What is the most common finding of an Early Pregnancy Ultrasound scan?

The most common finding (over 70%) is a normally developing pregnancy. Sadly, however, about 20-25% of early pregnancies lead to miscarriage, and it would not be possible to identify the reason why it has happened by performing Ultrasound alone. On a very rare occasion, an abnormally located pregnancy, called ectopic pregnancy, or an abnormally developing pregnancy, called molar pregnancy may be identified, in which case you will be urgently referred to an Early Pregnancy and Acute Gynaecology Unit at one of the nearby NHS Hospitals.

What happens during the Early Pregnancy Ultrasound scan?

The Ultrasound Specialist will explain the procedure before your scan. You will be provided with a gown to respect your modesty in the likelihood of an internal scan. It will then involve insertion of the tip of the transvaginal probe, covered with a latex-free probe cover with a small amount of sterile gel into the vaginal canal. Our specialist will have to slightly move the probe to assess the relevant anatomy and to produce high quality diagnostic ultrasound images. You might feel mild discomfort during your ultrasound scan, however you can stop or pause the examination at any moment. Early Pregnancy Ultrasound Scan is regularly completed within 5-10 minutes. Our Sonographer will recommend the best course of action depending on the ultrasound scan findings.

When will I get the results?

Our experienced sonographer will discuss the ultrasound findings with you following the examination. A digital copy of the report, complete with relevant images will be emailed directly to you on the same day as your appointment.

What are the risks of an Early Pregnancy Ultrasound scan?

Ultrasound scan itself does not harm the pregnancy. Yours and your baby’s safety is one of our top priorities, therefore we strictly adhere to BMUS guidelines for the safe use of Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment and scanning times, as well as respect ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
