Scan Information
Our Early Reassurance Scan has been curated to provide you with the peace of mind and reassurance in those really early stages of pregnancy. During the scan we hope to show you pulsations from your baby’s heart and confirm your pregnancy. Please ensure you have had a positive pregnancy test prior to your scan.
As we allow a full 20 minutes appointment this provides you with opportunity to ask any questions you may have and allows us to support you and provide you with the most accurate advice during the scan.
We recommend that you attend all scans with a relatively full bladder as this helps give us the best view of your baby. In the early stages of pregnancy it may be difficult to confirm the pregnancy via an trans-abdominal scan, if this is the case we may recommend a trans-vaginal scan which aims to provide a clearer image. Please note: we recommend waiting until 6 weeks gestation before having an Early Reassurance Scan as it may be difficult to confirm the pregnancy before this. If your pregnancy is found to be earlier than 6 weeks, and we cannot confirm viability you will not be offered a complimentary re-scan.
A qualified Sonographer will complete your scan. Our Sonographers are fully qualified and registered medical professionals with lots of ultrasound experience. Our Sonographers follow the British Medical Ultrasound Society protocols and guidance.
If, at any stage, we notice anything unusual during your scan we will explain our findings based on the visual observation at that time. We will advise you on what to do next and refer you to you midwife, GP or early pregnancy unit, we have the contact information and details to provide to you in the clinic.
