Early Pregnancy Ultrasound Scan

Early Pregnancy/Viability Ultrasound (6-11 weeks) Price: £110

Are you curious about your pregnancy progress, experiencing pain, bleeding, or have a complicated obstetric history?
Our sonographer-led ultrasound service offers thorough assessments to address your concerns.

Here’s what we can do for you:

  • Determine single or multiple pregnancies
  • Exclude ectopic pregnancy

  • Estimate pregnancy dates
  • Investigate causes of pain or bleeding, including miscarriage or ovarian cyst

Early Pregnancy Ultrasound Options:

For pregnancies under 9 weeks, a transvaginal examination is recommended in line with NICE guidelines, offering superior detail during early pregnancy. Transabdominal examinations are also available; however, the quality may vary based on the gestational age of the pregnancy.

Expert Guidance and Comprehensive Reporting:

Our experienced sonographers will guide you through these options, ensuring your comfort and understanding throughout the process. Following the examination, you’ll receive a comprehensive written report accompanied by corresponding ultrasound images, providing you with valuable insights into your pregnancy.

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.
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.
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.
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).
