Private Growth Scans at London Bridge
Pregnancy can involve long periods between routine NHS scans, and it is completely understandable to want additional reassurance about how your baby is developing.
Our Growth & Reassurance Scan is designed for women in the second and third trimester who would like an additional assessment of their baby’s growth and wellbeing.
The scan can assess fetal growth and estimated weight, amniotic fluid levels, your baby’s position and placental location, with time to discuss the findings with your sonographer.
Our London Bridge clinic is located at The News Building, 3 London Bridge Street, immediately beside London Bridge Station and The Shard, providing convenient access for patients living or working in central London.
Why Have a Private Growth Scan?
There are many reasons why parents choose an additional scan during the second or third trimester.
You may want reassurance between NHS appointments, have concerns about your baby’s growth, want to know your baby’s position later in pregnancy, or simply want another opportunity to see your baby and understand how the pregnancy is progressing.
Some parents also choose additional scans following a previous difficult pregnancy or because they understandably feel anxious during pregnancy.
Whatever your reason for attending, our aim is to provide a calm and unhurried assessment, with clear explanations throughout.
What Does a Growth & Reassurance Scan Check?
Your scan may include assessment of:
This is a reassurance and growth scan and does not replace routine NHS maternity care or NHS screening examinations such as the 20-week anomaly scan.
No GP referral is required to book a Growth & Reassurance Scan.
Your ultrasound will be performed by an experienced HCPC-registered diagnostic sonographer.
Images will be provided where possible, together with a written report or summary of the findings.
If anything is identified that requires further assessment, we will explain this to you and advise you about the appropriate next step, including contact with your NHS maternity team, maternity triage or specialist services where appropriate.
Growth and reassurance scans are generally performed during the second and third trimesters.
Later in pregnancy, they can be particularly useful for assessing fetal growth, estimated weight, amniotic fluid and your baby’s position.
Many parents choose to have a growth scan during the third trimester, often between approximately 28 and 36 weeks, although the most appropriate timing depends upon the reason for your scan and your individual pregnancy.
If you are unsure when to book, please contact the clinic and we can advise you.
Our Patient Review
I was understandably very worried and was able to book an appointment within just a couple of hours. From the moment we met him, Dr Mac Sweeney was kind, reassuring, professional and genuinely caring. He took the time to listen, explained everything clearly, and made us feel that my husband was in very safe hands.
What impressed me most was that his care did not stop when we left the consultation. He followed up on several occasions to check on my husband's progress, prescribed more medicine and even went out of his way to provide a letter for our insurance company, which was incredibly helpful.
In a world where good service can sometimes feel hard to find, Dr Mac Sweeney demonstrated a level of compassion and personal attention that was truly exceptional. The fee was also very reasonable, especially given the time, care and support we received.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Mac Sweeney to anyone needing medical assistance and will always be grateful for the kindness he showed to both of us. If I lived in London I would most certainly subscribe to his membership scheme so he could deal with all my family's medical needs.
The clinic has a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, with a fresh, calming scent that immediately creates a welcoming environment. Everything was explained clearly and professionally, making the whole experience completely stress-free.
I particularly appreciated the expert advice and felt comfortable throughout. I would highly recommend The Blackheath Clinic to anyone looking for a professional, patient-focused service.
As I entered the tastefully curated space, I encountered one of the rarest of things: a polite, smiling and genuinely welcoming receptionist. In fact, she was so warm and courteous that I briefly wondered whether I had wandered into an upmarket spa by mistake.
Then I met Dr Sweeney. He was charming, courteous, friendly and thoroughly professional, with the kind of bedside manner that reminds you what general practice can be at its best: attentive, humane and quietly confident. He came across as someone who takes real pride in his work and genuinely cares for his patients.
The whole experience felt like stepping back into a time when patients were warmly received and doctors truly doctored. As I was leaving, Dr Sweeney mentioned that he was off on a home visit. A GP doing a home visit in 2026? I was so astonished I nearly needed examining all over again.
Join this practice quickly before word gets out and the list fills up. This is care delivered by people who genuinely care, and that feels all too rare these days
I had lip filler and RRS Long Lasting skin boosters, and she took the time to explain everything clearly, answer all my questions, and ensure I felt confident about the treatments. Her attention to detail and gentle approach really stood out, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
Dr Micha Plugaru truly combines expertise with a warm, personal touch. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering aesthetic treatments — you’re in the safest and most caring hands.
