🩺 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 the early stages, a transvaginal scan may be needed for clearer imaging.
• ✔ The procedure is safe, painless, and non-invasive.
