When it comes to early pregnancy or early dating ultrasound scans, accessibility can be limited within the NHS. These scans provide very valuable insights into your pregnancy, allowing for the monitoring, anticipation, and potential prevention of future complications.
Private early pregnancy scans are nowadays affordable and provide some much-needed reassurance and information early on.
Understanding Early Pregnancy Scans
The Early Pregnancy Scan is a private ultrasound examination during pregnancy. It not only confirms your pregnancy but also ensures that your baby is developing as expected. For additional reassurance during your pregnancy, visit a nearby clinic in Ashford.
The Advantages of Early Pregnancy Ultrasound
There are several compelling reasons to consider an early pregnancy ultrasound:
- Pregnancy Confirmation – Receive a pregnancy confirmation, including EDT (estimated due date).
- Excluding Ectopic – Determine whether your pregnancy is located in the right place or if it is an ectopic pregnancy.
- Confirming single or multiple pregnancy – Find out if you are expecting a single baby, twins, or even triplets.
- Heartbeat – Most importantly, confirm the presence of your baby’s regular heartbeat, which depends on the stage of your pregnancy. (if visible in very early stages of pregnancy)
- Estimated Due Date – Your sonographer can estimate the due date, based on the foetus’s size, providing a more accurate due date, even for those with irregular periods.
