Private Early Pregnancy Scan London | £75 Off-Peak

Q: Will my early pregnancy scan be an internal or external abdominal scan?

At 6 to 8 weeks, an internal (transvaginal) scan is often recommended because it provides much clearer, high-definition images of the tiny developing pregnancy sac and fetal pole. However, depending on your gestation and body shape, an abdominal (over-the-tummy) scan may be performed first with a full bladder. Both methods are safe, gentle, and performed with your consent by our registered specialists. Learn more about our clinical safety standards on The Scan Clinic about us page.

About the Early Pregnancy Scan

Finding out you are pregnant is one of life’s most memorable moments. While those first few weeks bring immense excitement, waiting until your routine NHS 12-week scan can feel like a lifetime away.

Our early pregnancy scan (also known as a 6-week scan, first pregnancy scan, or fetal viability scan) provides essential peace of mind during your first trimester. Available from 6 weeks onward, this private assessment gives you vital clinical insights into your baby’s development when you need them most.

Fetal Viability & Heartbeat Check

Confirm gestational sac positioning, evaluate early embryo development, and—where dates allow—see your baby’s beating heart for the very first time.

Gestational Age & Progress Tracking

Gain accurate measurements to establish how many weeks pregnant you are, evaluate progress, and estimate your due date with confidence.

Symptom Check & Reassurance

If you are experiencing light spotting, unusual pelvic discomfort, or have a history of pregnancy loss, an early scan provides clarity and peace of mind.

Whether you are visiting for routine early reassurance or investigating early symptoms, our sonographers at The Scan Clinic ensure you feel fully relaxed, supported, and informed throughout your appointment.

Objective of the scan

Our early pregnancy scan aims to assess if visible:

location and viability of early pregnancy from 6 to 11 weeks using ultrasound.
single or multiple pregnancies.
provide early indications of your pregnancy dates and, if possible, the estimated due date (EDD).
provide early scan measurements.
2 complimentary B&W pictures of your baby included.
Heartbeat bears, additional pictures, movie clips, and more are also available to purchase on the day!

This scan requires you to have had either a positive urine pregnancy test or a positive pregnancy blood test.

Viability Scan

Our viability scan, also known as an early pregnancy scan, helps confirm how your pregnancy is progressing during those crucial initial weeks. The primary aim of this examination is to detect a healthy fetal heartbeat—a vital milestone that provides immediate reassurance that your pregnancy is developing safely inside the womb.

We perform viability scans from as early as 6 weeks of pregnancy. At this early stage, ultrasound imaging allows us to evaluate key markers, including:

The gestational sac (pregnancy sac)
The yolk sac (which nourishes the early embryo)
The fetal pole (the tiny developing baby, which often resembles a small bean or tadpole on screen)

Many expectant parents choose an early viability scan for peace of mind, particularly if they have experienced unusual symptoms like mild cramping or spotting, have a history of pregnancy loss, or simply want early confirmation before their routine 12-week scan.

Common Reasons for an Early Baby Pregnancy Scan

An early pregnancy scan provides vital answers and peace of mind during the first few weeks of pregnancy. Whether you are seeking early confirmation or experiencing concerning symptoms, our team ensures you feel supported, comfortable, and well-cared for throughout your visit.

Why Book an Early Scan?

Early Baby Pregnancy Scan London

Pregnancy can be the most exciting journey. But it can also be packed with anxiety and worry. Private ultrasounds are one of the ways healthcare providers and mothers-to-be keep tabs on their unborn children and monitor their development.

During the pregnancy window, your doctor might prescribe several ultrasounds. The most important among them is the early pregnancy scan. Depending on the scan results, it plays various roles and sets the stage for your prenatal care.

Why Get an Early Pregnancy Scan

An early pregnancy scan (weeks 6–11) provides vital clinical reassurance and accurate gestational dating without requiring a GP referral.

What You Can Expect to See by Gestational Week

Gestational Window	What the Scan Reveals	Recommended Add-Ons
Weeks 6 – 7	Confirms gestational sac, yolk sac, and early fetal pole. The heartbeat can often be seen as a faint flicker.	Combine with SneakPeek Gender Test or HCG Blood Test
Weeks 8 – 9	Clearer visual definition of embryo size, gestational age measurements, and a distinct, steady heartbeat.	Routine early reassurance check
Weeks 10 – 11	The baby begins to exhibit early movements! Major structural boundaries form with high-precision dating prior to your NHS scan.	Combine with Private Dating Scan or NIPT Screening

🩸 Reaching 10 Weeks? Consider Advanced NIPT Screening

From 10 weeks of pregnancy, you are eligible for simple, non-invasive genetic screening. Our Non-Invasive Prenatal Test (NIPT) analyzes cell-free fetal DNA from a simple blood sample to screen for Down’s, Edwards’, and Patau’s syndromes with over 99% accuracy—plus early gender determination if desired.

👉 Explore NIPT Blood Tests → (Can be conveniently added during your scan booking.)

Benefits of Getting an Early Pregnancy Scan

While many early pregnancy scans are performed for medical reassurance, taking an early look at your baby offers numerous physical and emotional benefits:

🩺 Peace of Mind & Early Detection: It is completely normal to have concerns during early pregnancy. A scan provides instant reassurance by confirming a healthy intrauterine pregnancy and detecting an early heartbeat. Early assessment also allows clinicians to address any potential concerns promptly—learn more about what to expect in our guide on early pregnancy scan milestones.
👶 See Your Baby for the First Time: Nine months is a long time to wait. An early scan lets you see your developing baby for the first time, hear their heartbeat, and take home your very first souvenir scan photos and digital memories to start building a connection.
📅 Accurate Dating & Better Planning: Knowing your exact gestational age helps you establish an accurate due date. Whether confirming a single pregnancy or discovering you are expecting twins, getting early clarity gives you maximum time to prepare your home, nursery, and birth plan.
🛡️ No GP Referral Required: You can access swift, direct care without long NHS waiting lists. Review our transparent pricing and package options to book an appointment at a time that works for you.

