The early scan is designed to provide peace of mind from as early as 6 weeks, through to 13 weeks of pregnancy. All of our scans are performed by a qualified and registered sonographer.
What can I expect to see during my Early Scan?
There are many factors which can affect what you will see during
your early 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.
Scan length: 10 minutes
Appointment duration: 15 minutes

If you are unsure of your LMP and / or have irregular cycles we advise waiting until at least 7 weeks of pregnancy before attending an appointment. This will give us a better chance to confirm your pregnancy.
You must still attend your routine scans with the NHS.
Preparing for your early scan
You can prepare for your scan by ensuring that you are properly hydrated in the 24 hours before your appointment. Please arrive with a full bladder.
Please arrive 5 minutes prior to your appointment time to complete your paperwork
Please bring your pregnancy notes with you. We may not need them, but it is helpful if our qualified sonographers need to refer to them at any stage during your early scan.
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 refuse or 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 Hull to purchase on the day.
