IN DETAIL
Private Early Pregnancy Scan: 6–11 Weeks
An early pregnancy scan, also known as a viability 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 the early stages, a transvaginal scan may be needed for clearer imaging.
- The procedure is safe, painless, and non-invasive.

Have your dates and any previous scan information to hand. Let the sonographer know about symptoms or concerns.
Understand the scan
A scan over your tummy is usually used. An internal (transvaginal) scan may be suggested if a clearer view is needed. It should be explained and only performed with your consent.
Talk about the next steps
Ask what the findings mean, what remains uncertain and whether you need follow-up care. Further assessment may be needed when it is too early to reach a conclusion.

Speak to the team before booking.
When can I have an early pregnancy scan?
This scan is for anytime between 6–11 weeks of your pregnancy. If you are unsure of your dates, you can use our pregnancy calculator or contact our clinic to discuss when to attend.
Will I definitely see a heartbeat?
No. What is visible depends on how far the pregnancy has developed and the scan findings. Not seeing a heartbeat on a very early scan does not, by itself, establish the outcome. Your clinician may recommend a repeat scan or other assessment.
Will I need an internal scan?
Sometimes an internal, or transvaginal, scan gives a clearer view in early pregnancy. The sonographer should explain why it is suggested and ask for your consent. You can discuss your preferences before proceeding.
Does this replace my NHS scans?
No. Keep your routine NHS maternity appointments and screening scans. An early private scan is an additional assessment and cannot guarantee how a pregnancy will progress.

Preparation, made clear.
- Drink 1 litre of still water (2 pints) one hour before your appointment time.
- Please do not use the toilet — arriving with a full bladder gives a much clearer view in early pregnancy.
- Take your usual medication as normal, unless your doctor has told you otherwise.
