An early pregnancy scan, also known as an early viability scan, is a medical procedure that allows healthcare professionals to assess the development and well-being of a fetus during the early stages of pregnancy.
Typically performed between 6 to 11 weeks gestation, this non-invasive ultrasound scan utilizes advanced technology to provide detailed images of the uterus and the embryo.
The scan helps determine important factors such as the presence of a heartbeat, accurate dating of the pregnancy, identification of multiple pregnancies, and assessment of any potential abnormalities or complications.
Additionally, it offers reassurance to expectant parents by confirming the successful implantation of the embryo and providing an early glimpse into their growing baby's progress.
