Ultrasound scans
Early ultrasound
Performed from gestational week 6+0 - 13+6
Vi tilbyder scanninger fra Graviditetsuge 6+0. På dette tidspunkt kan man ofte se et foster og hjerteblink, men der kan være naturlige variationer.
Hvis graviditeten viser sig at være tidligere end forventet, kan vi som regel stadig se, at graviditeten ligger korrekt i livmoderen og at alt ser normalt ud for det stadie. I de tilfælde betragtes scanningen som udført. Du er altid velkommen til at booke en ny tid når du er længere henne. I sådanne tilfælde anbefaler vi, at du kontaker egen læge for en blodprøve (HCG) som kan bekræfte, at graviditeten udvikler sig normalt.
Kun, hvis der ikke ses hjerteblink fra graviditetsuge 6+0, eller hvis scanninger viser noget afvigende eller uafklaret, tilbyder vi naturligvis en opfølgende scanning uden beregning.
Gender scan
Performed from week 14+0
It is not possible to see the gender earlier.
From week 14+0 onwards, we guarantee being able to reveal your baby´s gender.
If there are circumstances that make it difficult for us to say with certainty the gender of your baby, you will be offered a new appointment free of charge.
It could be the possition of the umbilical cord between the legs of the baby, the position of the baby or a slight immaturity of the gender itself that makes it difficult to determine the gender of the fetus.
We listen to the heartbeat, see the baby move, measure and assess its well-being and the amount of amniotic fluid.
Growth Scan
Performed from week 14+0 - 40+0
In this type of ultrasound , we focus on the baby's weight and any deviations. We measure the fetal heart beat (BPM) and assess the amount of amniotic fluid.
Ved behov suppleres med flowmålinger, som giver os informationer om barnets tilbud og optag af ilt og næring. Alt sammen for at se om barnet trives og vokser som det skal.
Tilvækstscanning med mulighed for 3d/4d scanning
Udføres fra uge 27+0 – 32+0
Tilvækstscanningen suppleres med 3d/4d billeder hvis barnet og scanningens øvrige omstændigheder tillader det.
Ved tilvækstscanning er hovedformålet at fokusere på barnets vægt og eventuelle afvigelser. Vi måler hjerteaktionen og vurderer fostervandsmængden.
Ved behov suppleres med flowmålinger, som giver os informationer om barnets tilbud og optag af ilt og næring. Alt sammen for at se om barnet trives og vokser som det skal.
3d/4d ultrasound
Udføres fra uge 27+0 – 32+0
Denne type scanning kan foretages i hele graviditeten, dog opnås det bedste resultat mellem graviditetsuge 27+0 til og med 32+0, hvor barnets alder og mængden af fostervand giver de mest optimale betingelser for billedkvaliteten.
This is where the portrait really stands out as we can scan all the way around the fetus. You might see a feature you recognize from the father or mother?
4D is a short film clip of between 5-10 seconds where you can see the fetus' movements and facial expressions. You may also be lucky enough to see the baby drinking amniotic fluid or opening its eyes.
If there are conditions that make it difficult to perform the scan, you will be offered a new appointment free of charge up to 32+0 weeks of pregnancy.
However, the perfect photos also depend on factors that we can't always change and it is to be expected that the quality of the photos will vary between pregnant women.
Note: Members of "Denmark" can get a 300 kr subsidy when booking ultrasound of 40 min duration
Anomaly scan
Performed from week 19+0 - 22+0
Gravidklinikken follows the obstetric recommendations for Anomaly scan from the Danish Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
During the anomaly scan, we guide you through the fetal anatomy and check all organs thoroughly for anomalies,
including: Brain, heart, face, abdominal wall, gastrointestinal system, kidneys, bladder, arms, legs and spine.
We assess the amount of amniotic fluid and measure the circumference of the head, abdomen and femur to see if the baby is growing properly.
Anomaly scan also includes a midwife consultation
NIPT - Non-Invasive Prenatal Test
Geneplanet Basic
– NIPT
Uføres fra graviditetsuge 10+0 – 20+0
GenePlanet Basic er en simpel, men sikker og meget nøjagtig (99,9%) NIPT (non-invasiv prænatal test) test. Denne test screener for de samme 3 føtale kromosomafvigelser som ved 1. trimesterscanningen på de nationale sygehuse, men med højere følsomhed og færre falsk positive svar:
- Trisomi 21 (Downs syndrom)
- Trisomi 18 (Edwards syndrom)
- Trisomi 13 (Pataus syndrom)
Det er endvidere muligt at få kønnet oplyst og testen er også egnet til tvillingegraviditeter.
Testen foregår som en blodprøve på den gravide i Gravidklinikken – prøven er derfor helt sikker og uden nogen risiko for barnet. I tilfælde af abnormt svar anbefales videre genetisk undersøgelse via det offentlige.
Prøven har en svartid på 7-10 hverdage og svaret videregives direkte til dig/jer efter aftale med Gravidklinikken.

