Ultralydklinikken for Gravide
Denmark’s leading private clinic for ultrasound scanning and genetic screening – since 2000
Same high standard as in the country’s leading hospitals
We not only aim to provide you with amazing pictures of your little one, but also to make sure you are treated with equal levels of professionalism, care and attention for you and your family to have unforgettable experience.
This is one of the reasons we require that all our staff either work, or have recently worked, at a fetal clinic in a hospital. This way, they are up to date on the most resent medical developments, which will serve as the base from which they meet you when you visit our clinic. The top-level medical knowledge available to you is comparable to what you will find at some of the country’s leading hospitals – at no extra cost.
We are here for you on your fertility and pregnancy journey
Ultralydklinikken for Gravide is Denmark’s first private ultrasound clinic exclusively for pregnant women. Our goal, when we first opened the clinic in 2000, was to create a place where both professionalism and compassion were second to none – and that is still what we work for today.
Scans and genetic screening tests of the highest quality: For little ones and parents-to-be
We offer a wide range of different ultrasound scans of your little one, as well as genetic screening tests for baby and parents alike, all at the very highest level.
Reassurance and gentle support throughout your pregnancy
Apart from our wonderful staff, our clinic is designed with softness and consideration to make you feel at ease when you come to us – being pregnant (or wanting to be) you couldn’t deserve it more!
We look forward to welcoming you no matter where you are on your fertility or pregnancy journey.
Meet our highly-skilled staff
In addition to offering their skills and professionalism at our clinic, all our employees either work, or used to work for an extended period of time, in a hospital.
In other words, you can rest assured that we are all up to date on the latest methods, research, and knowledge within our field of fetal medicine.
However, professionalism and skills are not everything – especially not when it comes to the most precious part of life: Babies. We therefore strive, not only to give you a highly professional experience, but also to make sure you feel deeply cared for, that all your questions are answered, and that any potential worries are met with calm and compassion.

Did you know?
It takes time to perform a 3D/4D scan, during which your baby’s development is properly assessed. Does it compare to what is considered ‘normal’, or do we see any abnormalities? To make sure we have enough time to assess every detail, the 3D/4D scan at our clinic takes 45 minutes.
For us to perform a professional and thorough scan, we must know exactly what a fetus is supposed to look like and be able to do at every stage of pregnancy. Just like when the baby is born and you look for certain developmental milestones, we also look for milestone inside the womb.
To correctly recognize and assess these milestones requires a great deal of training and experience alike, and we are proud to offer both at our clinic. We can’t wait to meet you (and your little one).
