What Is an Early Pregnancy Scan?
An Early Pregnancy Scan is an ultrasound examination performed in the first trimester of pregnancy, usually between 6 and 10 weeks. It is done to confirm that the pregnancy is developing inside the uterus, check the presence of a fetal heartbeat, and accurately determine the gestational age. This scan also helps identify multiple pregnancies and detect early concerns such as ectopic pregnancy or signs of miscarriage, providing reassurance and helping doctors plan appropriate prenatal care from an early stage.
