An early pregnancy scan is one of the most important and reassuring steps in early pregnancy. It confirms that your pregnancy is developing in the right place, shows the fetal heartbeat, and gives you an accurate estimated due date.
Also known as a dating scan or viability scan, this ultrasound is typically performed between 6 and 10 weeks of pregnancy. It not only confirms a viable intrauterine pregnancy but also allows us to detect multiple pregnancies (twins or more) and identify early pregnancy complications such as miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.
