Early pregnancy scan
£100 FOR A 20 MIN APPOINTMENT
why have an early pregnancy scan?
An early pregnancy scan, suitable from 6 – 12 weeks, confirms a single or multiple pregnancy, helps to date the pregnancy to give an accurate due date and reassures parents that all is well with baby. It also helps to make that miracle inside more of a reality.
Scan logistics
An early pregnancy scan may involve transvaginal / internal scanning, and includes:
A 20 minute appointment
Fetal heartbeat*
Growth checks (no. of weeks and days in age)
Black and white 2D ultrasound images to take home
Pre-appointment prep
Wear clothes that will allow easy access to your abdomen i.e. trousers or skirt and top
Drink ½ ltr (1 pint) of water approx 1 hour before your appointment time
Please do not empty your bladder before the examination – a full bladder helps to enhance the image quality
*Please note that the heartbeat is usually, but not always, detectable until 8 weeks
