Early Pregnancy Scan (7-11 weeks)
Fetus at 9 weeks
What is an early pregnancy scan?
This scan gives you information about early pregnancy and is performed between 7 and 11 weeks of pregnancy.
What is the aim of this scan?
The aim of this scan is to confirm your date for delivery, identify the number of babies present and give you some reassurance about the early development of your baby.
Can I find out the sex of the baby?
No, it is too early to find out the sex of your baby. This can be done from 19 weeks onwards.
Do you always get a good view of the baby?
The accuracy of ultrasound depends on obtaining the optimum image possible. This may be difficult for the sonographers if:
- there is increased maternal BMI
- your bladder is not sufficiently full
- your LMP date is erroneous
We will try our best to tell you as much as we can from the scan.
