Early Pregnancy Baby Scans
Early pregnancy baby scans, offered between 6 to 15 weeks of gestation, are crucial medical procedures that provide a wealth of information to expectant parents and healthcare providers. These scans, also known as early viability scans or dating scans, are typically performed using transabdominal ultrasound. If we are unable to detect any signs of pregnancy during the transabdominal ultrasound, we may ask to perform a transvaginal ultrasound to try and help in detection. Here, we delve into the significance, procedure, and benefits of these early pregnancy scans.
Significance of Early Pregnancy Scans
Early pregnancy scans are primarily conducted to confirm the pregnancy and its viability. Around 6 to 9 weeks, the scan can detect the presence of a gestational sac, yolk sac, and a fetal pole. By around 6 to 7 weeks, it is often possible to see and measure the fetal heartbeat, which is a critical indicator of the pregnancy's viability. This early detection is essential for reassuring parents and planning appropriate prenatal care.
Additionally, these scans help in determining the exact gestational age of the fetus. Accurate dating is particularly important because it helps in estimating the due date, which is crucial for monitoring the pregnancy's progress and making informed decisions throughout the prenatal period.
Early Pregnancy Scan Questions Answered
Early Pregnancy Reassurance Scans are performed as transabdominal ultrasound scans. It is only if we are unable to detect signs of pregnancy at this stage that we will ask about performing a transvaginal scan.
We will always ask about this beforehand to ensure you are comfortable with this form of ultrasound scan.

Benefits of Early Pregnancy Reassurance Scans
There are a number of benefits to booking an early pregnancy reassurance scan with your local Peek A Baby clinic, including:
Confirmation of Pregnancy:
The primary benefit of early scans is to confirm the presence of an intrauterine pregnancy. This confirmation is crucial to rule out ectopic pregnancies, where the embryo implants outside the uterus, a potentially life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention. It can also rule out blighted ovum.
Viability and Heartbeat Detection:
Detecting the fetal heartbeat is a major milestone. A heartbeat detected by around 6 to 7 weeks significantly reassures that the pregnancy is viable.
Accurate Dating:
Early pregnancy scans provide precise measurements of the fetus, allowing for accurate dating of the pregnancy. This is important for planning subsequent care and interventions.
Identification of Multiple Pregnancies:
Early pregnancy scans can identify multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets, etc.), which require specialised monitoring and care.
Early Detection of Abnormalities:
Though detailed anomaly scans are performed later in the pregnancy, early scans can sometimes detect significant abnormalities or issues, allowing for early decision-making and management.
Parental Reassurance:
For many parents, early scans provide emotional reassurance and a sense of connection with their developing baby. Seeing the first images and hearing the heartbeat can be a profoundly moving experience.
