Viability & Reassurance Scan
From 6 weeks, confirm a healthy heartbeat, early peace of mind
Our Viability & Reassurance Scan confirms an ongoing pregnancy by detecting a fetal heartbeat and checking early development.
Suitable from as early as 6 weeks, this scan is ideal for early reassurance, particularly after a previous loss or where there have been concerns.
Each scan comes complete with a scan report.
Your Visit
During your visit, you will have time for check-in at reception, undergo the scan, review your images where feasible, and ask the sonographer any questions you may have.
Important Information
- If you are experiencing bleeding, severe pain or any urgent symptoms during pregnancy, please contact your GP, midwife or local hospital immediately.
- Our ultrasound scans are non-diagnostic and are provided for reassurance and wellbeing purposes only.
- If you have any medical concerns about your pregnancy, please contact your GP, midwife or primary healthcare provider for medical advice.
- Internal scans are only performed when necessary and with your consent.
- If you have any concerns about having an internal scan, please contact us in advance or let a member of our team know before your visit.
Before your scan
We recommend arriving about 10 minutes before your visit to allow time to park and make yourself comfortable in the clinic.
Upon arrival you will complete and sign our Consent Form so we can confirm your details and obtain your consent to perform the scan.
You can bring up to 4 guests to your visit — family, friends and kids are all welcome.
Please bring your pregnancy notes in case our sonographer needs to refer to them during your reassurance scan.
Our friendly team will guide you every step of the way.
Please Note:
The primary purpose of the scan is not to provide digital downloads. If you have purchased digital downloads, we will provide whatever is captured on the day of the scan.
Important Points to Consider:
- No rescan or additional time will be offered solely for the purpose of obtaining better pictures.
- Image quality is entirely dependent on the baby's position at the time of the scan, which is beyond our control.
