What do you see on an early pregnancy scan?
4 weeks
A gestation sac only – no evidence of a baby yet, therefore we cannot confirm if the pregnancy is in the right place.
5 weeks
A gestation sac with a yolk sac – no evidence of a baby yet, we can confirm if pregnancy is in the right place.
6 weeks
A gestation sac with a yolk sac and a foetal pole (baby) with a heart beat.
Method of scan
Transabdominal scans
During a transabdominal scan, the sonographer places gel onto your lower abdomen, and firmly moves the probe back and forth. We request that you attend the scan with a full bladder, which means that you must drink one litre of water approximately one and a half hours before the scan is performed. You must not empty your bladder until after the scan.
Transvaginal scans
