Early Pregnancy Scan - Obstetric

Before 11 weeks of pregnancy

This may be the first scan you will have and is often done when you are not sure if you are pregnant or to provide reassurance in very early pregnancy.

It is usually requested by your doctor or midwife in to confirm that your pregnancy is healthy and ongoing and to check the date when your baby is due.

An Early Pregnancy Scan is also useful if:

• You don’t know the date of your last period
• You have had some worrying bleeding
• You think you may be miscarrying

Dating the pregnancy at this early stage will help you better organise your scans and your ongoing pregnancy care.
