Viability Scan

£59 £49

The viability scan is designed to provide peace of mind from as early as 6 weeks, through to 16 weeks of pregnancy. All of our scans are performed by a qualified and registered sonographer.

What can I expect to see during my Viability Scan?

There are many factors which can affect what you will see during your viability scan. Your cycle length is key. You will be asked to input your LMP when booking. Providing you have a regular 28-day cycle and your LMP is 6 weeks ago, we would expect to see a 6 week embryo with a heartbeat.

A shorter cycle may mean that you’re further on in your pregnancy than you expect! If your cycle is irregular or longer than the 28 days, this could mean that you are less than 6 weeks. If this is the case, you may see a 5 – 6 week pregnancy with just a yolk sac present, which is completely normal for that gestation.

Our sonographers will have a conversation with you before your scan to gain a better understanding of your cycle length and to relay any important information. It’s important to consider the factors above when booking your scan.

Book Scan

You must still attend your 20 week scan with the NHS.

Preparing for your early reassurance and viability scan

You must attend your routine scans with the NHS.

You can prepare for your early reassurance scan by ensuring that you are properly hydrated in the 24 hours before your appointment. Please arrive with a full bladder.

It is sometimes necessary during the earlier stages of pregnancy to offer an internal scan. This is because it can be difficult to see the fetus via the abdomen at this stage. Many factors influence this (including hydration). Please ensure you arrive for your scan with a full bladder. As with all of our scans, you have the right to stop the procedure at any time.

Additional images, digital downloads of your scan images and a variety of products are available at Hey Baby 4D Hayes to purchase on the day.
