Peace of mind, when you need it most
The early weeks of pregnancy can feel like a whirlwind of emotions – joy, uncertainty, hope, and, sometimes, anxiety. If you’ve recently found out you’re pregnant (or think you might be), you may find yourself searching for reassurance before your first NHS appointment.
At Window to the Womb, we understand how important it is to feel informed and at ease during these early moments. That’s why we offer private early pregnancy scans, designed to give you clarity, confidence, and connection – well before your 12-week scan.
What Is an Early Pregnancy Scan?
An early pregnancy scan is a private ultrasound performed between 6 and 10 weeks of pregnancy. It’s also known as a viability or dating scan and is particularly useful if you:
- Have had previous losses or fertility treatment
- Are unsure of your dates
- Want to confirm that your pregnancy is progressing normally
- Simply want reassurance that everything looks as it should
Unlike routine NHS scans, which typically begin at 12 weeks, our early scans are available much sooner—and on your schedule.
What You Can Expect
When you book an Early Reassurance Scan with Window to the Womb, you’ll receive:
- A gentle, expert ultrasound scan from a qualified medical sonographer
- Confirmation of pregnancy location (to rule out ectopic pregnancy)
- Detection of heartbeat (typically visible from around 6 weeks onwards)
- Accurate dating and measurement
- Clear explanation and time for questions
- A printed photo to take home, if baby is visible
Our clinics are calm, private spaces where you’ll feel welcomed, supported, and never rushed.
