Early Pregnancy
Ultrasound Scans / Viability Scans at Beard Mill Clinic, Oxford
An early pregnancy ultrasound
or viability scan can be performed as early as 6 weeks of pregnancy at Beard Mill Clinic near Oxford. It is ideal for
those who are keen to see, their baby's development in
early pregnancy and hear it's heart beating.
The viability
scan is particularly useful for women who are unsure of the date of
their last period, or who are experiencing pain or bleeding during
the pregnancy. It is also helpful for those who require early reassurance
for any reason or have had a previous miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.
Importantly
the early pregnancy ultrasound scan can:
Confirm that the baby is developing appropriately
Check that the baby is in the correct position within the womb
Accurately date the pregnancy
Identify a multiple pregnancy

cases, the viability scan can be carried out abdominally but it may
be necessary to perform a transvaginal (internal) scan if the baby
is very small. In all cases however, the scan will be undertaken by
