What Is Involved?
Early pregnancy scans will:
- confirm the presence of the baby’s heartbeat
- calculate the gestational age
- look for multiples (twins, triplets etc)
- site the pregnancy
- to confirm the pregnancy is in the uterus
42″ Ultrasound Scan Screen
The ultrasound is available for you to view on a 42” screen which is located on the wall at the end of the ultrasound couch. This allows you to view the images produced by the transducer. At this stage in pregnancy it may not be easy for you to make out what you are seeing on screen but the sonographer will explain what you are looking at.
As this is a medical examination, under no circumstances are children permitted to any ultrasound scan appointments. We apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your co-operation.
Why
Book An Early Pregnancy Scan
The first trimester scan is usually undertaken between six and twelve weeks of gestational age. It’s better to leave this scan until after seven weeks if it all possible, as we’ll get the most accurate information from it. The reasons we undertake this scan are to determine if the baby’s heartbeat is present, how many babies are present in the uterus, and to give you an accurate estimated date of delivery. It’s also a very important time to do the scan if there’s any concern that the pregnancy might be located in one of the fallopian tubes, also called an ectopic pregnancy. So a scan at this gestational age will determine where the pregnancy is situated.
