CHRISTMAS VOUCHERS

Now that the Christmas season buzz has truly begun, you might be struggling to think of a unique, meaningful gift for family and friends who are expecting. Why not give them the gift of an ultrasound experience? 

We have already had several enquiries about vouchers for a range of different purposes: some with partners in mind who haven’t been able to attend hospital scans, and even some from friends living abroad who want to send their loved ones a thoughtful surprise in the post! 

All of our clinics have vouchers ready and waiting for the Christmas rush, but with drop-ins a thing of the past due to Covid, how do you go about getting one? 

How to Purchase A Voucher

Email us at info@theultrasoundsuite.ie with “Voucher” in the subject line, or call us at any of our clinics and let us know the following: 

• What type of scan/voucher value you would like to pay for. (If you’re not sure what scan to go for, no worries, we are happy to advise! Let us know how far along the lucky mum is in her pregnancy and we’ll take it from there.) 
• If you’d like to specify a date to book (for a birthday or anniversary) let us know and we can create a booking. (Please note, you don’t have to have a date in mind for the scan – the voucher will be valid for a year.) 
• The name of the person you are gifting it to and any personal message you would like added. 
• The address you would like it delivered to. 

If you are calling to arrange a voucher, you will be asked to pay over the phone. If you are purchasing via email, we will send you a secure online payment link to complete the purchase. 

Once the voucher has been paid for, we will post it out for you. 

See our quick guide below to give you some ideas!

What Are The Most Popular Vouchers?

3D & 4D Fetal Wellbeing Scan (16-34 weeks, best at 28weeks) €185

Couples get the unique opportunity to see their baby in 3D and 4D and will go home with high quality pictures and videos to cherish forever. A wonderful opportunity to bond with the baby during pregnancy. This scan has proven to be quite popular and meaningful for mums with partners who haven’t been able to attend any hospital scans up to this point. 

Time is taken to capture 3D images and 4D video clips (the fourth dimension is the moving part). We perform all 3D/4D scans using the latest GE Healthcare equipment. There will be a full fetal wellbeing check performed to make sure the baby is doing well – this will include hearing the heartbeat! 

The 3D/4D pregnancy scan can be performed from 16-34 weeks. We highly recommend booking for when mum is between 28-34 weeks pregnant as the pictures are usually the best at this stage. 

*Please note: unfortunately, we cannot provide this scan for a twin pregnancy.*
