Maternal-Fetal Imaging

Specialist Pregnancy Scans in Nairobi

A detailed scan gives you a clear look at how your baby is growing and developing. When a routine scan raises a question, or your pregnancy needs closer care, a specialist scan gives you answers and a plan.

Dr Bob Achila completed the Expert curriculum in Imaging in Maternal-Fetal Medicine at Fetal Medicine Barcelona. The qualification is registered with the KMPDC.

Scans we offer

  • 11–13 week scan (nuchal translucency scan): an early check of your baby’s development and screening for chromosomal conditions
  • Detailed anomaly scan (around 18 to 22 weeks): a careful check of your baby’s organs and structure
  • Fetal heart scan (fetal echocardiography): a detailed look at the baby’s heart
  • Fetal brain scan (neurosonography): when a routine scan raises a question about the brain
  • Growth and Doppler scans: checking the baby’s growth and blood flow in higher-risk pregnancies
  • Placental assessment: for a low-lying placenta, or after a previous caesarean section
  • Second-opinion scans: when another scan has raised a concern

When a specialist scan helps

  • A concern on a routine scan
  • A previous pregnancy affected by a baby’s condition, or a family history
  • Diabetes, high blood pressure or other medical conditions in pregnancy
  • Twins, or a baby who seems small or large
  • A previous caesarean section with a low-lying placenta
