How is the Early Pregnancy Scan done?

During an early pregnancy scan, also known as a dating scan or viability scan, an external or internal ultrasound examination is performed to assess the early stages of pregnancy. The procedure involves the use of high-frequency sound waves that create detailed images of the uterus, gestational sac, and developing embryo or fetus. The scan is conducted by an experienced female doctor in a comfortable and private setting. In an external (abdominal) scan, a gel is applied to the abdomen, and a handheld device called a probe is moved gently over the area. This probe emits sound waves that bounce back, creating real-time images on a monitor. In some cases, a transvaginal scan (TVS) may be recommended for better visualization, especially in early stages of pregnancy. This involves the insertion of a specially designed transducer into the vagina, which provides clearer and closer images of the uterus and developing embryo or fetus. Most people feel mild pressure or discomfort during TVS, not pain. The early pregnancy scan typically takes around 10 to 15 minutes to complete. Ultrasound uses sound waves (not radiation) and is generally considered safe when performed appropriately. It allows healthcare professionals to accurately measure the gestational age, confirm the presence of a viable pregnancy, assess the number of embryos, and detect any early signs of potential complications. The procedure offers expectant parents valuable insights into their pregnancy, providing reassurance, and allowing for appropriate medical support and interventions if needed. It is an important step in the prenatal care journey, ensuring the early detection and monitoring of the pregnancy for a healthy and successful outcome.

2

3

4

When is the Early Pregnancy Scan done?

• 5 weeks: Gestational sac may be seen (not always visible this early) • 5.5–6 weeks: Yolk sac often appears • 6–7 weeks: Heartbeat often detectable — this is the most common "best value" window • 7–8 weeks: Clearer dating and viability confirmation; fewer "repeat scan" situations Sometimes we may ask you to repeat the scan after 7–10 days if it's too early to confirm. This is normal and ensures we give you accurate information rather than uncertain results.

It helps confirm intrauterine pregnancy, estimate gestational age, and check for a heartbeat. What an early pregnancy scan CAN help with: • Confirm pregnancy is in the uterus (intrauterine) • Estimate gestational age and due date • Detect heartbeat (usually visible from 6–7 weeks) • Check for multiple pregnancies (twins) • Identify obvious concerns like significant bleeding What an early pregnancy scan CANNOT fully determine: • Ectopic pregnancy in every very early case • Future miscarriage risk • Genetic or chromosomal abnormalities (requires later screening) Early Pregnancy Scan Near Bellandur, Koramangala, HSR Layout & Marathahalli Her Care is located on Bellandur Service Road, easily accessible from Koramangala, HSR Layout, Marathahalli, and Sarjapur Road.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an early pregnancy scan? close
An early pregnancy scan is a diagnostic procedure that uses ultrasound technology to assess the progress of a pregnancy during the first trimester.
When is an early pregnancy scan usually performed? close
Early pregnancy scans are typically performed between 6 to 12 weeks of gestation.
Why is an early pregnancy scan important? close
An early pregnancy scan is important to confirm the presence of a viable pregnancy, determine the gestational age, and assess the health of the embryo or fetus.
Is the procedure for an early pregnancy scan painful? close
An early pregnancy scan is generally comfortable. An abdominal scan is non-invasive. A transvaginal scan (TVS) may cause mild pressure or discomfort, but most people tolerate it well. Let us know if you feel uncomfortable at any point.
How long does an early pregnancy scan take? close
An early pregnancy scan usually takes around 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
Can my partner accompany me during the early pregnancy scan? close
Yes, in most cases, partners are welcome to accompany you during the early pregnancy scan.
Are there any risks associated with early pregnancy scans? close
Ultrasound uses sound waves (not radiation) and is generally considered safe when performed appropriately by trained professionals. There is no known harm to the mother or baby from diagnostic ultrasound.
Will I be able to see my baby during the early pregnancy scan? close
Yes, an early pregnancy scan allows you to see the gestational sac, yolk sac, and possibly the embryo or fetus depending on the stage of pregnancy.
What information will I learn from an early pregnancy scan? close
An early pregnancy scan provides information about the gestational age, confirms the presence of a heartbeat, assesses the number of embryos, and detects any early signs of potential complications.
Can an early pregnancy scan detect all types of abnormalities? close
An early pregnancy scan can detect some structural abnormalities, but it is not a comprehensive diagnostic test for all types of abnormalities. Additional specialized tests may be recommended if needed.
Do I need a full bladder for an early pregnancy scan? close
For an abdominal scan, a moderately full bladder helps provide clearer images. For a transvaginal scan (TVS), an empty bladder is preferred. We will guide you on preparation when you book your appointment.
When is a transvaginal scan (TVS) needed? close
TVS is often recommended in early pregnancy (before 8 weeks) as it provides clearer images when the embryo is very small. It may also be suggested if the abdominal scan does not provide clear views due to body type or position of the uterus.
What if I am spotting — can I still get a scan? close
Yes, you can still have an early pregnancy scan if you are experiencing spotting. In fact, a scan can help assess the cause of spotting and check on the pregnancy. Please inform our team about your symptoms when booking.
What can an early pregnancy scan tell me, and what can it not tell? close
An early scan can confirm intrauterine pregnancy (in most cases), estimate gestational age, look for heartbeat (depending on weeks), and check for obvious concerns. However, it cannot fully rule out ectopic pregnancy in every very early situation, predict future miscarriage risk, or detect genetic/chromosomal issues (those require later screening tests).
How much does an early pregnancy scan cost in Bangalore? close
At Her Care, an early pregnancy scan costs ₹2,000. We also offer a package with blood tests at ₹3,700. Prices are all-inclusive with no hidden costs. You get digital and physical reports on the same day.
