What is a Presentation Scan 35 Weeks to Full Term?
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves — no radiation and no injections — to produce real-time images of soft tissues and organs.
Ultrasound is safe, painless, and radiation-free — making it a first-line investigation for many conditions of the pregnancy.
Is this scan right for you?
Common reasons for having this scan include:
- Uncertainty about fetal presentation
- Suspected breech presentation
- Midwife unable to confirm position by palpation
What a Presentation Scan 35 Weeks to Full Term can find
Ultrasound can identify:
- Cephalic (head down) presentation
- Breech presentation
- Transverse or oblique lie
- Fetal heartbeat
What it cannot do
This is a private reassurance scan and does not replace any component of your NHS antenatal care, including the dating scan, Down's syndrome screening or the 20-week fetal anomaly scan. Not all fetal abnormalities are detectable by ultrasound at any gestation. Image quality is dependent on fetal position, gestational age and maternal body habitus. Please remain under the care of your NHS midwife or obstetric team throughout your pregnancy. Any significant or unexpected findings will be communicated clearly at the time of your appointment, with guidance on appropriate next steps.
What happens on the day

- 3The sonographer talks you through what is on the screen as they go.
- 4The scan takes about 20 minutes.
- 5Your sonographer's written report is delivered securely to your patient account after the scan.
Which pregnancy scan is right for you?
Early pregnancy scan from 6 to 15 weeks for reassurance, dating and a heartbeat. Gender and well-being scan from 16 to 32 weeks. Growth scan from 24 weeks to full term. 4D/5D scan from 24 to 32 weeks for lifelike images of the face. Presentation scan from 35 weeks to check which way the baby is lying.

Frequently asked questions
What is a presentation scan for?
To see which way the baby is lying from 35 weeks: head down, breech or transverse, when it matters for planning the birth.

Does this replace my NHS scans?
No. This is a private reassurance scan. It does not replace any part of your NHS antenatal care, including the dating scan, screening tests or the 20-week anomaly scan.
How long does the scan take?
About 20 minutes.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book directly, and every scan is reported by a consultant radiologist or a clinical specialist sonographer. You can share the report with your GP afterwards.
