6 Week Pregnancy Scan
Congratulations on your pregnancy! This can be an exciting time for you, your family and your loved ones, but that doesn't mean you aren't looking for some reassurance.
Peek A Baby provides a 6 week pregnancy scan for just £49, giving you and your loved ones complete reassurance in your early pregnancy, and an opportunity to start bonding with your baby
6 Week Early Reassurance Scan
At Peek A Baby, we understand that the early stages of pregnancy can leave expectant mums seeking reassurance. We offer a 6 week pregnancy scan just for this! Our early pregnancy scan is available across all clinics from 6 to 15 weeks of pregnancy, reassuring you of a successful pregnancy.
This 6 week pregnancy scan, sometimes referred to as a dating scan, viability scan, early reassurance scan, first pregnancy scan or early pregnancy scan, is a transabdominal scan that aims to confirm your pregnancy, giving you complete reassurance. In some cases where pregnancy is difficult to detect at this early stage, a transvaginal scan may be recommended in order to clearly detect pregnancy. Where this is the case, permission is always sought by our sonographer beforehand.
The Significance of a 6 Week Pregnancy Scan
Our 6 week pregnancy scan has been designed to give parents an early opportunity to meet their baby. From 7 weeks, this scan will be able to detect your baby's heartbeat once a successful pregnancy is confirmed. Between 6 and 9 weeks, this early pregnancy scan will also be able to detect the presence of the gestational sac, yolk sac and fetal pole.
With NHS scans from 12 weeks, Peek A Baby provides parents with an early opportunity to meet their baby, before hospital scans. This can not only give reassurance, but can also provide precious moments with your baby as they begin to grow and develop.
For those who have been trying to fall pregnant via fertility treatments such as IVF, this can provide complete clarity that their pregnancy is successful and viable.

The Benefits of a 6 Week Pregnancy Scan
A 6 week pregnancy scan with Peek A Baby offers a wide range of benefits for first-time mums and those expanding their families, including:
- Pregnancy Confirmation: This is an essential step in early pregnancy in order to rulle out issues like blighted ovum or ectopic pregnancies.
- Precise Fetal Measurements & Accurate Dating: 6 week pregnancy scans can assist in establishing the exact date of your pregnancy and provide an expected due date.
- Parental Reassurance: A 6 week pregnancy scan can give many parents, first-time or not, a sense of security during their pregnancy, building a precious bond with their baby from early on.
- Identification of Multiple Pregnancies: Multiple pregnancies, such as twins or triplets, can be found during 6 week pregnancy scans. Spotting this early on can ensure that both mother and babies receive the proper care during pregnancy. With multiple pregnancies, special care ws required throughout.
- Early Detection of Abnormalities: A 6 week pregnancy scan may reveal serious abnormalities that may prompt parents to make decisions about early pregnancy treatment. Later in pregnancy, between weeks 18 and 21, an Anomaly Scan from Peek A Baby can provide more details for expectant parents on noted abnormalities.

6 Week Pregnancy Scan & Gender Reveal
At Peek A Baby, we love to give expecting parents every opportunity to learn more about their baby. From 6 weeks, you can not only seek reassurance, but you can also reveal the gender of your baby with our Early Gender Blood Test!
In addition to our 6 week pregnancy scan, our early gender blood test can be taken to determine whether it is a boy or a girl with 99.9% accuracy!
In order to establish this, we analyse fetal DNA. A blood sample for the mother is required for this. The gender of your baby is ascertained through chromosomal analysis once this has been isolated from the mother's DNA. If Y chromosomes are found, your baby is a boy; if no Y chromosome is identified, your baby is a girl!
With its 99.9% accuracy and fast results, this non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT test) allows parents to plan for their baby's arrival sooner. Not only this, but you can share the exciting news with your loved ones right from the beginning!
With Peek A Baby clinics, you can book to find out your baby's gender on its own or combine it with a 6 week pregnancy scan. When booking a combined package, your early pregnancy scan is only £25!

6 Week Pregnancy Scan FAQs
The short answer to this is yes. Peek A Baby details three options in this situation. For more information, click here.
Pregnancy scans are increasingly accurate from 6 weeks onwards. Before 6 weeks, the pregnancy may not provide a clear enough image due to being too small.
When you come for a 6 week pregnancy scan, a full bladder is required. All scans below 19 weeks will require a full bladder in our clinics.
Sadly, baby will often have a mind of its own. We recommend that you drink or eat something sugary roughly 10-20 minutes before your scan and bring a cold drink with you. We also recommend drinking plenty of water in the days before your scan for enhanced clarity on the ultrasound.
Ultrasound scans are completely safe for mothers and babies during pregnancy due to there being no radiation or surgical procedures involved. All scans should adhere to the ALARA principle (as low as reasonably possible) to ensure minimal exposure during scans.
Calculating your due date can be tricky. We have got our Eligibility Calculator on our early gender blood tests page that can help you check if you are roughly 6 weeks pregnant.
At Peek A Baby, we give you an estimate due date on your first scan with us. Alternatively, you can contact our team and seek advice on how to do this before your scan.
