Early pregnancy scan, also referred to as viability or dating scan, is performed from 6 – 10 weeks of pregnancy. It will confirm the pregnancy, viability and establish an estimated due date. This scan is available to all pregnant women, and particularly recommended if there has been pain, bleeding or history of complications in previous pregnancies.

It is not normally available on the NHS, which is an added reason why our team at the Clinic strives to offer the best care and reassurance to our patients during this initial stage of their pregnancy.

• The scan will measure the size of a gestational sac or an embryo, confirming the number of weeks of pregnancy and an estimated due date.
• It will check for the correct intra-uterine position of the pregnancy, in order to exclude ectopic pregnancy
• It will check for fetal heartbeat at this stage, in order to assess the viability of the pregnancy

The scan is usually performed trans-abdominally with the probe gently gliding over abdomen or trans-vaginally, by internal probe, depending on visibility and the stage of pregnancy.

Both methods are entirely free of pain or discomfort, but please do let us know if you have any concerns or questions with regards to either method or if you might be allergic to latex.

• Full medical report and images are included in this scan.
• Our medical team will also be able to discuss any concerns you might have and provide guidance and advice.
• Should you need to see an Obstetrician, we can help you organise a full consultation with our expert in the early fetal development

A full bladder will improve the visibility of the pregnancy by trans-abdominal scan so we recommend drinking up to 4 cups of water one hour before your appointment time.