Common Questions

How much is an early pregnancy scan in London?

Private early pregnancy scans in London can vary significantly and cost as much as £200 or more. However, The Scan Clinc’s private early pregnancy scan costs from £75.

How early can you have an early pregnancy scan?

You can safely have an early pregnancy scan as early as 6 weeks, and in certain instances even earlier. At the 6 week stage, the scan can show the embryo, its positioning, the number of embryos and whether they share the same amniotic fluid. Small electrical pulses of the heartbeat can also be detected.

What if my scan shows there’s something wrong, or I receive bad news?

We understand that this is never easy news to hear, and our caring team will always approach the situation with sensitivity and compassion. Our experienced sonographers have supported many patients through similar circumstances and will take the time to explain everything clearly and gently.

If there are any concerns, we’ll provide you with a detailed medical report and guidance on what to do next. We’ll also advise you on the most appropriate next steps and, if needed, refer you to your GP or local NHS early pregnancy unit for ongoing care and support.

Are your sonographers qualified?

Absolutely. All of our sonographers are highly experienced, fully qualified, and based in London. Many of our team have worked in NHS roles, and some have even been featured on television for their expertise.

We believe that a great scan isn’t just about having the latest ultrasound equipment — it’s also about the skill and care of the person performing it. Our sonographers are trained to interpret the images quickly and accurately, while making your experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible. Every member of our team has completed the relevant professional training and holds full certification, so you can feel confident that you’re in safe hands.

Is an early pregnancy scan safe for adults and babies?

Ultrasound scans aren’t known to have any negative side effects on the mother-to-be or the unborn child. Unlike X-rays, they don’t produce any radiation and are largely safe. However, a qualified and certified sonographer should only perform the scan for the best results. The scan can help confirm the pregnancy and its viability, among other vital details that healthcare providers need to provide comprehensive prenatal care.

Can you see a heartbeat at an early pregnancy scan?

Yes, a baby’s heartbeat can typically be detected on an ultrasound from 6 weeks of pregnancy onwards. If you attend a scan slightly earlier than 6 weeks, or if your ovulation dates differ, it may still be too early to visualize fetal heart activity. In these cases, our specialists will recommend scheduling a follow-up dating & reassurance scan 1 to 2 weeks later.

Will my early pregnancy scan be an internal or external abdominal scan?

At 6 to 8 weeks, an internal (transvaginal) scan is often recommended because it provides much clearer, high-definition images of the tiny developing pregnancy sac and fetal pole. However, depending on your gestation and body shape, an abdominal (over-the-tummy) scan may be performed first with a full bladder. Both methods are safe, gentle, and performed with your consent by our registered specialists. Learn more about our clinical safety standards on The Scan Clinic about us page.

Do I need a full bladder for an early pregnancy scan?

If you are having an abdominal scan, yes—we recommend drinking approximately 0.5 litres of clear still water 30 to 45 minutes before your appointment and avoiding using the bathroom. A full bladder acts as a window to lift the uterus into clear view. If an internal scan is required, your sonographer will ask you to empty your bladder right before the examination. Review our full scan preparation guide before attending.

Can an early pregnancy scan detect an ectopic pregnancy?

Yes. One of the primary medical purposes of an early pregnancy scan is to confirm that the pregnancy sac is safely implanted inside the womb (intrauterine) rather than in the fallopian tubes, helping to rule out an ectopic pregnancy. If an ectopic pregnancy is suspected, our team provides urgent clinical advice in accordance with official NHS Ectopic Pregnancy Care guidelines.

Can an early scan tell if I am expecting twins or multiples?

Yes. As early as 6 weeks, an ultrasound scan can accurately identify whether you are carrying a single embryo or multiple gestations (such as twins or triplets) by viewing the number of gestational sacs and fetal poles inside the uterus.

What happens if a heartbeat is not seen at my 6-week scan?

If a heartbeat isn’t visible, it often simply means your ovulation occurred later than expected and you are earlier in your pregnancy than calculated by your last menstrual period (LMP). Our sonographer will measure the gestational sac, provide clear guidance, and help you book a follow-up scan. If you are experiencing unexpected pelvic discomfort alongside this, you can also explore our general private pelvic ultrasound scan service.

Can you determine the gender of the baby during an early pregnancy scan?

No, an early pregnancy scan (between 6 and 11 weeks) cannot determine the sex of your baby because genital development is not far enough along to be visualized on an ultrasound. For accurate gender determination, you can book our specialist private gender scan from 14 to 16 weeks onwards, or check our full list of services and ultrasound scan prices.

Special Requirements: If you have any specific requirements or preferences for your appointment, including a preference for a male or female practitioner, accessibility needs, or other adjustments, please contact our Customer Care Team before your appointment so we can do our best to accommodate your request if possible.
All scans are performed to accomplish the main objective only.

For scans with gender assessment included (16 weeks onwards), any information regarding the sex of the baby is not guaranteed & ultrasound alone is not 100% accurate as some babies can be ambiguous.

The Scan Clinic or its staff can not be in any way held responsible upon the reliance of such information.
Filming is not permitted (allowed) in the scan room, if you wish to have a video or recording of the scan this can be purchased – please discuss with the customer care member.