EVITA COMPLETE - NIPT
Carried from 10+0 - 14+6 weeks gestation
EVITA tests take advantage of the presence of small amounts of whole fetal cells in the pregnant woman's blood.
The test consists solely of a blood sample taken from the pregnant woman at 10+0 - 14+6 weeks of pregnancy and is therefore completely safe for the fetus.
The test is the only one that checks for abnormalities at all 23 pairs of chromosomes.
The blood sample is analyzed using a special technology and assessed by a genetics specialist.
The test has been developed in Denmark over almost 2 decades and the analysis of the sample is carried out by the Department of Clinical Genetics in Aarhus.
The test is a very in-depth screening, similar to CVS and amniocentesis, as it is the only one on the market that analyzes whole fetal cells (unlike NIPT, which is a cell-free test). However, the test is not diagnostic like a CVS and amniocentesis is, but a screening test. This means that an affected blood test result will be referred for further genetic testing at the hospital.
The test is not dependent on the BMI of the pregnant woman and can be used by all pregnant women carrying one baby.
Response time is within 12 working days from the test being taken.

- Nausea/vomiting
- Pelvic and back pain
- Fluid in the body
- Sciatica pain
- Swelling or "numbing" hands and feet
- Pain
- Headache

Acupuncture for birth ripening
(incl. membrane sweep)
Offered from week 37+0 (but from week 40+0 if you choose membrane sweep)
Maturation/natural induction acupuncture:
Acupuncture can help your body prepare for labor and reduce the likelihood of you going past your due date. In addition, studies have shown that maturation acupuncture can shorten the duration of labor by several hours.
membrane sweep:
A membrane sweep is performed by inserting a finger up the cervical canal and into the uterus, where the amniotic membranes are loosened from the uterine wall with a rotating motion. This releases a hormone that promotes tissue growth.
The more prepared your body is for childbirth, the better a membrane sweep works, and therefore the effect will also vary greatly depending on how mature the conditions are.
The treatment can be repeated if necessary.
Acupuncture for fertility
Acupuncture has been shown in several studies to increase the chance of pregnancy, whether you are trying to conceive spontaneously or are undergoing fertility treatment.
In Chinese medicine, the starting point is the individual's imbalances and therefore the treatment is targeted at you or your partner after an initial conversation where a diagnosis is made. It is therefore irrelevant whether you know the reason why the pregnancy is not occurring.
The treatment can be targeted to the woman, the man or both partners.
Midwife consultation
Midwife consultation
- Pregnant women
Offered throughout pregnancy
Do you need continuity and would like to see the same midwife throughout your pregnancy? Do you want a midwife who has time to listen and takes the time to answer all your questions? - then you should choose a private midwife.
Conversation:
We start from your needs and questions and discuss expectations, sexuality during pregnancy, physical activity, diet, pregnancy discomforts, breastfeeding, thoughts about birth, pain relief, etc.
Assessment of the child's position and weight
How does the baby turn? What is its approximate size? Is it growing as it should and is the baby's head firmly attached to the pelvis? Do you need to lie down if you have water breaks? All these questions will be addressed during the consultation.
Measuring whether the uterus is growing:
With the so-called 'symphysis-fundus' measurement, your uterus is measured from the top of the pubic bone to the top of the uterus and plotted on a chart to see if your baby is growing properly.
Listening to baby's heartbeat:
If your husband is participating, or if there are older siblings, together we can palpate your belly and listen to the heartbeat of the baby with a wooden stethoscope or doptone.
Examination of blood pressure and urine:
You will be checked to see if you are at risk of developing pre-eclampsia or pregnancy-induced diabetes.
Midwife consultation
- Getting ready for birth
Do you feel ready for your upcoming birth? Do you have any questions, thoughts or concerns? Are you scared, nervous or are there just some areas you need clarification in relation to the birth. It may be a previous pregnancy/birth where you need to put some things in order.
It may be that it is the first time you are giving birth and need to find peace in what is coming. Regardless, you have the opportunity to come to a conversation where there is peace and time to help you and take your situation as a starting point.
The consultation can be combined with acupuncture treatment, which can be soothing for anxiety, worry, uneasiness, racing thoughts or difficulty sleeping.
Midwife consultation
- Postnatal consultation
Do you have questions, thoughts or concerns after your birth? Are you feeling overwhelmed by the process you have been through and need to put some things in order? Can't let go of the process completely and don't really feel that you can
move on?
At a postnatal consultation, we will talk through your progress and discuss any experiences that you need clarification on.
You may want to bring your journal from the last birth with you, so we can go through what happened together, to perhaps give better clarity on what happened and when.
The conversation can be combined with acupuncture treatment, which can be calming for anxiety, worry, restlessness, mindlessness or sleep problems.
