Private Early Pregnancy Scan: 6–11 Weeks

An Early Pregnancy Scan, also known as a Viability or Dating Scan, is a vital ultrasound performed between 6 and 11 weeks of pregnancy. This scan provides reassurance by confirming the pregnancy’s health and progress.

🩺 What Does the Early Pregnancy Scan Assess?

  • ✅ Confirmation of Pregnancy: Ensures the presence of a gestational sac inside the uterus.
  • ✅ Gestational Age & Due Date: Measures the embryo to accurately estimate how far along you are and predict your due date.
  • ✅ Detection of Heartbeat: Identifies the baby’s heartbeat, typically visible from around 6 weeks onward.
  • ✅ Number of Babies: Determines whether you are expecting one baby, twins, or more.
  • ✅ Pregnancy Location: Confirms the pregnancy is in the uterus and rules out an ectopic pregnancy.
  • ✅ Assessment of Uterus & Ovaries: Checks for any fibroids, cysts, or abnormalities that could affect pregnancy.
  • ✅ Bleeding or Pain Investigation: Helps identify potential causes of spotting, cramping, or discomfort.

📅 When Can You Have an Early Pregnancy Scan?

You can have this scan anytime between 6 and 11 weeks of pregnancy. However, for more accurate results, we recommend waiting until at least 7 weeks, when the heartbeat is more reliably detected.


🔍 How is the Scan Performed?

  • ✔ The scan is usually transabdominal (over the tummy),
  • ✔ In early stages, a transvaginal scan may be needed for clearer imaging.
  • ✔ The procedure is safe, painless, and non-invasive.

Early Pregnancy Ultrasound Scan: What to Expect

An early pregnancy ultrasound scan, often called a viability scan or dating scan, is a crucial step in confirming a healthy and developing pregnancy. If you’re in the early weeks and want reassurance or need to establish how far along you are, this scan provides accurate answers with real-time images of your baby.

What Is an Early Pregnancy Scan?

Typically performed between 6 to 10 weeks of pregnancy, an early scan checks for the baby’s heartbeat, gestational sac, yolk sac, and fetal pole. It can confirm whether the pregnancy is progressing normally and determine if it’s single or multiple (e.g., twins).

Why Might You Need an Early Pregnancy Scan?

  • To confirm pregnancy and estimated due date
  • If you’re experiencing pain or spotting
  • History of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy
  • Reassurance for peace of mind
  • To confirm single or multiple pregnancies

What Happens During the Scan?

The sonographer applies a small amount of gel to your abdomen and uses a handheld probe to capture images of your uterus and developing baby. In very early weeks, a transvaginal scan may be needed for clearer images. The procedure is safe, painless, and takes around 10–15 minutes.

What Can the Scan Detect?

  • Presence and location of pregnancy (intrauterine vs ectopic)
  • Heartbeat detection
  • Gestational age of the baby
  • Number of babies
  • Yolk sac and fetal development

When Should You Book an Early Pregnancy Scan?

You can book an early scan from 6 weeks of pregnancy. Many private clinics offer appointments without a GP referral, often with same-day availability. It’s recommended to wait until at least 6 weeks for the most accurate results and visibility of the fetal heartbeat.

Early Pregnancy Scan FAQs

Q: Is an early pregnancy scan safe?

Q: Can I hear my baby’s heartbeat during this scan?
A: Most early scans detect a heartbeat by 6–7 weeks, but this can vary depending on your cycle and conception timing.
Q: Do I need a full bladder?
A: Yes, for transabdominal scans, a full bladder helps provide clearer images.
