominal scan, for this reason having a moderately full bladder will help to see the pregnancy more clearly in the early weeks.

We will measure your little one crown to rump to get an estimated due date and assess that everything is developing normally for that number of weeks. We will also confirm that the pregnancy is in the right place within the uterus and check that the uterus and ovaries appear normal.

We also have the option of performing an internal scan if we don’t get great views over the tummy. This is entirely safe in early pregnancy and will be discussed with you as an option where needed.

So why would you have an early scan?

For most women they just want, or need to see their baby and confirm that the pregnancy is real! For others they may have sadly experienced a miscarriage and just need the peace of mind and reassurance that an early scan can bring. Time really seems to drag in the first trimester, seeing is certainly believing!

An early pregnancy scan will confirm the presence of a heartbeat, diagnose a single or multiple pregnancy and establish an estimated due date. It can be performed from 7 weeks of pregnancy, before this time it is not always possible to see the fetal heart beating but can confirm the pregnancy is in the right place and developing as it should for the number of weeks you are.

We also see women who have had bleeding and can’t be seen quickly in their local early pregnancy unit, or those that have had a loss of symptoms and are concerned – we can provide you with a service that fully assess how you are progressing and will give you all the information you need.

This early scan is not routinely available on the NHS and does not require a GP or Midwife referral.
