Early Confirmation Scan from 4 weeks
A miracle in the making, an early confirmation baby scan can make the difference, instantly giving peace of mind, to be able to see those first beginnings.
In viable pregnancies, trans-vaginal (internal) scans should be able to detect a gestation sac from 4-5 weeks of pregnancy. A yolk sac can clearly be seen at 5 1/2 weeks gestation.
A Trans-abdominal (external) scan may be less accurate at this early 5 week or less stage. The quality of ultrasound images produced by both trans-vaginal and trans-abdominal scans will be affected by your BMI and the position of the baby. Higher BMIs can effect the visibility of the pregnancy especially when the pregnancy is so early. If our sonographer is unable to detect your pregnancy externally and you decline an internal scan unfortunately we cannot offer you a free second visit,. if you do opt for an internal scan which also cannot detect a positive pregnancy then you can return in 7 days for a scan free of charge.
Ultrasound can usually detect a fetal heartbeat at 6-7 weeks of pregnancy, when the baby's length or crown-rump length (CRL) is 7mm or greater.
If the CRL is less than 7mm and no heartbeat is seen, this may be because the embryo is too young. You will be offered a free re-scan. Often, ladies date their pregnancies based on their last known period, however, these dates can be affected by numerous variables and as such, are not always correct. This can mean that the pregnancy is not as far along as you may think. We will be able to see the pregnancy, however we may not be able to confirm a heartbeat and will therefore ask you back for a free rescan at a time when our sonographer recommends.
If the CRL is greater than 7mm and no heartbeat is seen, sadly this means you have a loss, and a miscarriage.
Very rarely, your sonographer may be concerned that there are ultrasound signs of an ectopic pregnancy. or other abnormalities. These can be dangerous complications of pregnancy that requires hospital treatment. In this case, the sonographer will advise you what to do.
First Hello Scan from 6 weeks
The wonder of life has started and at 6 weeks your baby's development is underway. your baby's brain is first, and appears much larger than the rest of the body at this stage. Arms and legs can be seen as little nubs, cartilage is forming rapidly and the eyelids are also developing, the eyes will eventually move across the head into their correct position as your baby grows. Here at baby Wellbeing we can from 6 weeks check your baby's development and give you an estimated delivery date. sometimes its possible a trans-abdominal (external) scan can detect an early heartbeat dependant on BMI and the babies position. Your sonographer will also be able to take measurements and add these to a growth chart which is a really useful tool for re-assurance at this early stage. all the images your sonographer takes are streamed to your mobile device and are yours to keep free of charge.

Please tell reception staff if you don't wish to know the gender and your doing a gender reveal, in this case your sonographer will keep this to themselves and you will be presented with an envelope containing the result, there are many ways you can reveal the gender of your baby, please speak with reception who can show you the options. as with all our scans any images your sonographer takes will be streamed to your mobile device free of charge.
