Prenatal screening

You can be tested to see if your unborn baby has a disorder or a physical abnormality. This is called prenatal screening.

There are two types of screening tests:
1.    Screening for Down syndrome, Edwards' syndrome and Patau’s syndrome: the NIPT

2.    Screening for physical abnormalities: the 13- week scan and the 20-week scan

It is entirely up to you to decide if you want to have these scans.
 

Fun ultrasound

A fun-ultrasound is an ultrasound without a medical reason and at your own expense. Often it is a magical moment; you can hear the heartbeat of the baby, you can see your baby move and, with a little luck, you can even see your baby yawn. We have a Fun Echo practice: Echo aan Zee. It is located at our main location Copernicusplein 14, Den Haag.
You can make an appointment by phone: 06-52632016
Echo aan Zee has a website in Dutch: www.echoaanzee.nl
