At Baby Scanning, we know that the early weeks of pregnancy can be filled with excitement, anticipation, and sometimes a little anxiety.

Whether you’re looking for peace of mind, confirmation of your pregnancy, or a first glimpse of your little one, our advanced ultrasound technology ensures you receive the most accurate and comforting experience possible.
What is an Early Pregnancy Scan?
An early pregnancy scan, sometimes called a viability or dating scan, is an ultrasound performed in the first trimester, typically between 6 and 14 weeks of pregnancy. This scan helps confirm a pregnancy, detect a fetal heartbeat, and estimate the due date based on your baby’s size. It is particularly beneficial for parents who may be experiencing early pregnancy symptoms, have had previous complications, or simply want reassurance that everything is progressing as it should.
At Baby Scanning, our expert sonographers use high-resolution ultrasound imaging to provide clear and detailed visuals of your baby’s early development. The procedure is safe, non-invasive, and conducted in a private, relaxing environment to ensure you feel comfortable throughout the session.
Why Have an Early Pregnancy Scan?
Many parents choose to have an early pregnancy scan for several reasons, including:
Pregnancy Confirmation – If you’ve had a positive home pregnancy test, an ultrasound can confirm that the pregnancy is developing inside the uterus.
Detection of a Heartbeat – A baby’s heartbeat can typically be detected from around 6 weeks, providing reassurance that the pregnancy is progressing well.
Estimated Due Date – If you’re unsure about your last menstrual period, an early scan can help determine your estimated due date based on the baby’s measurements.
Multiple Pregnancy Check – The scan can identify if you are expecting twins or multiples.
Ectopic Pregnancy Screening – An early scan helps ensure the pregnancy is developing in the correct location within the uterus.
Peace of Mind – Many parents book this scan simply to feel reassured during the early stages of pregnancy, especially if they have had a previous miscarriage or complications.
