Please note that pregnancy scan services are only available at Circle Reading Hospital.
There are a number of pregnancy scans available at Circle Health:
- Viability scans - from six weeks onwards to confirm viable pregnancy and dates
- Anomaly scans - to check for fetal anomaly
- Growth scans - to check that baby is growing well
Most of these scans are done abdominally, but a transvaginal scan (where a probe is placed inside the vagina) can be necessary in early pregnancy.
Sometimes, a repeat scan can be needed to confirm viability in early stages of pregnancy.
