Presentation Scan
A presentation scan assesses your baby's position later in pregnancy. Helps determine whether baby is head-down, breech or sideways.
Your Presentation Scan
Presentation scans can be carried out from 36 weeks. Determining the position of your baby can be very helpful when planning the delivery.
