Lovely place, Nathan made me feel really comfortable during the scan, very friendly and helpful. Was amazing to see and find out what me and my husband are having for our child and would highly recommend.

Jenny Peters

Myself and my husband wanted to book a gender scan, and after seeing all the good reviews Numi Scan had we felt like it was the right one to go for. We were not disappointed with our choice, the premises is nice and clean, and Nathan was really personable.

Sally Monday

Amazing! I’ve had 5 scans at Numi scan; an early pregnancy reassurance scan, 3 well being scans, and a super star 4D baby scan. Nathan is amazing every single time, the reassurance he’s given me throughout my pregnancy has been an absolute godsend.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Numiscan FAQ's

What does a low-risk result mean?

A low risk means that there is an extremely low probability for the presence of an incorrect number of chromosomes.

What does a high-risk result mean?

A high risk means that there is a high probability for an incorrect number of chromosomes analyzed in each package.

What is fetal fraction?

Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the peripheral blood of pregnant women consists of maternal DNA and a small portion of DNA from the fetus (which is placentally derived). The percentage of DNA in the maternal blood sample that comes from the placenta is known as the fetal fraction (FF). Factors that impact FF include gestational age, multiple gestations, maternal BMI, fetal aneuploidy, maternal disease, and medication.

What is a microdeletion?

Deletion syndromes are a group of clinically recognisable disorders, characterised by a small deletion of a chromosomal segment. The size and position of the deletion determine which clinical features are manifested and how severe they are. Clinical features of microdeletions can include developmental delays and intellectual disability, growth and behavioural problems, feeding difficulties, low muscle tone, seizures, dysmorphic features, and varying malformations.

What is a trisomy

Normally, all cells in the human body have 46 chromosomes, made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes. These 23 pairs of chromosomes contain all of the DNA to determine the health of the baby. Certain genetic anomalies can occur when a baby develops three copies of a particular chromosome instead of two. The risk of having a chromosomal condition increases as the mother gets older.

Is it safe for mother and child

It involves a simple and safe blood draw from the arm of the expectant mother. Non-invasive, with no risk to the pregnancy from the blood sample.
